Product Description
These beings say that all they want is our worship, and in return for it will provide us with a peaceful galaxy-wide paradise of perfect health and endless pleasure. When the Federation, in the person of Captain Calhoun and the crew of the U.S.S. Excalibur, refused their offer, the resulting battle left Morgan Primus dead and Lieutenant Mark McHenry, whose own powers over time and space had proved to be substantial, in a limbo beyond death.
Now, with a wounded ship and an injured crew, Captain Calhoun, along with Captain Shelby and the crew of the Trident, must face these god-like beings once again, with the fate of galactic civilization at stake.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The only "addition" that is actually healthy!,
By Eric (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Trek: New Frontier: Gods Above (Mass Market Paperback)
And that would be reading as many "Star Trek" related books as possible as well as other sci-fi works! Even though I grew up with the Original Series Star Trek, I also came to love TNG as well and, later, VOYAGER and ENTERPRISE. Being an avid fan of sci-fi in general, however, it would be an injustice on my part not to mention the many other old and new sci-fi works that both led me to Star Trek and which have forever forged my love for all sci-fi works: "Stranger in a Strange Land", "Puppet Masters", "Foundation", "2001", "2010", "Rendezvous with Rama", "Ringworld", all the "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" books, as well as books as new to the genre as "Advent of the Corps" and others.

ST-New Frontier: Gods Above,
By Joe Zika "Khemprof" (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Trek: New Frontier: Gods Above (Mass Market Paperback)
Star Trek-New Frontier: Gods Above written by Peter David is an adventure that takes you on a ride of a lifetime. This book continues where "Being Human" has left off and takes us through an interesting story about The Beings.The Beings are made of energy and can take the shape of Earthlike pseudo-Egyptian-Greco-Roman-Norse-Mesopotamian-Gods i.e. Apollo, Artemis, Thoth, Anubis, Woden, and Hermes just to name a few. The Beings need worship to derive their energy and to get the people to worship them they hand out ambrosia to guarentee continued compliance. This books continues the storyline of Mackenzie Calhoun the captain of the U.S.S. Excalibur along with Captain Elizabeth Shelby for the U.S.S. Trident as they face these god-like beings in a show down. Freedom of thought vs. total compliance and worship of a pseudo-god are what's at stake. This book takes us from the Excalibur to the Trident to the planet Danter as we read on. There are twists and turns As McHenry is in a self-imposed state of stasis and is experiencing out of body experiences. The Danteri run off SiCwan and Kalinda as the Thallonians tried to pose a government with them as the head, only to be rescued by an icon in the Trek universe. This is a well-crafted story with plenty of action-adventure to go around. The beginning of the book is a little slow going as David sets-up the story, but there is plenty of character interaction and interplay to make the story interesting as it begins to take stride. There is a good space battle scene and as space begins to open up things happen. There are scenes in this book that take us back to adventures of Kirk and crew and the original Enterprise. All in all, this was a good, fast and interestingly enjoyable read. I gave it a solid 5 stars and it is worth the purchase price. A point of fact, I have NOT read anything by Peter David that was a dud he is a very intertaining author that writes a well-told story.

Wow great,
By "visnovsky24" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Trek: New Frontier: Gods Above (Mass Market Paperback)
Ok before I start would people please stop giving away spoilers in the book on your reviews. It ruins it for someone who has not yet read it.... now the book along with every other New Frontier book is written by a geniues. Peter David,I cannot seem to stop praising him eachtime I read his works. Read the book and trust me you will love it, especially if you have been following the series closely. Its not the best in the series but its far better then most Star Trek books I have read.
