that which makes love possible...
20. September 1998
Von Ein Kunde
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This is one of the very best of the Star Trek novels - (along with, say, Strangers from the Sky, or Best Destiny) full of action, full of tossed-off references that will delight longtime fans, full of rapid-fire dialogue, and best of all, totally LACKING the smothering homogeneity that seems de rigeur for all brands of Star Trek novels today (i.e. it was written pre-franchise, when writers didn't have to memorize and regurgitate a 400-page "bible" of do's and don't's). The villain of the piece, Omne, has developed a variation on the transporter that exactly duplicates its subjects, hence the title's allusion to the phoenix. The price comes from the book's best piece of dialogue, when Omne is defiantly told by our heroes (including the Romulan Commander from "The Enterprise Incident"): "We will not sell that which makes love possible" - that is, the uniqueness of the one who's loved. That's a bit profound a sentiment for a Star Trek novel, and this book's sequel, "The Fate of the Phoenix," is very nearly as good and twice as long...

Spock must play a dangerous game to save his friend Jim.
24. August 1998

Format:Taschenbuch
After the death of Captain James T. Kirk, Spock goes down to the planet of the, so he believes, murder of his friend. We re-encounter the romulan Commander of the original series. We see here a Spock out of control and can only start to understand the frienship between the Captain and his first officer. It's very dark but very captivating. You don't want to put it down until you at the end.

Incredible story!
5. Juni 2006
Von M. V. Valles
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I've read many Star Trek books throughout the years and can unequivocally say this is the best one. This book is for serious readers only. It tackles many deep issues and is loaded with metaphors. The central theme is whether immortality is worth the price of your soul. The prose is amazing and is almost poetic. It is very dark compared to the original series but the loyalty and pure friendship that made the series great is captured here and taken to new heights.
The sequel to this book is nearly as good and I've wished for years that the authors would write a final third installment to the series. Read this book if you're looking for substance and an incredibly ominous villain rendered compelling and at moments even symptathetic. This novel stands on its own outside the science fiction genre as one of the best reads of all time.
