Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The "Gateways" series is expanding to encompass the entire Star Trek universe, and this third volume, Doors into Chaos, is only distantly linked to the first two, One Small Step and Chainmail. They were both set in Kirk's time, while this story takes place after the film Insurrection. Across the galaxy, the ancient Iconian Gateways have re-activated, allowing instantaneous travel between star systems. Meanwhile, delegations claiming to be Iconians have approached all the major powers, offering to sell their technology. Admiral Ross instructs Captain Picard to put together a fleet of ships from the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Gorn and others and attempt to negotiate. Picard is excited by the idea of actually meeting descendants of the almost-mythical Iconians, but they turn out not to be at all what he expected. Despite the promise of the book's idea, this contribution to the series is very weak, its main problems being far too many characters and a rather poor writing style that stops the story from flowing smoothly. The Enterprise crew is spread across several ships and there are so many new bridge officers and alien ship's captains that it's hard to keep track of them all. There's a big space battle when Picard's fleet encounters the "Iconians", who immediately open fire, but the motivation of the mysterious aliens for firing first is never made clear. However, this story is one piece in a larger picture, and it seems that all the events of the first six books will come together in the final volume, What Lay Beyond. --Elizabeth Sourbut --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A totally enthrawling read which captures the imagination!, 4 Oct 2001
By A Customer
A gripping continuation of the Iconian story which began onboard the Enterprise D some years before this book. The idea of an alien race, extinct for hundreds of years, returning to sell their technology is proposterous to the captain who has studied the Iconian myths and legends for years. His belief of frauds is supported by Star Fleet and the real adventure begins! With space fights and the culmination of all the major races in the Alpha quadrant combating one enemy, its amazing the twists and turns the story takes. With suprises along the way for die hard trekkies and storys containing characters and races from Deep Space 9 and Voyager, its a must read for all who have a place in their heart for Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the new Enterprise NCC-1701-E!
