Customer Reviews

One of the best Star Trek books in the numbered series.

As might be expected by anyone familiar with Peter David's later writing, this book, one of his earlier efforts in the Star Trek universe, is one of the best of the series. It is a perfect example of his style, which is very distinctive: high action, high emotional drama, but always told with a tongue-in-cheek wit that keeps the reader from feeling that he takes his stories TOO seriously. Even though it is an early effort, and in some ways his writing matured over the years, I would still rate this not only as one of the best "Trek" stories, (as many of his stories could be said to be) but also one of his best.

A blend of humor and sci-fi

This is one of the best Star Trek novel I have ever read. Not only did it center around Sulu, who rarely gets center stage, but it also provided a lot of back story for his daughter Demora [briefly seen in Star Trek: Generations]. A perfect blend of plot and humor.

Peter David is a Master!

One of the best Trek novels I've ever read -- David fleshes out characters like Demora Sulu and Captain Harriman so well that I'd love to read more about them. David is hands down the best Star Trek writer around today. A must-read.

Captain Sulu, I presume!

Great job on one of my favorite Star Trek characters. One of the few all Sulu books out there and very good on the biographical aspect of the character, especially providing an explaination to all of us Trek fans on how Sulu got a daughter. I hope to see more on the further adventures of Captain Hikaru Sulu.

One of Peter's best!

Peter David knows the characters of the Star Trek worlds better than anyone! This particular story allows us to see a little more deeply into the character of Sulu; his close friendship with Pavel Chekov, the story behind his relationship with Demora's mother, and the deep-rooted commitment to honor on which he has based his Starfleet career. I could NOT put this book down! A must for Star Trek fans
