5.0 out of 5 stars Good, Hard SF, Feb 21 2004
By Douglas De Bono - Author of No Safe Harbor (Minnetonka, mn United States) - See all my reviews
This is the way Star Trek the Next Generation should have been written. David Gerrold cuts thru the New Age, wimpy crap that plagues the modern TV series and delivers a book that gives the hard edge a star ship needs on the frontier where the bad guys would rather eat you than talk.

The book opens with the LS-1187 joining a convoy on the Silk Road. Only as soon as they join the ships, the Morthan Solidarity attacks and rips the heart out of the fleet. Commander Korie has mortally wounded captain, an untested crew and a severely damaged ship. On top of that he has the biggest warship in a 100 parsecs stalking him - the Dragon Lord. He performs the near impossible and brings his ship home, only to be sent out again (this time under Captain Hardesty) on a suicide mission.

A great story and fast read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Takes Star Trek style story to the next level, Oct 1 2001
This review is from: VOYAGE OF THE STARWOLF (Mass Market Paperback)
For those of you who don't know, Gerrold is the unoffical co creator of Star Trek The Next Generation. After reading this novel it made me think of how much better the characters might have been had he been writing the Next Generation TV show. All of the characters in this novel take the Star Trek theme to a more realistic level.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great "star-trek" style novel !!!, Oct 2 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: VOYAGE OF THE STARWOLF (Mass Market Paperback)
Gerrold is a master story-teller,this book is great example of "space opera" science-fiction. The story is about a young first officer on is last voyage before taking command of his ship,the book also speaks about the first days of a terrible war,and the struggle of a crew and his captain to engage and destroy an enemy vessel in order to gain a name for their ship. If you like true sci-fi stories and well-built characters you must read this book. Well done David,we hope to read more about Korie and his crew.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was much better then Cats.
Gerrold gives you a "Star Trek" like story line combined with a reasonable (and rather elegant) explanation of how the technology actualy works. Read more
