4.0�toiles sur 5 A novel from the "Let's Pick on Spock" school of thinking!, Ao� 18 2001

Par	Mario Pollacchi "Gorgon_Leader" (ARMADALE, Western Australia Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: SPOCK, MESSIAH! (Mass Market Paperback)

Don't get me wrong, I liked the novel (I read it in less than a week). It was a good story and certainly entertaining. The only problem was that, in my mind, it seemed like an alternative version of James Blish's "Spock Must Die" novel. It seems the Star Trek novels of the 1970's just couldn't focus on anyone else but Mr. Spock and/or Captain Kirk. There were other people on board the USS Enterprise. Unfortunately, the book just was not outstanding enough.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Not my idea of a messiah..., Avril 20 2001

Par	Rabbi Yonassan Gershom (Minnesota, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: SPOCK, MESSIAH! (Mass Market Paperback)

This book makes my "Dreck of Trek" list for its absolutely abominable "Messiah" ideas that are based on negative stereotypes of Mohammed and Islam that will make modern Muslims cringe -- yet another "let's make Spock act totally out of character" story. If it wasn't so well-written otherwise, it would get one star. But it does have some interesting characters and twists, so I won't trash it completely. Definitely not a hack novel, but not one that I really enjoyed, either.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Totally Star Trek, but Totally Different, Nov. 19 1999

Par Un client

This review is from: SPOCK, MESSIAH! (Mass Market Paperback)

I read it when it first came out and I wish it were currently in print so I could get my friends to buy copies.

The most significant point that the others have made (IMHO) is simply that it isn't anything like a modern Trek novel.

Star Trek characters are traditionally portrayed as various American-value sterotypes a-la Lensmen novels, and all of the modern novels rely on these stereotypes, as well as familiarity with the characters to avoid spending time on character development.

In this case, the authors captured just enough of that dull style to make the book "feel" like a Star Trek novel, BUT also managed to get in significant character development -- of the kind that will give those hard-core trivia-swapping fans serious nighmares.

Compared to the formula Star Trek novels that the current batch of hack writers regurgitate for monthly publication, SPOCK MESSIAH is a true classic. Read more

One of the best Star Trek novels ever written, particularly superior to most of the "less than stellar" ST novels presently being published.

Spock becomes the God, thereby breaking all his characters usual tenets.
