Daedalus's Children: Part Two of Two (Star Trek: Enterprise) [Mass Market Paperback]

I liked the way Stern delved into the histories of the character by bringing up the striking differences between this stories universe and the real one. We get to see the struggle of Archer and crew to fight the ailments of this universe and obtain their freedom from the quarreling factions in this universe.

This was a very good completion to a well develop story. Having finished them both part of me would have liked to see them combined into one novel. There seemed to a little too much filler but more story then a single novel. If you enjoyed the first part, you have no choice but to pick this book up and see if the crew makes it home.

"Daedalus's Children" takes off from where "Daedalus" adventure left off and tells an action-packed adventure where Captain Jonathan Archer shines and plays a majors roll in a good character novel bringing into play the rest of the major characters in the Star Trek-Enterprise series. We get really good character play and problem solving as the charater interact with the adventure at hand.

That adventure is three fold in nature as first the Enterprises and her crew have to be reunited with each other, next Captain Archer must work to solve a civil war that is about to breakout on Denari and deal with the oppressive ruler's "son." And, the third prong of theis adventure deals with getting back home to their own "Universe."

There are twists and turns and heartbreak in the book along with unexpected love affairs and the consequences conserning all of this three fold adventure. "Daedalus's Children" is a well-told action-adventure that will keep the reader's attention till the end as event arise and problems are thrown into the mix you'll read on trying to see if the Enterprise crew is up to the task at hand.

I found the book to be quite captivating and it piqued my interest as I read the first 250 pages in the first setting. I couldn't put the book down. If you like the Star Trek-Enterprise television episodic adventure you'll be glad to know this book doesn't disturbe that timeline what-so-ever. Just that we read another well though out adventure.

As I've said, this book incorporates the whole Enterprise crew to work closely to solve this adventure, along with the Daedalus's crew as they try to solve a Quantum Universe mystery

I found this book to be better than "Daedalus" David Stern's first book in the series as he really gets all of Enterprise working in this three-fold adventure. For this book, I gave "Daedalus's Children" a solid 5 star rating as it kept the reader involved and into the story. Captivating with intrigue and action-adventure and the story is well-written and keeps the reader engrossed till the end.
