Voyager Flashback Television Episode Book,
This review is from: Flashback (Star Trek: Voyager) (Paperback)
The Voyager Flashback episode was one of my favourite Star Trek Voyager episodes and this book not only provides additional dialogue not shown on the television episode between the characters which enhances the storyline but it also stays true to the episode as well unlike some other Star Trek books.For anyone who enjoyed the "Flashback" episode of Star Trek Voyager (the episode of Captain Sulu and the USS Excelsior), this book is a good read.

STV Flashback - A good novelization!,
By
This review is from: Flashback (Star Trek: Voyager) (Paperback)
As part of the thirtieth anniversary of Star Trek, the producers of Star Trek decided to honor and make tribute to the Original Series through the two series that were currently airing, Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Star Trek Voyager. "Flashback" is Voyagers entry in that tributary role and plays well as such, with a story that centers on the USS Excelsior and its leader, Captain Sulu.I'm quite certain that George Takei was ecstatic to get an opportunity to don the Starfleet uniform one more time as Captain Sulu and take the bridge of the Excelsior. The show was a great show in so many ways, yet for me, the story seemed a little forced or least not as fluidic a story as it should've been. It is with that memory of the episode in mind that I picked up the novelization. As most novelizations in Star Trek are done, Diane Carey received the nod for this novel and as usual, she does an outstanding job of greatly enhancing the original story. In this case it's the story of one of Star Trek Voyager's executive producers and most prominent writers, Brannon Braga. With "Flashback," Diane Carey's usual good pacing and between the scenes on the screen scenes, make for another good novelization. The cover art for "Flashback," isn't all that imaginative but it does do the casual reader some good as far as letting them know that if they pick this one up, they're going to see something very rare in a Star Trek novel, Captain's Janeway and Sulu in the same story. The premise: Lieutenant Tuvok, while appearing to be a young officer, in fact has lived long enough to have served aboard the USS Excelsior with Captain Sulu as her captain. When Voyager enters a strange nebula, he starts to have "problems." Before long, these "problems" become life threatening and soon Captain Janeway, who considers Tuvok to be her closest friend, is there to help him... What follows from there is a highly intriguing story in the Star Trek Voyager canon and I highly recommend this novelization if you wish to further your knowledge of the events that occurred during that episode. {ssintrepid}

Fleshes out the TV episode,
By Matthew D. Hydeman "voyage" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flashback (Star Trek: Voyager) (Paperback)
There's one good thing about novelizations of television shows -- they help to add a bit more dimension to things. Such is the case with this novelization of the VOYAGER episode FLASHBACK. The story, which deals with Tuvok's recollection of his career in Starfleet before his friendship with Janeway, helps showcase the enigmatic Vulcan (played to perfection by Tim Russ) and his experiences on another famous Starfleet vessel -- the EXCELSIOR, captained by one Hikaru Sulu. The novel follows the episode very well (Tuvok's memories of the EXCELSIOR, coupled with a intriguing mystery for the Voyager crew that hinges on those same memories) but adds that depth to the characters which only a novelization can do, not to mention allowing other scenes to be shown that might not be readily done by the show. For a writer, it's pretty easy to take a script and flesh it out to what the episode writer's written, but the author here has gone one better and given the scenes a depth that compliments the on-screen action. If you enjoyed the television episode, then why not go one step farther yourself and read the novelization? It's a read well worth your time.

identical,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flashback (Star Trek: Voyager) (Paperback)
This book follows the telivision episode very closly, and if you like Star Trek Voyager, you'll see that Diane Carey has done a good job with the characterization. Otherwise, it's just like watching the episode, with no remarkable background info hidden in Tuvok's thoughts.

If you like the episode, you'll love the book!!!!!!!,
By S. Bello - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flashback (Star Trek: Voyager) (Paperback)
I never really got into the Voyager series so I had no idea that the Sulu cross over episode had aired.I saw the novel and being a great "Captain Sulu of the Exelcior" fan I had to read it. Before I read a page I discovered the VHS tape of the episode. I watched the episode, read the book and wow! The book is far more fleshed out! If you are a fan of such cross over book/episode fun as "Unification", "Relics" or "Trial & Tribble-ations", you will love this book. |
