Product Description

Product Description
THE BURIED AGE unlocks the mysteries of the untold missing years in Captain Jean-Luc Picard's life between the loss of his first command, the USS Stargazer, and the launch of his career as captain of the Enterprise. The book follows his loss of faith and his attempts to find a new direction in life, leading him on a journey that shapes him into the man readers and viewers know him as in STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. At the same time, through Picard's archaeological pursuits, a "buried age" of the Trek universe is unearthed to reveal the prehistory of the galaxy stretching back hundreds of millions of years and an ancient cataclysm that shaped the galaxy as it stands today.

About the Author
Christopher L. Bennett lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he attended University for a B.S. in Physics and a B.A. with high honours in History. Prior to his X-Men endeavours, Bennett focused his love for science fiction into Star Trek novelizations for Simon & Schuster, including Star Trek: Ex Machina and Star Trek S.C.E Aftermath.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most impressive, 11 Mar 2008
By M. R. Munter (Apeldoorn, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amidst what can only be described as a veritable deluge of Star Trek novels lately (and which are divided into so many different series that never existed on TV or the silver screen that it is almost impossible to keep 'Trek' of them all), comes this delightful surprise of a book.

The title 'The Buried Age' has a dual meaning, referring both to a hitherto unexplored period in Picard's life and to a period long ago in galactic history. Both tales, naturally intertwined, are very rewarding and simply incredibly well written. Starting with the loss of the Stargazer and stretching all the way to Picard becoming the captain of the Federation flagship, the Enterprise-D, this book covers 9 years of Picard's life. That is a very rich treat to be sure, as this means that this novel contains almost enough material for *two* smaller novels. And it's all good! (And no, I'm not the author nor do I know him.)

Quite simply a must-read for all Picard fans!

5.0 out of 5 stars A cracking read, 29 May 2009
By Mr. I. Ogilvie "Mr O" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a "Picard" book.
I found this a fantastically entertaining read, set in the preceding years to the Encounter at Farpoint. The book culminates in Picard gathering the TNG characters together and setting off for the rendezvous at Farpoint. The amount the author crams in the previous 400 pages is quite incredible: a court room drama; an intriguing insight into archaeology and interstellar archaeology of the future; space battles; diplomatic negotiations to mention just a few.

A nice "teeing up" exercise is accomplished here establishing the main characters as well as the likes of the Borg (briefly), the Breen, Q, Guinan, the Ferengi, even a young Janeway is in here.

But this is a Picard book, Picard confronting his inner demons at the loss of the Stargazer; Picards relationships with women; Picard disillusioned with Starfleet; Picard and Guinan (particularly intriguing and enjoyable) all of which are negotiated with liberal doses of Shakespearean quotes.

This book has the right combination of science (this is Science Fiction after all), a good storyline and an ability to develop characterization consistent with the characters we all know and love.

Having read a number of Trek books recently I have found all too often that I devour the books - the stories moving at a page-turning romp of a pace, but the author is inconsistent or overindulgent with the characterization, leaving an odd taste in the mouth. (I'm thinking "Resistance" and "Before Dishonour")
This author has ventured into the hallowed ground of Star Trek canon and got it right.
Encore!
