Product Description:
Jean-Luc Picard. His name has gone down in legend as the captain of the U.S.S. Stargazer and two starships Enterprise. But the nine years of his life leading up to the inaugural mission of the U.S.S. EnterpriseTM to Farpoint Station have remained a mystery -- until now, as Picard's lost era is finally unearthed.
Following the loss of the Stargazer and the brutal court-martial that resulted, Picard no longer sees a future for himself in Starfleet. Turning to his other love, archaeology, he embarks on a quest to rediscover a buried age of ancient galactic history...and awakens a living survivor of that era: a striking, mysterious woman frozen in time since before the rise of Earth's dinosaurs. But this powerful immortal has a secret of cataclysmic proportions, and her plans will take Picard -- aided along the way by a brilliant but naive android, an insightful Betazoid, and an enigmatic El-Aurian -- to the heights of passion, the depths of betrayal, and the farthest reaches of explored space.

Bennett is an incredible world builder. The Star Trek universe presented in this novel is every tiny bit as consistent and plausible as any series of science fiction ever released, and applies such copious amounts of ingenious spackle that even TNG's first two seasons almost make sense. The achievements in this area should not be overlooked; I almost feel like one should read this before ever watching Star Trek, in much the same way that Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy so entirely improved the original ...

Christopher Bennett's "Star Trek The Next Generation: The Buried Age" is among the finer examples of "Star Trek" fiction that I've come across lately. It is a most engaging, quite exciting, exploration of first contact that works too as a decent space opera science fiction novel. Here we are given some interesting, quite tantalizing, glimpses into Jean-Luc Picard's character, looking more closely at his lifelong interest in archaeology, and the aftermath of losing the USS Stargazer. It is also a fine introduction ... Read More

This book started out great don't get me wrong but then it just became bogged down with the technical stuff which ruined the series at times as well. I give it three stars just because we learn so much about Picard and other characters.
Rating: -
Covers period of Picard's life betweem loss of the Stargazer and Enterprise D (Next Gen). Predictible that the alien is going to fall for Picard and end up betraying him... ok for fans who want to fill in gap, but otherwise its obvious how book is going to end.

I can't praise this book more. Just to fair, Prime Directive is still my favorite Trek book of them all, but this one is in contention. C. Bennett has out-done himself (as well as most of Trek writers) with this terrific Trek addition. This author is clearly a fan of Trek as a whole and has seen through a novel that truly embodies the vastness of scale that the Trek Universe so wonderfully encompasses.
I've been a Trek fan as long as I can remember, and have read many Trek novels, but have encountered ... Read More
