Star Trek with a edge!

I really enjoyed this book which is very similiar in style to the authors earlier Star Trek work (for Bantam book). The character interplay between Kirk and Spock is fascinating reading (and reminds me of some of the better fan fiction written during the 1970s). The plot, which revolves around a new mind state of being, truly makes one wonder (something that the better epsiodes of the classic series did). I really think that this book belongs in the collection of any Star Trek Kirk/Spock fan.

I loved every page.

The interactions in "Triangle" are marvelous. As another reviewer said an amazing amount of character depth was created over a very short span. I guess people who insist that Spock be a totem pole will not care for the story, but I like seeing him unfold a little. It made him fresher and newer for me. Ok the story does not race along quite as fast as other Star Trek novels. Some readers might not like that, but I didn't mind at all.

Wish Marshak and Culbreath were writing Trek again...

Triangle is one of the better Trek novels that was published back in 1983. While not the most exciting; it has a lot of suspense in this paticular story. I'd reccomend it to anyone who is a Kirk, Spock and McCoy fan of the orginal series. The characters speak as they would in the show. The dialogue is very much like the movies and TV. Especially McCoy telling Kirk and Spock to put the diplomats in the brig.I find myself reading the old Kirk, Spock and McCoy novels of the eighties. They are much better written than the new ones on the stands.

A great ST novel the STphiles will whine about

This is a simply wonderful story, but STphiles might cry that the authors allowed character growth. Isn't that horrid? Actually having a character exceed the cardboard limitations set upon them by the original series? Spock's human side gets a workout in this one, and for those who can get past STphile's obsession with his stoicism it's done marvelously well. Such depth in such a short novel is surprising, especially in a series not known for character development, but that's good. Very good."Love" is handled the way it is in reality. Instinctively. The author's intelligently did not set it to some inane analytical standard. For those with blinders on, here's a reminder; Spock is still half human. If I have a problem with Spock's emotions it's this; too many of the ST novels have shown Spock in such an emotional state. In each of them his actions are explained away as the lone exception to his normal behavior. Unfortunately, it's happened so often that it's more a standard than an exception. Mr. Spock acting very unSpockish is no longer shock, for me. It borders on trite. Of course, "Triangle" was the first of the novels to hit on this, though it also happened in the series, and in the movies he has openly embraced his human heritage.

One of the best Star Trek novels

This is a prime Star Trek novel. Easily one of the best. The plot is direct and easy to follow as in all ST novels. But, where most others are thin on character development "Triangle" makes the characters rich and real and believable. In fact, I can't think of one Star Trek novel where the authors did a better job of creating emotion than Marshak and Culbreath do in "Triangle."What's more surprising is that this is one of the shortest ST novels. I read these mainly because they are fast easy reads, they're purely entertainment for me. I therefore let them evaporate from my memory. I've read almost 50 of them and this is one of few that has stuck in my head, even though I read it in the late 80's.
