First Sentence
Alexander Warren was on his feet as swiftly as if he'd been fired from a photon torpedo tube, practically leaping from behind the prosecutor's table to give emphasis to the objection he had just made. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed reading THE CASE OF THE COLONIST'S CORPSE Sep 6 2008
By Gordon Knight
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was able to Klingon to a copy of Bob Ingersoll's and Tony Isabella's STAR TREK novel, THE CASE OF THE COLONIST'S CORPSE. It is a very well written mystery novel and inspired me to write a courtroom drama of my own, ARTHUR & CLEOPATRA III: THE RING OF TRUTH. The detective work and courtroom drama of the original Perry Mason novels is cleverly recreated in a case in which the leader of a Klingon colony is put on trial for the murder of his human equivalent. However, the structure of the novel does hew to closely to that used in the PERRY MASON TV series, which is why I have dropped a star in this review. All in all, though the novel is a very affectionate tribute to Perry Mason's creator, the late Erle Stanley Gardner, even to the happy ending at the end, which is why I have still given it a four-star rating.

2.0 out of 5 stars What happened to these guys....? May 25 2004
By Joe Mac Guy
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Isabella and Ingersoll once started out as the comic book industry's best writers, but starting about eight years ago, their work gradually went downhill and today they have become little more then internet geeks who spend all their time at a cheap comic book web-site and not much on writing, this book certainly shows large lacks of creativety in them, just taking minor Trek characters who appeared in only one episode, and then trying to make them carry a whole novel with a plot that is full of holes and some very bad dialoge. The result is a very unsatisfying Trek book, and a call for these two to turn in their pencils and paper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not Captivating Mar 9 2004
By B. Everett
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Let us start with a few warnings about this review before I delve into the meat of it. First, I do not read many mysteries. I ended up stopping part way through the book to pick up another novel. I was also expecting different use of more familiar characters.

The first 100 pages were used to develop the characters, the setting, and the motives of the multiple suspects. Once I pushed past my personal preconceived ideas of this book, I was able to enjoy the mystery much better. The mystery developed very well and the reveal satisfied me. All the clues were well placed through out the story and easy to bring to conclusion.

The story was good but the writing seemed simple. I think the need to develop the large ensemble of characters forced the writers to use stereotypes for many of players and a few even seem to be over used. The story telling required for this story was excellent and I think that alone allowed me to drive through to the end.
