Product Description

Product Description

As the USS Titan ventures beyond the outermost reaches of known space, the telepaths in her crew - including Diplomatic Officer Deanna Troi - are overwhelmed by an alien cry of distress which leads the crew to a scene of shocking carnage: a civilization of interstellar 'whalers' is preying upon a familiar species of sentient spaceborne giants. Appalled but reluctant to rush to jugdement, Captain William Riker and his crew investigate, discovering a cosmic spawning-ground in a region of active star formation - the perfect ecosystem for a bewildering array of diverse but similarly vast lifeforms. While attempting to negotiate an end to the exploitation and victimization of these creatures, Riker's crew inadvertently hands them the means to defeat their hunters' purpose...only to learn that things are not quite what they seem.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interessting twist, 16 Mar 2006
By A Customer
This is the story of riker becoming a captin and once again exploring unknown space. they meet several facinating species for the first time and some which are more familiar. deanna got a tad annoying occasionally and the crew had to tackle many of their own fears and prejudice along with challenging others misconceptions.The book was imaginative and well written , definately worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Orions Hounds, 8 Nov 2006
This is all about a fairly new crew (and readers) getting to each other and settle into routines. Of course 'trouble' is never far away and Riker seems to know where to find it. Riker is maturing into a geat Captain (we all knew he would be) but there are elements of Picard in there too, although his style is more relaxed then Picard's. If you like Star Trek in general then you will like this, if you are Riker/Troi fan you will really like this series so far.

Not everything is what it seems in space, something that is equally as true on our own planet and in our own real lifes.

I am really enjoying the Titan series maybe because I am a Next Gen Gal and love Riker - but the Titan series are carrying on the great traditions of Star Trek and uphold the Morals created by Gene Roddenberry.

Can't wait for the next installment

3.0 out of 5 stars Back to exploring the galaxy, 14 Jun 2009
By Jimternet "Jim" (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
An improvement on the previous book in the series, I feel, although still fairly average on the scale of Star Trek novels. Many of the aliens encountered are ones that have been met before on the TV series - in fact that's a major part of the plot - and this helps me to picture the events.

Obviously, the Titan series is aiming to be more of a 'back to exploring the galaxy' themed set, but it feels like all the books I've read recently have been of the 'out of touch with starfleet in an area of space completely different to anything we know' style. This can get a little repetative.

Although this one seemed to start slowly, it fitted the traditional three act structure, with the sudden reversal in the second act. My only complaint would be that it took a while to get going, and it wasn't until we got into Act 2 that it started to grip me.

The ending was well thought out and not rushed, and felt real and satisfactory, unlike some trek novels which are wrapped up a little two quickly and neatly. I grew to like some of the new characters during this novel, who seemed better fleshed out and easier to relate to than in the previous two.

Overall, enjoyable, but still backing up my original decision not to read this series, which was scuppered when they became pre-requisits for the Destiny trilogy, which I plan to read shortly.
