Customer Reviews

Great Book!

I love this book! I've realized that the older Star Trek books have some amazing story lines, and this is one of the greats! The plot:the bad guy from the "Price of the Phoenix" is back. But, there was a copy of him made, and this copy looks like and, for the most part, acts like Spock. So, Kirk and Spock have to work with him to catch the Spock look-alike to prevent him from killing the real Spock. In the meantime, the second Kirk (created in the "price of the Phoenix") is with the Romulan commander and he goes after the fake Spock as well. In the end, they all meet and decide to take on the bad guys. It's kind of confusing, but when you're reading it, you are able to keep up with it pretty well. The authors have done a great job of making this story (which is pretty far-fetched) very interesting and fast-paced. The only negatives is that, at times, there's too much talking and subtelties going on to keep track of. But, this book is good enough to overcome those problems! Definitely get it!

Definitely NOT what I expected

I bought this book on a whim.I read the synopsis on the book and I decided to get it. I was not sorry! If this book was made into an episode the star trek universe would never be the same again. The things that happen to Kirk and Spock here are incredible and unbelievable. Once you read this book you will never look at Kirk and Spock the same way again.

A dark drama about the death, and life of James T. Kirk

This book definitely is a must-find. At first it is somewhat slow, but it takes time to get in Sondras and Myrnas style of writing this book, and its' prequel, The Price of the Pheonix (which, I recommed reading first). It speeds up about 30 pages in, and never stops fromt there. It is a book unlike many other books. Think of it as a hardcover bestseller book, in paperback format! Read it!
