Product Description
Product Description
Picard and the Enterprise crew are sent to investigate what appears to be the defection of Ambassador Spock to Romulus. Captain Picard and Lt. Cmdr. Data disguise themselves as Romulans and are transported to Romulus. There they discover that Spock is actually attempting the reunification of Vulcan and Romulus, and working with a Romulan underground movement. Picard's Romulan nemesis, Command Sela, reappears and captures the Starfleet officers and the ambassador, all as part of a plan to conquer Vulcan. The three must escape from their Romulan prison and foil the Sela's plans for invasion.

Not bad, not great.
2 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
This is a novelization of a popular "Next Generation" episode, in which Picard and the Enterprise crew interact with Spock. All told, it isn't a bad job of novelization, but it's a little rough around the edges; the author mentions in her introduction that it took her a month to write it; that seems like an awfully short time to throw together a project of this size, and it shows. Still, the plot is interesting, the characters handled reasonably well, and other than a few points where there was obviously an insufficiency of proofreading and copy editing, the writing isn't bad. If you're a fan who enjoys almost any Star Trek book, this one is certainly good enough for you. If, on the other hand, you only bother with the best of the large selection of Star Trek books, this one won't make the grade.

good novilization of a good episode

Format:Paperback
I liked the episode, and when I got the novilization, I was pleasently surprised. Jeri Taylor inserts more great content into an already almost perfect story.

Best Trek Book I've read yet!
29 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
I saw this episode when it came out years ago and my Father bought me the book for my birthday later that same year. Loved both interpretations, but a decade later I couldn't recall much of the story other than that I enjoyed. So I decided to reread the novel and I was very glad that I did!
The plot is exciting and moves along quickly. I could hardly put it down and my pulse was pounding for last 40 pages or so. Picard and Spock are naturals together - even on the written page the chemistry between them was evident. Fans of Tasha Yar will enjoy seeing her daughter as one of the chief nemisis for Picard. Star Trek has often been reflective of our politcal climate and I couldn't help but notice the similarities Vulcan and Romulus had with West & East Germany. (Remember this book was written prior to that unification)
This book takes on the feel of a Star Wars novel the way the author introduces ,develops and weaves new charachters into the plot. At times the Enterprise Crew almost took a backseat to these interesting new comers. The alien lounge singer, the meticulous middle manager, the inflexible bureaucrat, and the success obsessed Star Fleet Junior officer all could just as easily shown up in that famous bar scene in Star Wars. They bring an interesting slant to the story and if you're not careful, they might teach you a little bit about yourself and those around you!
"Star Trek Unification" is a fun, fast and entertaining read and a 'must' for any fan of Next Gen or the original series. Cowboy diplomacy, indeed!
