The Enterprise is on a peaceful mission at Starbase 12, and Spock is visiting aboard a Klingon vessel, when a mysterious phenomenon causes the Klingon ship to vanish. Spock's last message from the ship is cryptic, but frightening. It suggests that the Klingons are traveling into the past, hoping to kill one man who was decisive in the course of history, and thereby change it, destroying the Federation before it was born.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Like a gusting silk scarf it's full of metaphors., Mai 29 2003

Par	barbre (Troy, IL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I had a real problem with this novel. The author tries way to hard to make everything a metaphor. Everything is "xyz was like a blah blah blah." It was very distracting from an otherwise boring book.

This is a time travel to change history story. I'm sure everyone has read a dozen. I'd be happy to never read another.

The main problem with this book isn't the plot, the silly metaphor's, or even the slow boring pacing; it's the fact that nothing really happens until the last two chapters. The rest of the book is, in my opinion, just filler to create a novel out of a short story.

Here is my reccomendation, find a Peter David novel instead.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Best Star Trek I've Ever Read- but then it's Hambly!, Mai 14 2003

Par	"bethputnam" (New York, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This is one of the few Star Trek novels that was incredibly true to the spirit of both Roddenberry and the characters, while creating a situation where the reader can experience an old character in a new way. The chance to see Spock without his fear of getting too close to humans while still being intrinsicly himself really added new layers to the character without changing Spock at all. Of course, Barbara Hambly is an amazingly talented writer and almost everything she writes is fabulous in my book.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Surprisingly Good, D�c 4 2002

Par Un client

I have found that the best Star Trek books are the ones that delve into character and not technology and thus are not "Star Trek-like". This is an incredibly clever and moving story about Spock being transported, through a complex series of events, to 1860's Seattle, Washington where he takes up with the characters from "Here Comes the Bride". Sound unlikely? Give it a try and you will be pleasantly surprised. There is even a touching twist at the end of the story.

I also highly recommend "Federation."
