Product Description

Illogical! The teachings of Surak emphasise the sacredness of life. Must they be abandoned when the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? T'Pol is forced to confront this dilemma: take a life to save her crewmates, or stay true to her Vulcan nature...From the successful new Star Trek franchise comes the story of its most popular character - the brilliant Vulcan science officer T'Pol. Pulled, once again, into one of Captain Jonathan Archer's headlong rushes for first contact, Sub-commander T'Pol believes her life -- and those of her colleagues -- is threatened. Instinctively she reacts, draws her phaser and kills. A simple act of self-defence. Or was it? As a Vulcan, an alien race under the strictest of self-imposed philosophical regimes, has T'Pol committed the ultimate act of self-betrayal? Has she forsaken the nonviolent teachings of Surak?

First Sentence
JONATHAN ARCHER SAT in his command chair on the bridge of Enterprise and stared at the image of the Minshara-class planet on the main view-screen before him: the larger-than-Earth globe, blue-speckled with large verdant islands rather than continents, rotated lazily. Read the first page

1.0 out of 5 stars Typical of the Series, Sep 28 2003
By A Customer
One of the problems with Enterprise is the accusation it ignores establised canon. The premise of this story: if Vulcans kill does it betray the teachings of Surak has already been addressed in The Original Series by Spock.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sadly predictable, July 17 2003
By Deena C. Mckinney (Waynesboro, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was quite disappointed with this book, as most of Dillard's other Star Trek novels have been excellent. This one was sadly predictable; neither the dialogue nor the narrative sustained my interest for long. I gave it two stars because she does some good work with a few of the characters, but overall, this is not a book I can recommend.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring novel, Jun 19 2003
By Bill Williams (Clinton, MS USA) - See all my reviews
This book was really dull, in my opinion, like many of the Enterprise episodes that have aired thus far. The only unique hook is T'Pol referencing Gandhi's stance on non-violence. Other than that, this book is a slim adventure typical of many of the troubled episodes we've seen on TV the last two years. This one's strictly for the completists.
