Star Trek: Signature Edition: Worlds in Collision

by Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Judith Reeves-Stevens

Book Overview

Of all the experiences shared by Captain Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise during their first five-year mission, two were among the most perilous: a journey to the nonphysical realm of Transition where the massive computer known as Memory Prime was situated, and the nightmarish mission to Talin IV, a world poised on the brink of destruction that Kirk was forbidden to save.

Good stories!

Let's say you've done the most basic reading on this site and realize that this book consists of two previously published stories, with very tiny font. Are the STORIES worth it? Absolutely. Prime Directive, in my opinion, is one of the very best Star Trek novels out of the hundreds that have been written. It's incredibly tightly written, well-placed, and seamlessly weaves together 5 different narratives to bring the entire crew together for an astonishing sci-fi climax. Fantastic character moments for every major crewmember of the Enterprise, great humor involving some Orion pirates, nuclear wars- this book has got it all. The ending is one of the most imaginative, science-fictiony climaxes of any Star Trek book, and makes you appreciate the wonder of the universe (or multiverse). Memory Prime is nowhere near as good, but it's still above average. Frankly, this whole book is worth it for Prime Directive; think of Memory Prime as a bonus. If you haven't read Prime Directive and you can stand the small font, get this book now. (Otherwise, get the regular edition of Prime Directive with bigger font!)

Two great Star Trek stories packaged together

Like a lot of industries, the Star Trek "corporation" is intent on making profits. That is the nature of the beast, giving customers what they want. Worlds in Collision is a repackaging of two other Star Trek stories: Memory Prime, and Prime Directive. I hadn't read these as separate books, so I was delighted to get both full-length books, packaged together, at a very reasonable price. Woo-hoo! These are great Star trek stories, full of intrigue, and rich with the Star Trek personality development I expected. Of the two, I liked Prime Directive the most, but the galaxy is a pretty big place, and I really don't like it when folk, scattered throughout the quadrant, seem to show up at the same place at the same time. Literary license, I guess. Good for reading level 7 and up. I look forward to discovering additional bargains!
