Product Description
Product Description
Starfleet's most sacred commandment has been violated. Its most honored captain is in disgrace, its most celebrated starship in pieces, and the crew of that ship scattered among the thousand worlds of the Federation...
Thus begins "Prime Directive", an epic tale of the Star Trek universe. Following in the bestselling tradition of "Spock's World" and "The Lost Years", Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens have crafted a thrilling tale of mystery and wonder, a novel that takes the Star Trek characters from the depths of despair into an electrifying new adventure that spans the galaxy.
Journey with Spock, McCoy, and the rest of the former crew of the Starship Enterprise to Talin-- the planet where their careers ended. A world once teeming with life that now lies ruined, its cities turned to ashes, its surface devastated by a radioactive firestorm-- because of their actions. There, they must find out how-- and why-- this tragedy occurred and discover what has become of their captain.

I have yet to find a book by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens that I don't like. They've got it down to an art. I loved the way each member of the crew had their own story in this. All were tied together but they each had to make their own way back to the final regrouping of the whole crew. I have to admit that I read this book and immediately read it again. You always get something new out of a book or a movie the second time around. This was an excellent book and I would recommend it and all of the authors books to everyone.

i normally enjoy anything written by the Reeves-Stevens duo, and again i couldn't put this one down. At last someone gets punished for breaking the Prime Directive. About time! This is a truely ripping yarn that shows the crew written at their best. This is a must for any fan!

Format:Hardcover
Firstly let me admit I am a massive Star Trek fan and so I had a definite advantage knowing all the characters inside out before page one. But even for the novice Science Fiction fan then this is still a great read. The initial situation Kirk finds himself in is believably portrayed and is a sound basis for the plot development. My favourite part relates to the outside interference of the planet Talin and how with only a little stretch of the imagination, it could relate to Earth today.
With the event of The Next Generation, DS9 and Voyager the characters have frayed a little around the edges but still retain their prescence even in written form. I live in the UK and this book was first published in 1991 over here. I have read it no fewer than 4 times in that time and regard it as my top Sci-Fi read and my number 2 read overall (No 1 is Jack Higgins - Storm Warning (Fiction)). Beam Up Scotty and make sure you get the book as well.
