Product Description

STARFLEET CORPS OF ENGINEERS

Their motto: Have tech, will travel

Need to build a subspace accelerator while under attack by a deadly local predator? Need to rescue a starship from interphase without getting trapped there yourself? Call in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers team, specifically the crack team from the U.S.S. da Vinci. Under the guidance of Captain David Gold and his first officer, former Starship Enterprise™ engineer Commander Sonya Gomez, the crew of the da Vinci can construct six impossible things before breakfast.

Overseen by Captain Montgomery Scott from his office at Starfleet Headquarters, the S.C.E. crew put their lives on the line to rescue a space station from catastrophe, and face off against a deadly alien race of technology thieves with the aid of Lieutenant Nog from Space Station Deep Space 9 ™.

MIRACLE WORKERS, SCE #2 contains the complete eBook editions of S.C.E. adventures #5-8.

I ordered this item on 1st December in the hope of delivery by Christmas. My Amazon orders page always showed delivery could be by Christmas so I was hopeful, but that it could take up to 1st January. In fact it did not arrive until 5 days after 1st January. I had understood that this book was coming from America thus the long time given for delivery. It may have done, but the envelope TNT postmark was an address in Guildford Surrey, & the invoice inside said returns to Cheltenham Glos. I chose that particular seller as the description said very good if I remember rightly or could have been excellent, & I paid a bit more & more postage because of it. In fact it is tattier than expected & the order was a bit of a disappointment all round. I'll now keep it for my son's birthday instead of Christmas!

Book one ends on a cliffhanger, and this picks up straight away. Although the story concerns the USS Defiant (later shown in Enteprise to be in the Mirror Universe), the door is left open to tie that back into canon. Which is a testament to how good the writing in this book is.

The book continues to evolve and deepen the characters, without revealing all their secrets in one go. And the way the relationships are handled is quite good, as with each new story, a little bit more is thrown into the mix - akin to the development shown on DS9 when it took on a more serial feel.

All the stories in this collection are good, with a story filling in the gap between Avatar and Abyss in the DS9 relaunch, and an extra long story devoted to Sonya Gomez, interestingly from a first person/log entry perspective.

Excellent continuation of the series.

The second compilation of the Star Trek: S.C.E. (Starfleet Corps of Engineers) e-books, called Miracle Workers, collects books 5-8 of the continuing series, and they continue the stellar work that Keith R.A. DeCandido has done editing the series as well as great work from the authors. While I read mine in an e-book version, this is also available in paperback. As the series begins to move forward, we find out even more about some of characters, as well as getting some exciting action as well.

In fact, Miracle Workers demonstrates even further that you can get a bunch of Starfleet engineers together and tell interesting stories with them without all of the technobabble Trek is known for. Sure, there's always going to be some, but no more so than any other Trek book. Instead, we have stories such as First Officer Sonya Gomez going through a huge trial by fire that will change her life, or a straight adventure story about salvaging a space station while dealing with a scavenger race that will gladly kill anybody who gets in their way. The writing is excellent, and the stories are only getting better and better. Let's hope that continues to be the case as I move on to the next compilation.

Yes, there are a couple of weaknesses ("Cold Fusion" has a couple of problems as well as being very straightforward compared to the books around it, for example), but overall this is a strong compilation. The writing is uniformly excellent (of course, it's full of some Trek staples, though this was actually David Mack's first prose fiction) and the characters are a lot of fun to read about. Don't let the "engineer" part fool you; this series is about the characters, and they're well-done characters too. Give it a try.
