Product Description
Product Description
The disappearance of Andorian scientific genius Muav Haslev fuels tensions between the Orions and Andorians -- tensions that come dangerously close to full scale war. Captain Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are called to Starbase Sigma 1, located on the edge of Andorian-Orion space, to patrol the sector as a deterrent to hostilities. On arrival, the crew encounters an inexplicable series of events, beginning with missing equipment and shipboard malfunctions. After a deadly transporter accident, Kirk suspects sabotage -- suspicions that are confirmed by the mysterious murders of three Federation officials. Now, Kirk and crew must put together the fragmented pieces of the puzzle, before the Starship Enterprise faces destruction and the galaxy faces interplanetary war.

Star Trek: Death Count
24 July 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Star Trek: Death Count is a book written about the original series by L.A. Graf. The book is a refreshing departure from the main three characters, (Kirk, Spock, McCoy), and with the main focus on Chekov along with Sulu and Uhura.
Graf works in intrigue, mystery and conflict into this book while Kirk, Spock and McCoy are shifted to the background. Chekov gets beaten up left to die but somehow maintains a workable solution to the hostilities. Andorian-Orion tensions rise and the Enterprise is sent to Sigma 1 to maintain peace. But, Chekov being the head of security, is the primary character in this novel and his character is called upon to shine in this book.
The Enterprise encounters malfunctions and missing equipment. There is a deadly transporter accident. A missing Andorian genius Mulav Haslev... sabotage, murders of Federation officials and suspicions begin to mount to a fever pitch as interplanetary war is coming closer to reality.
This book keeps your attention glued as the interplay of the characters are well thought out. With the outcome in doubt till the end, the reader is treated to a story told well as the crew of the Enterprise put the pieces of the puzzle together. As the author writes this adventure, the reader is given clues, but with the twists and turns, the reader gets an adventure that is captivating. Any time you have the Orions involved deciet is not very far behind, so, with this interplay with the Andorians the backdrop is set and the adventure begins.
With a saboteur loose on the Enterprise making this mystery-adventure both fascinating and substantial through the eyes of the characters who are not necessarily the main characters. This is an enjoyable story and a fast read

Another enjoyable story from my favourite Trek authors
3 Aug 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Out of all the Star Trek authors it is the L A Graf team that I enjoy reading the most. There are 2 reasons for this; 1)the high level of action in most of their books, 2)the focus on Chekov, Sulu and Uhura and the friendship between the three and their relationship with the senior officers (Kirk etc). I have enjoyed all of L A Graf's novels and this one is probably my favourite as it has heaps of drama and action and a pretty good plot. I certainly think the authors books are not to all Trek fans taste as they don't fous on the three traditional leads and many fans may see this as off-putting, however, I love the use and development of these characters and am always looking for new books to explore the experiences of the three junior officers.
Death Count is action heavy as mentioned with a fast-paced plot and some nasty moments for Chekov, who always does get into all sorts of mishaps in the novels. The authors obviously like putting Chekov in these dangerous situations and seeing how the stoic Russian comes through (always heroically but with a lot of angst along the way). Bring 'em on guys!

One Of The Best I've Read
6 Aug 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is, without a doubt one of the best TOS books I have read in ages. My favorite thing about L.A. Graf's novels is the focus on Chekov, Sulu and Uhura, instead of Kirk, Spock and McCoy for a change. It has a great storyline, the characterisations are well done, and the touches of humor were excellent.
One thing though, why do they feel the need to beat Chekov up in all their books? C'mon guys, give the poor guy a break!
