Product Description:
As the Federation recovers from the devastating events of Star Trek: Destiny, Captain William Riker and the crew of the U.S.S. Titan are ordered to resume their deep-space assignment, reaffirming Starfleet's core principles of peaceful exploration. But even far from home on a mission of hope, the scars of the recent cataclysm remain with them as they slowly rebuild their lives.
The planet Droplet is a world made mostly of water without a speck of solid ground. Life should not exist here, yet it thrives. Aili Lavena, Titan's aquatic navigator, spearheads the exploration of this mysterious world, facing the dangers of the vast, wild ocean. When one native species proves to be sentient, Lavena finds herself immersed in a delicate contact situation, and Riker is called away from Deanna Troi at a critical moment in their marriage.
But when good intentions bring calamity, Lavena and Riker are cut off from the crew and feared lost. Troi must face a life-changing event without her husband, while the crew must brave the crushing pressures of the deep to undo the global chaos they have triggered. Stranded with her injured captain, Lavena must win the trust of the beings who control their fate -- but the price for Riker's survival may be the loss of everything he holds dear.

Star Trek: Titan: Over a Torrent Sea is a science-fiction novel. The science is good. The fiction...well....
Christopher L. Bennett loves to explain. Details, details, details. His stories always make sense, logically flow, and are as "realistic" as Trek fiction goes. Depending on how interested you are in marine life, you'll end up learning a lot, or skimming through paragraphs of scientific elucidation.
As for the actual story of the book, it's not all that great. Titan ... Read More

Boring. That was the first adjective that came to mind at the conclusion on page 349. Don't get me wrong; 'Over a Torrent Sea' is not a poor written novel. In fact, it has some interesting points to it. The alien world-du-jour is offbeat; this isn't the typical Trek novel in that there really are no bad guys involved; a lot of minor plots that have been running throughout the Titan series seem to come to head in this novel. Yet, even with the original aliens, the vivid alien world and plots coming ... Read More

It always amazes me when a person gives a Star Trek novel a bad review. I mean, how could it be bad? It's *Star Trek!* These are novels that go creatively and delightfully outside the box of the television franchise, and - in Titan's case - WAAAY outside the box. They are great fun to read, educational at times, even, and I don't believe they need to have any deeper meaning than that.
It was clear to me Chris Bennett did a great deal of research to put this novel together, to create ... Read More

This book was terrible. After reading the Destiny trilogy, I picked this one up and what a mistake that was. What a stupid story and it got even stupider when Deanna gave birth. Reminded me of the Star Trek movie with the whales.
