Customer Reviews

Surprise! It's good!

I didn't expect much from this book, since it was aimed at young readers, but decided to buy it anyway since it was written by Peter David (one of my favorite authors). Gene Roddenberry used each episode of Star Trek to tell a morality tale, and Peter David followed that same path. He did not "dumb down" the story just to please his youth market. Instead we find a story that tackles issues of race, prejudice, distrust of the enemy, and even a little sibling rivalry. This story may only be 133 pages, but it goes far deeper than its short length suggests. If Star Trek TNG were still an active show, this story would make an excellent "flashback" episode..... and most likely become one of the fan favorites.

Peter David's books can't be bad!

Even if meant for kids, this is a very nice books. And if you're planning to read Peter David's "New Frontier" books (or if you alread read them!), make sure to read these 3 books (this is only the first part) and re-discover some of the charactersAnyway, your really can NOT go wrong with any book by Peter David.

Marvelous

Peter David's writing is fantastic and James Fry's artwork is beautiful.All of this make a story. On the other hand, this bookis only the beginning of Worf's story. I really can imagine what Worf's Academy days like thanks to this book.

Excellent!

If you liked this book then I would definitely reccommend any of the New Frontier books by Peter David. You get to find out what happened to Soleta, Kebron and Mark later on in life.....

I really liked this book .

I thought it was very exciting. The characters were realistic. My favorite charecters were Mark McHenry and Tania Tobias. I would recommend this book to Star Trek:The Next Generation fans everywhere.
