Good Star Trek, Fair Brin,
By
This review is from: Star Trek: The Next Generation: Forgiveness (Paperback)
I'm a fan of David Brin's. I've liked pretty much everything I've read of his, and I've made a concerted effort to read it all. From the early short stories to the broad and sweeping Uplift Series/Uplift Storm, I've liked the worlds he's created. The Uplift everythings, I've read several times. My favorite was his collaboration with Gregory Benford in Heart of the Comet.I saw this with some eagerness, listed both on Brin's website and then subsequently on Amazon.com. I preordered it some time ago and just got it over the weekend. I socked it away in less than an hour. Not a bad story. There were similarities I think with ST:First Contact in the angle of inventor/developer of commonplace future technologies. The characters were well used and as an ensemble piece (which Star Trek usually is) its pretty good. If I had a complaint, which I don't really, it only that Mr. Brin seems somewhat hemmed in when building stories in someone else's universe. I've come to expect him to push the envelope, to develop characters that I really like (Mr. Brin, I'd very much like the phone number of Athaclena...I would not have hesitated, Tymbrini or not...<sm>). Its all there for the average author but I was a little let down. A suggestion if I may...Mr. Brin, now that you've ventured into the world of graphic media, please adapt your other works, the ones that you've done such a wonderful job building and populating. I would love to see Heart or any/all of the Uplift series adapted as graphic novels.

A nice stand alone story that had me rivetted to finish it and to further explore the issues, hopefully, in subsequent editions.
