Devil's Heart, in my opinion, is clearly one of the best Star Trek novels written to date! Throughout the book, the reader is taken all over history in delightful and intriguing ways. The author truly captured Picard's spirit and his love for archaeology. This novel has everything a Star Trek fan is looking for in a book, action, intrigue, mythology and a little mystery. The author set's an extremely well thought out plot and puts it in place extraordinarily well. This is one of the few books that I've actually read a couple times. It is easy to immerse yourself in this story. In reference to the audio tape read by Gates McFadden, she truly brings the story alive. I've listened to it countless times on the highway. The only unfortunate thing about the audio tape is that it's abridged. If there's ever a Star Trek book to recommend to somebody, this is the one. If you've not read this one, pick it up in any format you can. Thank you very much to the author for this one. {ssintrepid}
