Product Description
In this golden age, two old friends are drawn together. They seek to understand, and wonder how what they have long believed, what they have been taught, was never so.
Over two hundred years ago, the life of one of Starfleet's earliest pioneers came to a tragic end, and Captain Jonathan Archer, the legendary commander of Earth's first warp-five starship, lost a close friend. Or so it seemed for many years. But with the passage of time, and the declassification of certain crucial files, the truth about that fateful day -- the day that Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker III didn't die -- could finally be revealed.
Why did Starfleet feel it was necessary to rewrite history? And why only now can the truth be told?

Reads like young adult fiction,
By Michael D. (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: The Star Trek: Enterprise: The Good That Men Do (Mass Market Paperback)
I was really looking forward to this book as it promised to reverse some of the poor plot decisions from the Enterprise TV finale in a well thought out and reasonable way. Unfortunately this portion of the text is handled in a handful of pages and then it just jumps into a "lets forget that ever happened" type of style for the rest of the read. Worst of all is the childish writing style which borders between awful fan fiction and young adult literature. I've abandoned this book several times and eventually struggled with impatience and finally got through it for the sake of an opportunity to recycle it. A real step back for Trek books. I am unsure which author is to blame but I've certainly thought twice about picking up any of this pairs other attempts.

Jumps too much.,

Ce commentaire est de: The Star Trek: Enterprise: The Good That Men Do (Mass Market Paperback)
Jumps too much from character to character and fails to catch your attention. I don't care about some dumb Romulan Commander or his lackey, and i don't care but the Andorians. The part with Nog and Jake Sisko was kind of cool for nostalgia sakes but... just get to the point about Commander Tucker! It's difficult to read this without falling asleep.

History is not what you think it is !!,
By TV conoisseur (Canada) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: The Star Trek: Enterprise: The Good That Men Do (Mass Market Paperback)
Like many Enterprise fans the last episode was an exercise in disatisfaction. The show spends 2 years getting Trip and T'Pol together and then kills of Trip. What is that all about? Major kudos then to the excellent writing team of Andy Mangels and Michael Martin for happily rewriting history and showing us that the holodeck programme in "These are the voyages" was way of the mark.
This novel really starts to explore in many ways what was he most compelling question of the enterprise series which was what went into the formation of the Federation. What events were going on behind the scenes and what sacrifices had to be made. The series had started to address these questions before it was cancelled and the book makes a terific job of picking up where the series left of and taking the story further. This book starts of well and doesn't let up. At the end you are eager for the next book. This novel was billed as a relaunch of the enterprise series. Excellent job. Roll on the sequel.
