Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Little better than fan fiction that got published
I managed to read this book through in a single day, mainly so I wouldn't have to go back to it later. At first, the concept of Kirk as an Ensign was interesting and I do like stories involving Romulans and Vulcans, but I quickly became disappointed.

As several other reviewers have stated, the author's grasp of appropriate word usage is problematic at times. Usually I rush through paragraphs, but sometimes words catch you like a speed bump and you have to go back and reread a section ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Okay story ruined by poor writing and terrible editing
I, like many other reviewers, don't expect a lot from Star Trek novels and read them mainly because I have been a fan of the show since childhood and because they aren't particularly demanding to follow. However, this is one of the worst ST novels I've read. The storyline itself isn't terrible, if not terribly original - an alternate reality created by alteration of the past via time travel. But the writing is less than wonderful. Either the author was a moron (the "illegible" used instead of ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Fanfic with a fancy cover
This book could be called Slasher's Delight. The story itself wasn't bad for a ST novel.

Why only two stars? Two words: Embedded Quotes.

Any author or editor that would let an entire novel without proper dialogue in it should be throttled for letting a manuscript with this huge problem go to press. Any English teacher wouldn't let that slide.

In a way, it's too bad the ficcers didn't get their hands on this before it went to press. They'd have straightened ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Thrilling and wonderful ... best for K/S-shippers
I read this book almost on one day. It is really thrilling, especially all about the time-thing. The idea of a parallel-universe always fascinates me. The story is quite fast reading and you get all the pictures you need in your head to see how the reaction of the charakters would be.

The most I liked (as a K/S-Shipper) was the special bond between Kirk and Spock. It seems like the author took that fact as something you must not discuss about it, because it was seen all over the years in ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Enjoyable escapism
My expectations for a trek novel usually aren't too high, afterall if anyone has watched the shows and movies enough they should be able to echo the characters on paper pretty well.

This book involves an alternate universe, that is not the Mirror Mirror one. The romulans in an attempt to rid themselves of the Federation have gone back in time and killed the founders of the idea of having a Federation (this is even before first contact). The deaths of these three men alter history. It affects ... Read More
