4.0 out of 5 stars James Blish retells a trio of classic Star Trek episodes, 22 Nov 2003
By A Customer
James Blish was a science fiction writer who wrote over 27 novels, including "A Case of Conscience" for which he won a Hugo Award and one of the earliest Star Trek novels "Spock Must Die!" He also adapted the original Star Trek novels for a series of Star Trek Readers in the late 1960's and proved himself to be as good at novelization as anybody I have ever come across (is it still a novelization when it is a television episode that is basically turned into a short story?). The details he puts into the stories, without adding anything new to the actual tale, are amazing. Just read the beginning of his version of the classic comic "Star Trek" episode, "The Trouble with Tribbles" where he talks about how the "harmless" little creatures to see what I mean.

This volume also includes Blish's versions of: "The Last Gunfight," where Kirk ignores warnings from the Melkotians and beam down to the planet, where they find themselves about to be on the losing side of the famous gunfight at the OK Corral; "The Doomsday Machine" is one of several "Star Trek" take offs on "Moby Dick," this one involving a giant alien weapon that has just about destroyed the starship "Constellation" and is now coming after the "Enterprise"; "Assignment: Earth" has the "Enterprise" going back to visit Earth in the 1960s to check out the mysterious Gary Seven; "Mirror, Mirror" is the classic episode where Kirk, Uhura, Scott, and McCoy end up in an alternate-universe where the Federation is the evil empire and Spock is wearing a goatee; "Friday's Child" is another encounter with the Klingon, this one involving making sure the pregnant widow of a slain leader on a disputed planet gets to live long enough to give birth; "Amok Time" is another classic (from Theodore Sturgeon) where Spock has to return to Vulcan and get married or he will die. So in Volume 3 you have three classic Star Trek episodes that are on most people's list of Top 10 episodes. Now we just have to get these books reprinted again for the next generation of Trekkers

5.0 out of 5 stars Always the best ever, 27 Sep 2003
Have you ever watched or read a science fiction story better than one of the "STAR TREK" stories? I have not. I really enjoyed reading this book. This is rather an old edition and I have been looking for Episodes 1 and 2 but I can not find them. You have to read this book as well. It is marvelous!!!
