2.0 out of 5 stars Rather dull, Aug 7 2005
By A Customer
A rather dull conclusion to the first part of the A Time series of books. The story was slow and repeatative and the writing leaves much to be desired. Like A Time to be Born the dialoge is horrible, and sounds nothing like the characters. If you're a hardcore TNGer or you want to read the entire A Time Series then go ahead, other wise avoid the first two novels in this series.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does anyone who liked this book watch Star Trek TNG?, July 5 2004
I can't begin to tell you how shocked I was at the reviews for this book. Not only does the author have trouble representing the characters truthfully (I mean he only has seven years of TV episodes and four movies to study), but the writing was horrendous, just like every other book I've read by this author.

But overall, I was most disappointed with the characterizations. I didn't see the crew I love, which was what I was hoping for. If you want to see a Star Trek crew back in action where the books read so clearly that you can actually see the story as if it were an episode, go get the DS9 relaunch.

I pray that the other authors in this series show me the TNG crew, because this author couldn't find them.

Oh, one last thing: It is not 'witty' or 'inventive' to rehash dialogue directly from episodes or movies.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat Better than Vornholt's previous novel, Jun 19 2004
By John Kwok (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
John Vornholt's "A Time to Die" works better as a work of Star Trek fiction than his earlier "A Time to be Born", since he does a better job fleshing out characters. However, this novel is still replete with serious plot errors and oversights, most notably in its depiction of Wesley Crusher's love affair with Star Fleet Counselor Colleen Cabot. Why they fall for each other is simply glossed over, and Wesley's coming to grips with her tragic demise could have been written in such a way to show some growth in his character. Still, to Vornholt's credit, he has written a somewhat better installment in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much more enjoyable than the first book.
After A Time to Be Born I had rather low expectations for this book, and thankfully they were exceeded. The descriptions are good if not as spectacular as Vornholt can do. Read more
