STV #7 Ghost of a Chance - An interesting premise!,
By
This review is from: Ghost of a Chance (Mass Market Paperback)
"Ghost of a Chance" is the first of only two Star Trek novels by Mark Garland and the only one with Charles G. McGraw. While I found the premise of this story to be a very interesting one, the plot setup, execution and pacing to be somewhat troubling, detracting from the experience of the book. The saving grace for this novel is the authors' characterizations which were pretty good.The cover art for this novel is pretty much the standard fare for when it was published, somewhat bland. The premise: While making an attempt to plus up the ships supply of deuterium, Voyager encounters a brown dwarf star, causing a great amount of damage. Chakotay starts having "visions" and believes they're linked to one of the planets in the Drenar system where they encountered the brown dwarf. They soon discover that many of them are having visions and since the engines are in need of repair that will take several days, they decided to explore Drenar Four and discover a primitive civilization and their plight, severe volcanic stresses. The question of violating the Prime Directive comes immediately into play. An alien ship soon enters the picture, the Televek and they offer aid to both Voyager and the planets inhabitants but Captain Janeway finds their offer questionable and she soon finds herself in a quagmire... While "Ghost of a Chance" isn't among the top Star Trek Voyager books available I would still recommend it as an interesting read in the series. {ssintrepid}

Good Read,

This review is from: Ghost of a Chance (Mass Market Paperback)
For novels of the Star Trek shows, I have a bit of lowered expectations as they never seem to live up to the episodes.However, for a Star Trek novel, this one is pretty good. Yeah, there are some little minor problems in it, but I don't think I've read a television series novel without any. The storyline kept my interest and I actually wanted to keep reading it to find out how everything worked out in the end (because we all know no main characters will die and everyone will generally be happily ever after). So if you're looking for another Voyager novel to read, pick this one up.

A decent read, but nothing stellar.,

This review is from: Ghost of a Chance (Mass Market Paperback)
This book had some very enjoyable moments. I really enjoyed the Janeway/Tuvok/Kim interaction. And it was nice to see the spiritual side of Chakotay again.The aliens were interesting, and I got a kick out of the way Paris and Chakotay were almost unable to resist, but it was a bit overdone. While I enjoyed some aspects of this book, it failed to really draw me in and capture my imagination.
