Very long, but good book.  Yes, there are many little stories that seem to jump around, but it gives you different perspectives on the whole war.  Some critics don't like this, but I did.  Can't wait til read the second part to find out what happens!

Spock, the Vulcan and the legend. I loved this book so much. It brought together 3 men from our past, and men from the future. Scotty, searching for his old commander, Dr. McCoy, old a frail preaching to Picard. Spock, the uniter, trying to bring more philosophy into the minds of the Romulan people. He gets caught and is sentenced to death. The story unfolds and a surprised Spock is reunited with the one he loves to hate.(Even though a Vulcan would never admit to hating.)

The 3rd book in the "Star Trek: The Fall" series, David Mack's "A Ceremony of Losses" may in fact be the best book of the series so far & while solving one long standing crisis changes 1 character's direction forever. The book itself is primarily centered on Dr. Bashir who is contacted by Thrishar ch'Thane who has been working with Professor zh'Thiin on Andor to solve the Andorian genetic crisis which could be solved by using the Shedai Meta-Genome provided to them by the Tholians. It is this cry for help in the dark that causes a crisis for Dr. Bashir as he faces a choice of loyalty to the Federation because of the sensitivity of the information or the Hippocratic oath to save the Andorians from extinction. Bashir with the help of Sarina Douglas chooses the later & with the help of Section 31 gains the information & the race is on against both the Federation, the Typhon Pact & his own crew members.

Mack writes a flawless book full of drama, intrigue & conflict both internal & beyond which shows the volatility of this particular period for the Federation & just how bad things have gotten on Andor. The use of the DS9 crew as well as the Aventine works perfectly in this light as Bashir goes to major lengths to not only solve the crisis on Andor but also to deliver an eventual cure. The insight into Andorian politics is a nice touch along with the brief re-introduction of some characters we haven't seen in a while. The continued machinations & manipulations also of the interim Federation President are also a nice touch as this complex period continues to unfold.

Overall, this is a must read of book from start to finish as it will keep you guessing up to the end with an ending that while being half expected comes at the price of Dr. Bashir's freedom. Where any of this goes next is anyone's guess, but 3/5 of the way through "The Fall" & this reader anxiously awaits not only the next book in this series, but also whatever fall out this will have in the future on the DS9 characters & beyond.

This is great book that shows what is going on with the personnel and planets that have been touched by the Admiral.  It also shows how far the different teams have come, and can go on there own.  I recommend it.

Loved this book! It provided answers for many of the questions about season 5 such as what caused Janeway's behavior in "NIGHT"and B"Elanna's in "Extreme Risk". Although the Captain wasn't awake during much of the book, everyone else had a lot of great scenes, especially Tom, Harry and Doc. We also found out what was up with Kes in "Fury". I read it twice!

Leo Blake was called back to Naval duty. He learned the earth was building its first star ship. The Kher returned to recruit more people to fight the Imperials as well as regain the first crew that had fought in the war before..

The Kher was shocked when the Imperials returned and attacked them. This was a surprise since they usually waited 1000 years between battles. Thus, they had to gather those who served before and acquire more humans to join the fight for survival.

A further problem was the presence of an extremely large ship called the Hunter. It had AI directing it. The Imperials seemed to have control of it.

There are many battles,big and small, rank contests, and my h more to learn. Enjoyable reading can be yours!

There is a lot of action, suspense, and some seriously complicated relationships are explained in-depth.  I enjoyed it, but not as much as the first book.  Several charachters are brought in that were not in the last book, even Thomas Riker(if you remember that transported accident in which Riker was duplicated) which adds quite an interresting plot.  There were still a few questions which I don't think were answered well enough but the book contains betrayal, romulans....and I thought of writing more but don't want to ruin the reading experience of discovering it for yourself.

This story is a sequel to the episode,"All of Yesterday's".
This book was the best! The characters are believable and weave into the storyline excellently. The character of Zar(Spock's son)was handled well. The conflicts between a father and son are written well. The plot and storyline is seemless from beginning to end. Spock, McCoy, and Kirk go back in time via the Guardian of Forever to the planet Sarpeidon to find Spock's son, and bring him to the Present. Also, later, the Romulans capture the Guardian of Forever, not knowing its a time portal. They think its a secret Starfleet base. Zar then helps Kirk and the Enterprise stop the Romulans headed by Sub-Commander Tal ("Enterprise Incident").
This book must be on your list as a must-read for Star Trek books! Check out the sequel, "Time for Yesterday" by A.C. Crispin
Read on!

This book was a great narrative of Starfleet, and Federation history. It was so well written that I cheered when the Romulans where defeated in "The Great Romulan War." It was great to see how the Articles of the Federation reflected on US Constitution and how "American society" influenced Star Trek over the years. Great buy, and it looks great on my mantle!

This was a wonderful book.  It had a good plot and good characteriazation.  The crews of both the old and new interacted well.  I really enjoyed the interaction betwwen Dr. Bashir (DS9) and Dr. McCoy.  The Romulan Bord Alliance was hard for me to picture....but as I read the book I realzed that Mr Shatner did a wonderful job.  It also stuck true to the Star Trek Universe.....MUST READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

Even if you are not a "Babylon 5" movie & series fan; this Minbari Federation Fact Book contains so much data for anyone that enjoys SCI-FI movies & series to just "get into" the Babylon 5 story!  I was able to obtain so much more information about the Minbari Race, including "cool stuff" about the various Minbari Warships & their weapons.  If you are a loyal Babylon 5 fan then, this book is a "need to read" book and you should purchase it!  The author, August Hahn, is superb writer that really conveys the Minbari Race by not only writing about the history of this ancient race but, also about things like their warship improvements which include better types of weapons, such as the White Star's four Molecular Pulsars (with their ability to go in a "rapid fire" mode & their Improved Neutron Lasers.  There is also a breakdown of the Minbari's most powerful warship, the Sharlin War Cruiser!  This book also covers the various skills that the Minbari Warriors have which enable them to overpower their enemy, such as their telepathic abilities!  All in all, this is a great book to read and enjoy!

Vir Cotto, Hero!  Vir Cotto, Emperor!  Of course, Babylon V fans knew that Vir would become Emperor after Londo.  We also knew that G'Kar would kill Londo and that the capital city of Centauri Prime would be in flames.  We also knew that Sheridan would be in time limbo.  However, this book, which covers the years 2274-2278 tells us how we got to that point.

The Centauri, under the malevolent guidence of the Drakh, have been building their war machine and are just about ready to strike.  Vir has been leading an underground that has cause minor irritation to the plans of Durla, and ultimately, the Drakh, but it didn't put an end to them.  That is until Durla was at the final moment of triumph when the underground attacked Durla in his position of strength.

However, getting there, what was the trick.  Along the way, there was intrigue, betrayal, and love both won and lost.  This was a wonderful storyline, completely consistant with what we already knew about the Babylon V timeline.  In fact, this novel fills in a lot of holes that were left in the series, especially considering that this covers the future from the perspective of the Babylon TV series, a future that we got only a glimpse of through prophecy and time distortions.

For the Babylon V fan, this entire trilogy is a must read.  I will definately be reading some more Babylon V books, hoping they are as good as this series has been.

A wonderful conclusion to Books 1 & 2 adventure with the crew of the podship "Pioneer 4" from their castaway trials and tribulations from the Tauron Ambush; and, their subsequent survival on the benighted planet of the Thilen Nine System. Answers are given to a lot of the eluded plots set up in this novel's prequels, and The System society is further explained as well as the role of the Echelon. Nicraan and Retho's relationship blooms while Moela discovers a new love as Dara and Capel draw closer as everyone mourns the loss of Lunon on a journey "home". A great read for any science fiction adventurer who has a few heart-strings to tug on!

In Charlie X, one of the two episdoes on this DVD, puberty and other "forbidden" social issues are explored and discussed. Nature vs. Nuture is a largely posed question - role models and thier importance  another. (Big notice: Uhura sings in this episdoe, worth the price  alone! )
The second episode, Balance of Terror, the Federation is  finally "tainted" with an enemy. The Romulan Empire, while never  really explored again until TNG, plants a very powerul seed of dread and  "terror".
Both episdoes are very entertaining, and enjoyable.  A fun addition to any collection.

For we fans who have waited PATIENTLY for this day, it has FINALLY arrived! The longest-running sci-fi series in the WORLD is back in print...IN ENGLISH!
Fan Pro picked a great point in the PR story arc to re-introduce PR to a new generation of readers.
The story reminds me a bit of Harlan Ellison's 'Phoenix without Ashes', the novel that the 1973 TV series 'The Starlost' was loosely based.
The crew of a mining ship is surrepticiously transporting the leader of the Solar Imperium, Perry Rhodan, into the territory of the Akons, in hopes of forging new alliances. They discover a generation ship launched over 10,000 years ago, traveling with a 'cloak', only after one of the mothership's mining pods disappears. What they find on-board is only the beginning of this small saga within the grand scheme of the Rhodan Universe, now at 2422 (Jan 2008) issues and going strong!
The translator did a fanatastic job porting it from the native German and the editors earned their pay.
PLEASE DON'T STOP!!!

A fabulous look at the series from the Cylon point of view, emphasizing the beginning of the series and taking us through the character progressions, especially that of John/One. This movie provides some insights into various Cylons as well as information the series didn't show regarding the destruction of Caprica, the movements of the undercover Cylons in the fleet, and the fates of several key Cylons. This movie is critical for lovers of the show, but warning to those who get it: watch it AFTER you see the entire show, as it will contain spoilers!
