Product Description
Product Description
Just after the events of "Star Trek Generations," on the planet Veridian III, ambassador Spock comes to the humble cairn, or stones, that marks the grave of James Kirk. But he is not granted time to ponder the passing of his best friend. The Borg and the Romulan Empire have a use for Kirk, and with some mysterious alien science they resurrect the fallen captain, who they hope will give them the edge they need to destroy their greatest enemy, Jean-Luc Picard. It will take the combined powers of both generations, from Spock and McCoy to Data and Riker, to meet this almost unthinkable new threat.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
If you have even a remote interest is Star Trek you will love this. I bought not realising it was part of a trilogy of books and to be honest it is better than the the other two. The plot keeps you entrigued and when you feel that you are getting tierd of it a new twist is introduced. The most intrieging aspect is the Borg/Romulan allience which must be read to be believed. The part Spock plays in book is excellent especially the part about the Borg. If you want to read Avenger you must read this to understand the plot.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Very good, but I don't see why Kirk should be resurrected so many times as if he's invincible. First by the nexus, then by the borg in this book, and then again in Avenger. But it was still a very good book, William Shatner is a very talented writer, and I loved the end at the Borg homeworld. I would love to read some DS9 or Voyager books from him.
Format:Hardcover
A terrible story line...the Borg "joining forces" with the Romulans. The lead character that will not die; Shatner, old boy, let Kirk go!
A rediculous story line but it is well written (Shatner's writers have done well!) Despite the plot holes, it is a good read and isn't that what reading is all about? Entertainment? Yes...yes it is.
I enjoyed reading this story and I would hope others will also. Just don't take it as part of the Star Trek canon and you'll be fine! A great read for all Trek fans!
Definately worth a read!

The Return (Star Trek S.).
I love this book. It is so fantastic. Time just flew by when I read this book. It traveled quite far with me to on a few very long flights and coach journeys. Read more

This is a MUST READ!

Intelligently-constructed slice of Star Trek future history.
This is a cracking read. OK, so it's a Bill Shatner ego trip of the highest magnitude, but I guess we should be able to indulge him by now! Read more

Great, but just who wrote it exactly?!
I was not looking forward to this. A Romulan/Borg alliance? How's that gonna work? Kirk back from the dead? Spock off looking for him? Read more

OK, but very hard to follow at times.
I was really looking forward to reading this book. An alliance between the Romulans and the Borg?! Cool! However it is simply not that good. Read more
