5.0étoiles sur 5 Calling it a good Star Trek novel...., Mai 19 2004
This review is from: The Final Reflection (Mass Market Paperback)
Does this book an injustice. It is an excellent novel in it's own right, and would stand alone as a superior work without the extended Trek universe to support it. I stopped reading Trek novels years ago when it became apparent that they all pretty much followed the same formula. One in which the author used the story to insert themself into the Trek universe. This work is nothing like that.
Apparent from reading the book is that it was the source of much Next Generation Klingon lore (houses,lines, a quasi-feudal society, a "privateer" style military) and many plot lines. (Worf's dead or dishonored line, Worf being the son of a Klingon commander, killed by a Romulan massacre, he and his brother's adoptions, the character of General Martok.) John M. Ford's name should have been listed somewhere in the series' credits for creative contributions.
If Paramount ever decides to take another trip to the Well of Trek, this book should be the vehicle for that series.

Exciting, captivating, and just hard to put down. It is a rousing good tale true to the Horatio Hornblower, Jack Aubrey mold.
John M. Ford wrote this book in 1984 I think. What I find particulary interesting is that some of the Klingon ship's systems he describes, are now actually used in modern weapons systems like the AH-64 Apache Longbow and the M1A2 Abrams tank.
In the last 20 years I've kept only one Trek novel---The Final Reflection.

This review is from: The Final Reflection (Mass Market Paperback)
Herein lies the answers to the mystery surrounding the transformation of the Klingons from the originial series version to the version presented in Star Trek The Motion Picture and everything that followed.

An excellent story, pre-dating the original series by a generation, It provides both adventure and intrigue by following the life of a Klingon warrior - Captain Krenn.

Most importantly,it provides great insights into the Klingon culture as the author adds tremendous depth and character to the Klingons. "Kai!" Mr. Ford and thank you for your clever explanation/transformation and for setting the Klingons on the path to becoming the colorful, formidable characters that they are today!

5.0étoiles sur 5 A must-read read, must-have book!!, Déc 3 2003
Par Russell L. Winkler "Russ" (Bethesda, MD USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: The Final Reflection (Mass Market Paperback)
As you can see from the other reviews, this is an excellent book from beginning to end. If your a Klingon fan, then this a must-read, must-have book. Klingons aren't the scum as protrayed in earlier books, because we get a detailed look of Klingon culture. The story focuses on a Klingon from as a boy to an adult as captain of a Klingon ship, and to his eventual confrontation with humans.

Read this book and own it. It's a classic!

Russ

5.0étoiles sur 5 superior Trek
