By K. Young "Moses' Granny" (BC Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: After the Fall (Mass Market Paperback)
the New Frontier Saga continues with Peter David - I think he's the best Star Trek writer out there and I love having this new world to enjoy - with guest appearances by those characters we know and love
read the whole series - and enjoy this one along the way!

2.0 out of 5 stars Peter David has been slipping for years in Star Trek, April 13 2006
By Shane Fitzsimmons "Shane" (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: After the Fall (Mass Market Paperback)
I've been a Peter David fan for about 8 years now, but these last two or three years, Peter David seems to have more or less given up on trying to write anything even approaching good.

Part of this is probably due to the fact that he's one of the most popular Star Trek/Superhero writers in the game, and since he's written at least four Comic Book film novel adaptions combined with his non-Star Trek work, his comics, and then of course his New Frontier series, he's obviously a busy man.

Success however doesn't seem to make him want to write any better.

All of his characters in this book, and for the past several books have been wooden, and most of them feel exactly the same. Peter David has the bad habit of trying to instill an almost Joss Whedon-like sense of humor to his books, by making his characters seem witty, but he fails miserably in the attempt. Most of the time his characters just quibble over meaningless words or argue semantics, and the fact that ALL of his characters do this really makes you feel like he has no sense of characterization whatsoever.

That said, his books aren't filled with typos or awkward sentences. He at least writes CLEARLY, if not WELL.

Also, maybe him writing about super heroes has gotten to him, but all of his Star Trek characters seem to be beyond human, and are capable of things that no real person is. Things like surviving in the vacuum of space for several moments, or having 30 guys come at you in hand-to-hand combat, and his main two protagonists are able to dispatch them all with ease. It's ludicrous.

Anyway, I bought MISSING IN ACTION, the sequel to this book, and I'm more or less done with Peter David at this point. If you want to see a better author who plays around in other people's universes, you should read Matthew Stover's Star Wars books.
