4.0 out of 5 stars A varied, but fun, collection of stories, Nov 3 2009

By	A. Volk (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I suppose I should start by saying that while I enjoyed many of the Star Trek (and its variants) shows, I'm hardly a Trekkie. I bought this book from a bargain bin, so I didn't have any great expectations for it. I'm generally leery of books based on TV shows or movies, but this book was a pleasant surprise. It's a collection of short stories from The Captain's Table, a bar that travels through time and space, whose sole function seems to be to provide drinks to any ship's captain in return for a story. The details don't make sense, but then again, this is Star Trek, so I didn't strain myself too hard worrying about that. The individual stories are:

Jonathan Archer of the Starship Enterprise, as told by Louisa Swann: this was easily my least favorite. It's a James Bond rip-off staring a clone of his beagle. Yes, the beagle was supposed to be James Bond. I'm not kidding. If it was meant to be humor, it failed. If it was meant to be serious, it failed at that too.

Chakotay of the U.S.S. Voyager, as told by Christie Golden: I quite liked this story. It was about a teenager's dilemma in following in his father's traditional footsteps, or breaking out on his own. A tired cliche, but nicely told.

David Gold of the U.S.S. da Vinci, as told by John J. Ordover: Was almost an Aesop's fable tale of revenge. An officer is murdered in a gambling den, only to be brought back from death by a timely transport to a medical facility. He seeks out revenge on his three killers, but all have changed over time (in different ways). Is justice blind, or should one consider context and the possibility of change? I quite liked this story.

Kira Nerys of Deep Space 9, as told by Heather Jarman: This was a little sappy, but OK story about a mission for the Bejoran underground. She meets her estranged brother, who abandoned the rebel cause, and the question becomes whether or not he has reformed himself, or whether he'll sell her out.

Klag, son of M'Raq, of the I.K.S. Gorkon, as told by Keith R.A. DeCandido: The story of two sons who didn't listen to their father and thought too highly of themselves. Pretty lame. I was really hoping for more action from a Klingon story.

Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Stargazer, as told by Michael Jan Friedman: This story starts off well, but the ending is so ludicrously coincidental that it wrecked it. Picard has retired, his shuttle develops problems, and gets attacked by pirates. He lands at a world where he tries to help the natives hold off the pirates until Starfleet reinforcements can come to their rescue.

William T. Riker of the U.S.S. Titan, as told by Michael A. Martin & Andy Mangels: This is a fun, if silly at times, story of Riker and Dianna Troy's honeymoon. It's a 25th (?) century version of a pirate story that is amusingly written, even if the plot has more holes than Swiss cheese.

Elizabeth Shelby of the U.S.S. Trident, as told by Peter David: Lame. Angst. Not very good. Just like Shelby in the ST:TNG.

Demora Sulu of the U.S.S. Enterprise-B, as told by David R. George III: The choice between duty to Starfleet and duty to an estranged grandmother who's dying. Interesting, but very cliche.

So there you have it. Some of the stories were really fun, some stank, but overall it was a pleasant distraction. I certainly wouldn't call this a great collection, but it does make a pleasant diversion for an afternoon.
