A very odd Trek book: published after TNG was already a Thing, it involves Kirk being kidnapped by Klingons who trick him into believing he has been thrown into the future—a future of peace between Klingons and the Federation. The most interesting part was the Manchurian Candidate-style Klingon sleeper agents, their personalities suppressed by drugs. I kinda need to chew on that whole idea: is it ridiculous? Interestingly believable when discussing truly alien beings? Both? In any case, I don't think I could label this book as "good" or "bad"—just "unusual."… (plus d'informations)

At first I was severely critical of this book—are you really going to bring back Magna Roma? Magna Roma, from "Bread and Circuses," one of the cheesiest and silliest TOS episodes?—but I actually ended up really liking it, and feeling that it would have been a great episode (if only it were possible to show feline aliens in the 1980s on screen without having them look completely dopey). I really enjoyed the elements of culture clash and the multiple different martial cultures represented.

I found this book pretty uneven. I really liked the way that galactic politics and local star system politics played out. I was also really interested in the Onctiilian and its relationship to Nurse Chapel - so often I feel like Star Trek novels don't really try to delve into alien ways of life, and the Onctiiilians certainly were an attempt at that. But then, the idea that the Expansionist villain really secretly wanted to be Kirk, the way that captaincy was held up as a higher calling or unique burden - that part felt very old fashioned, and the Klingons and Romulans weren't well drawn, in my opinion. So while I enjoyed the book, it's not gonna be on my list of faves.… (plus d'informations)

A far future tale of civilization returning after it has collapsed. But what if the civilization that collapsed is far, far, in our future when we had spread to a far-flung interstellar empire and that didn't collapse, just Earth civilization did, and the empire lost track of the home world. Can Earth survive being re-colonized by the flourishing interstellar empire, just as they begin to realize that what is over the next ridge isn't the farthest place to explore?
