Spock's past comes to haunt him.
17 Oct 1997
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Mr. Spock, the unshakable Mr. Spock. The Enterprise is on a mission to search a new planet. Spock gets attacked by this 'tree' and is quickly transported to sickbay. Kirk and some other members get stuck on the planet. Scotty is given direct orders to go to a different planet. Spock is sick, yet takes control of the Enterprise. Meanwhile the planet they are racing to is being used as slave labor to collect minerals. Spock has frequent flashbacks to his adventures on Pike's Enterprise. When they reach the planet, it is an old enemy. Spock in his weaken state, accepts a challenge. Dreen, will chase him down, and not hurt the colonists. This is an excellent book, Spock in his weaken position rises to the occasion. I wich there was more to the story, maybe more about Spock. Yet, as Star Trek books go, this is a keeper.

Almost as good as they get.
29 Nov 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is an extremely well-written, extremely interesting story. It was broken down, essentially, into four parts, one of which followed an alien force taking control of a Federation mining colony, one of which followed the Enterprise going to the colony's assistance, one of which followed Kirk and the landing party which had to be abandoned in the rush to aid the colony, and one of which followed former Captain Pike and Deena living on Talos IV. I knocked the rating down to four stars only because the entire section dealing with Pike and Deena was neither especially interesting, nor germane to the story (although it WAS still well-written). Otherwise, the book is virtually flawless.

Very fascinating

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was really rather pleased with this book. The story line with Spock was very intricate and fascinating, especially towards the end where the real action is. Spock, in my mind, was pretty Spock-like.
The Kirk story line was really sort of a tangent. Nothing really happens, other than the fact there's a chapter now and then describing the place they are stuck in. I felt it would have been a better story if the crew were united and Kirk was incapacitated some other way where he wouldn't be able to interfere with Spock's stubbornness.
All in all, it was a pretty good read. Especially the animosity between Spock and his rival.
