Product Description
Product Description
Jonathan Archer may go down in Federation history a hero, but right now the captain considers himself a failure. Right under his nose the Romulans attacked and destroyed a helpless human cargo ship, the Kobayshi Maru, and there was nothing Archer could do the save the Maru without losing every member of the crew, and his ship. The captain knows that the Romulans are done testing the waters, they have perfected a way of remotely controlling Coalition ships and using them as weapons against each other, thus succeeding in driving a wedge of suspicion and mistrust between these new allies. The Romulans now are going to strike at what they see as the heart of their problem, Earth. Can the fragile Coalition of Planets hold up to an all out war?

I recently was gifted a Kindle as a present and thought I would start my Kindle collection with Star Trek books. Being a long time fan of Enterprise, I jumped straight into The Romulan war without purchasing Kobayshi Maru first. Reading this isn't required but would have probably helped as many elements from Kobayshi spill into the opening of this book. A lot of the reviews for this book have focused on the "hap hazard" nature of the writing, personally I like the jumping back and forward as you breeze through chapters as it keeps you on your toes.
Pros - After 4 seasons on Tv, Hoshi and Mayweather get more depth in this book than
they ever did. There is action scenes, which are short and sweet but personally
I think writing about epic space battles will never compare to seeing them on
screen. Archer for once is a little broken and wounded, and not the archetypal
"John Wayne" in Space" that was often portrayed - the character is better for
it. Soval, Trip and T'pol are also well handled.
Cons- Not enough given to the goings on at the Romulan end of things, quick few
pages that give very little away about Valdore, D'derix or the usual plottings
and assassinations. Sags in the middle with the newscaster stories.
All being said it's a good read, a little too much going on for it's own good. But in the end gets to where it needs to be. Faithful to the show and the characters.

I have often wondered how the television series Enterprise would have played out if a fifth or even sixth series had been been made. The Romulan War - Beneath the Raptors Wing, the two proceeding books The Good That Men Do and Kobayashi Maru and the final book following The Romulan War - To Brave The Storm all answer this question. I have been an avid reader of novels for the last 20 years. I was reluctant prior to purchasing the four books to buy a book which is based on a T.V. series, as this was something I had not done before thinking I might be disppointed. However my curiosity got the better of me and I purchased this book, plus the other 3 books in the series. I was not disappointed. For me this book and its companions are a good read. If you want to find out what happens to Archer, T'Pol and Trip plus the other T.V. series characters, then these books are for you.

It's good but not excellent !
I enjoyed the read and renewed my interest in the Enterprise voyages but for some reason the story plot seemed for me just a bit to spread out .
The book is very well written and the plots are excellent but after finishing the book i realised that perhaps the story line was just to drawn out , it's a good read for all you Star Trek fans and this book will sell in large numbers .
