4.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff, Aug 24 2001

By	D. Kuykendal (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: PRICE OF THE PHOENIX (Mass Market Paperback)

First of all, the bad stuff: at times Marshak's and Culbreath's prose is a little dense and difficult to get through. Sometimes I put the book down just to take a break! But on to the parts that got the four stars: this book, unlike many recent Star Trek novels, is rich with emotion, novelty and philosophy. I have to disagree with the reviewer who complained that the authors made Kirk and Spock into "closet lovers": So what if they did? Their relationship comes off as beautiful and touching. And as for "dominating women," that is very in keeping with the wonderful Romulan Commander's character, and I find it--well, silly that a reader would be threatened by that. Anyhow, like I said, sometimes hard to get through, but well worth the effort. I've ordered the sequel, The Fate of the Phoenix, and can't wait to read it!

2.0 out of 5 stars The pits, Mar 20 2002

By	Ana (USS Aegir - A) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PRICE OF THE PHOENIX (Mass Market Paperback)

I've decided that this book is worth two stars... why? Well, I must say that it is the absolute worst of the Star Trek novels I've read. It was difficult to understand and the plot was a bit obscure. Also, it seemed to me that Spock and Kirk were portrayed as homosexuals. I began to wonder whether or not this was a story based on sexual fanasties(as a previous reviewer stated). I did, however like the fact that the character of the Romulan Commander was reintroduced. All in all the book was creative yet poorly written. I will not buy the sequel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Written By True Fans, Mar 19 2002

By	M. L. Julius "ML Julius" (Parsippany, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: PRICE OF THE PHOENIX (Mass Market Paperback)

You can tell that Sondra and Myrna are true fans of Star Trek: TOS. I too prefer the Next Generation to the original, but it's nice to 'visit' with old friends and that's what this book is. A visit with old and dear friends. The sequel is even better.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is why I don't like Star Trek books!
It is bad enough that most of the 79 episodes of Star Trek focused primarily on Kirk and Spock. That is my main #1 beef against the original TV series. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Engaging but too hung-up on psycho-sexual fantasies
I read this when I was a teenager and thought that it was apretty good book. Years later, it doesn't hold up as well from thestandpoint of an adult. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars that which makes love possible...
This is one of the very best of the Star Trek novels - (along with, say, Strangers from the Sky, or Best Destiny) full of action, full of tossed-off references that will delight... Read more
