Product Description

Product Description
A brand new Star Trek concept which introduces Star Trek S.C.E. -- the adventures of the intrepid and talented Starfleet Corps of Engineers. These are the adventures of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers -- the topflight band of technical specialists, some of them human and some exotically alien, who can build, program, fix and figure out just about anything you ask them to, from ships to replicators to doomsday machines. When Captain Picard and the USS Enterprise defeat a gigantic marauding starship from parts unknown, the S.C.E. is called in to probe the vanquished hulk. Captain David Gold and the crew of the S.C.E. ship the USS da Vinci are in search of both new technology and of clues to the origin of the giant ship. Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, on temporary transfer from the Enterprise, is assigned to assist them on their vital reconnaissance mission. Working alongside Gold, his first officer Sonia Gomez, and a top-of-the-line group of engineers to unravel the high-tech mysteries of the supposedly dead alien vessel, Geordi discovers that the real danger has only just begun...Have Tech will Travel collects four linked tales by Keith R.A. DeCandido, Kevin Dilmore, Christie Golden, Dean Wesley Smith and Dayton Ward.

4.0 out of 5 stars A welcome freshness about this new Startrek concept, 27 Feb 2002
For the last few years Startrek has been running on almost empty as far as I was concerned. I did not like the way concepts were spun out through "sequels" and the writing seemed thin and formulaic. But I felt this one was back to the traditions of fresh ideas and strong writing. Different writers for the different sections seemed to maintain the flow and yet there was consistency and development of the characters and their situations. I did not get that awful sinking feeling that technique was showing.
The idea of a small team roving around gives the story writers a lot of flexibility to introduce new situations and there are a few interesting characters to develop. They are enough non humans on the bridge to add extra interest. Thankfully we are not always plunged in yawn-making repetitive fighting with hostile aliens so there is an opportunity to develop the curiosity factor about the unknown and fantastic, not just wargaming. These stories are fresher and more like the very best fanzine/New Worlds in longer development. I am looking forward to more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant start to the series, 15 Sep 2008
By GJ "jongredic" (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
I wasn't sure what to expect from this - I'd somehow got it into my head that because the stories were shorter and being about engineers, that it was more like a comic book or intended for young readers.

However, what I found was the stories still have the same level of maturity as other Trek lit, but with a lot more pace, without sacrificing character development.

Also, with this series not being tied to any particular TV series, there isn't reset button at the end of the story, characters can and do die, and will have a lasting effect through the rest of the books.

The one downside to this book was the opening story - I'm not fond of Dean Wesley Smith's writing (particularly his seeming obsession with the word "hunch"), and the story itself - what was happening, and why - didn't really make much sense overall. Apart from this it set down some pretty good foundations for what promises to be a great series.
