Product Description

Product Description

From award-winning science fiction writer S.P. Somtow comes Captain Picard's mos challenging dilemma: should he kill an innocent child to save a billion others? The inhabitants of Thanet believe that once every five thousand years the Death-Bringer destroys their world in a torrent of fire in order to herald a new cycle of creation -- and the eve of destruction is almost upon them. Billions will die. To Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise, the Death-Bringer appears to be nothing more than a rogue comet, and one that could easily be destroyed. But Picard's position is challenged when his Counsellor, the empath Deanna Troi, discovers that the comet is alive...

2.0 out of 5 stars OK sci-fi but not really a Star Trek novel, 31 Dec 2003
By Mr. M. Randall (Wakefield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book reads like an interesting concept for a sci-fi novel, but it feels more like an idea that has had the Star Trek element shoe-horned into the plot and as such it does not seem to fit easily. The crew members are by-standers for the most part of plot. Picard reads reports, Data acts as a relay device and Deanna as a telepathic relay device. Geordi, Worf and Riker are hardly mentioned at all. There is little suspense in the plot, the pacing is clumsy and the ending of the story leaves you feeling cheated out of what could have been.

1.0 out of 5 stars Slow, cliche, Trek at its worst, 7 Dec 2003
I was hoping for a good read when the latest Next Generation book standalone came along, considering how well the DS9 stories have been recently, but was throughly disappointed and bored to tears by this drivel! It doesn't even feel like I'm reading a story in the Star Trek universe. Half way through I realised it was taking all my will power just to continue reading, and in boredom and frustration jumped to the end, so eager was I to get the story finished, and it ends just as predictably as I'd feared. Avoid!
