This review is from: Star Trek: The Original Series: Crucible: Kirk: The Star to Every Wandering (Mass Market Paperback)
crucible kirk is the last part of the trilogy of the big three. this lets us understand kirk from a different point of view. we relife when he killed gary mitchell, lost edith keller, met his wife anoria from generations. also when he helped picard in the nexus. you find that he never got over losing edith keeler and the effect it had on him so many years later. good book. i perfered spock, but if you like kirk you,ll like this.

A powerful conclusion to a terrific homage,

This review is from: Star Trek: The Original Series: Crucible: Kirk: The Star to Every Wandering (Mass Market Paperback)
The entire Crucible trilogy is an ambitious undertaking that succeeds very strongly in paying homage to the 40 year phenomenon of Star Trek.No piece of fiction has managed to capture the entirety of the essence of the big three (Kirk, Spock and Bones) as David R. George III has managed to do. This third and final installment is a departure in approach from the first two volumes and it's better for it. If you enjoy deep introspective character pieces with some familiar Star Trek type action then you're in for a very special treat. Of the hundreds of Star Trek novels that have been written since the late 60's, A Star To Every Wandering is my second favourite, (right behind Crucible: McCoy: Provenance of Shadows) The series, and indeed this book, manages to encompass the forty years of the original series with a sense of finality and closure. It's a most deserving and satisfying culmination.

Not as good as the Spock and McCoy "Crucible" novels,
By Roger J. Buffington - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I like this author, and I really enjoyed the McCoy and the Spock "Crucible" novels. I did not particularly like this novel. A good part of my dislike is based upon its emphasis on events that took place in the "Star Trek Generations" film. I always thought that the whole premise of "Generations" was silly and improbable, and perhaps for this reason I had trouble investing much interest in this story.Some hard core Star Trek fans will no doubt enjoy this piece, but I found it to be distinctly weaker than the other two Crucible novels, and I had difficulty finishing it. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Crucible: Kirk,
By Mark F. Henderson - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Star Trek: The Original Series: Crucible: Kirk: The Star to Every Wandering (Mass Market Paperback)
Out of the three books regarding McCoy, Spock & Kirk, I found the one about Kik the least enjoyable. I was surprised since the other two were outstanding reads. It was still OK and worth the time to read. It's just that the other two were that much better. Still, I'm glad to have in my ST Universe collection.

Star Trek TOS: Crucible Trilogy - Kirk,
By P. McCoy "Friend of Bill W. and Dr. Bob" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Star Trek: The Original Series: Crucible: Kirk: The Star to Every Wandering (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read all three books in the Crucible Trilogy in the order that they were written, beginning with McCoy, then Spock, and finally ending with Kirk. The book on Captain Kirk: The Star to Every Wandering was a bittersweet tale of love lost and the hope of finding that lost love again. This book was written to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Star Trek the Original Series and has references to various television episodes as well as the Trek films in which Captain Kirk appeared. The common thread that all three books in the Crucible Trilogy has is the TV epsiode: "The City on the Edge of Forever". If you enjoyed that episode, I feel confident that you will enoy reading each one of the Crucible Trilogy books.
