Excellent! A Star Trek Must Read!, Aug 10 2003
By Russell L. Winkler "Russ" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Web of the Romulans (Mass Market Paperback)
The timeline for this story is immediately after the original series Star Trek episode, "Tomorrow Is Yesterday". This is where the computer has been reprogrammed to be seductive and affectionate -especially towards Kirk(of course)!The characters -Romulan and Enterprise, are handled competently.
Some guest appearances:
Yeoman Janice Rand (not a love interest here!)
Ensign Garrovick (from "Obsession")
Lt. Kyle (Transporter Chief)
The plot is fascinating(as Spock would say) and unfolds excellently. The writing is professional and stays right on in the ST Universe. The plot is similar to the ST movie: "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country", but here the Romulans face a disaster. Kirk and McCoy are not captured here either.
If you have to choose a few original ST books to read then choose this one amongst the others.
Read on...

An excellent story., July 28 2000
By James Yanni - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Web of the Romulans (Mass Market Paperback)
This is by far the best of the numbered series of Star Trek novels up to the point at which it was written, with the possible exception of #7, "The Wrath Of Khan". The characters are handled competently, the plot is interesting, and the writing is fluent, professional, and lively.There is a certain similarity between the plot of this story, and the plot of "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country", but that is no fault of this story, since it predates the other. There is also a certain similarity between its plot and that of "Dr. Strangelove", although this is not a comedy. This story is set in the time immediately after the original series Star Trek episode, "Tomorrow Is Yesterday"; the computer has not yet been reprogrammed, and is still overly affectionate toward Kirk.
If you enjoy Star Trek: the original series, you should definitely read this book; it is one of the better books in the Star Trek series. Even if you aren't a big fan, but are only lukewarm toward Star Trek, you should give this book a try.

another fun and exciting trek story, Sep 14 2006
By Matthew Schiariti - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Web of Romulans (Paperback)
mix some of the best characters in science fiction with an author who KNOWS how to write then and what do you get? A fantastic star trek book.this books reads like a great, classic star trek episode. Character interaction, a seemingly impossible situation, interesting subplots..everything a fan of star trek likes about the show is in this book..
And the villains...a book like this is usually only as good as its villains and I found the romulans' depiction quite...fascinating, as spock would say. And the villains aren't all romulan either ;)
with lots of tense moments, great dialogue, good character intereraction , a large plot with possibly disastrous repercussions, AND some nice nods and tie ins to several of the original series episodes, and you have a great read on your hands.
highly recommended.
Listmania!
