STAR TREK: LOG ONE by Alan Dean Foster,
By thepaxdomini "The Book Review" - Published on Amazon.com
Star Trek: Log One (1974), by Alan Dean Foster, contains three novellas adapted from the first three episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series: "Beyond the Farthest Star," "Yesteryear," and "One of Our Planets is Missing." Here, the crew investigates an ancient derelict ship, Spock travels back in time to save his child self, and the Enterprise is swallowed by a planet-eating cloud.Each novella is about sixty pages, and generally, this is a good length for this material, although there's quite a bit more setup, especially for "Beyond," and the pacing tends to be on the leisurely side. Foster has a narrative flair for the dramatic, and his characters often ponder grand cosmic thoughts. The overall effect is a different tone and feel from either The Original Series or TAS. The stories themselves are solid if not spectacular; "Yesteryear" was easily the best TAS episode, and, with the most character focus of the three, it's the best story here, too. Foster's characterization is adequate at best, and the dialogue doesn't always ring true. The Kirk-Spock-McCoy interplay isn't on the level that Trek fans will likely expect, and tends to lack both charm and humor. Kirk himself is uncharacteristically awkward at times, while the Spock-McCoy exchanges are more immature and less good-spirited than what we saw on either TOS or TAS. The only scientific nitpick here is in "Beyond," where the characters regularly experience sound on a ship with no atmosphere (although in fairness, every iteration of Star Trek going back to TOS has abused this). On the whole, Star Trek fans should find Star Trek: Log One reasonably readable and enjoyable, whether they've seen TAS or not. 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Star Trekkin',
By Ronald - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: STAR TREK LOG ONE (Mass Market Paperback)
"Star Trek: Log One" is basically just three episodes from the animated series put down on paper, with around 60 pages devoted to each (give or take). Though if you're like me and never watched the cartoon, then it's like a whole new set of adventures for the Enterprise and her crew (and you can imagine it with the real actors in your mind). The writing is pretty good, all things considered (aside from a number of typographical errors that should have been caught prior to publishing). The problem is that the quality of the episodes themselves is nothing to write home about. I can see them working in a cartoon but they're hardly worth the time and effort to sit and read through. Still, the author did an admirable job with so-so material, and if you're a fan of the original series then you'll probably get some enjoyment out of it in spite of its shortcomings.The episodes included herein are: "Beyond the Farthest Star" "Yesteryear" "One of Our Planets is Missing" |
