The real deal.,
August 23, 1999 By A Customer
This review is from: The Disinherited (Star Trek, Book 59) (Mass Market Paperback)
Some Star Trek novels just don't feel authentic. Often, the ship and the characters are static figures working in a vacuume. (not the outer space kind...) This book gets it right. It feels like it is a true part of the Star Trek universe. Many tiny little details from the three seasons of the original series are woven together into a fabric of Trek "reality." There is one in joke concerning a dual role that I really got a kick out of. This is a quick, fun read and I reccoment it to original series fans of every stripe.

The best Star Trek book I've read in a long time,

This review is from: The Disinherited (Star Trek, Book 59) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read well over 100 Star Trek books and this one was the best I've read in a very long time. A number of different elements that all tie together nicely in the end make for a good story. One thing that I really enjoyed the most was that this book did one of the better jobs of capturing some of the nature of the relationships amongst the crew that holds true to the original show. The only thing that I didnt enjoy fully was the view this book tried to give into the psyche of a young Ensign Chekov. This was a very good and enjoyable read.

Star Trek: The Disinherited by Peter David with Michael Jan Friedman and Robert Greenberger is a TREK tale told well. The collaboration of the three authors gives the story a full body of adventure as the characters are fleshed out. You get the feeling while reading this book that someone has spend some time writing this story.As Kirk and crew, minus Uhura, speed off to save another Federation world suffering from an unknown space attack, only to find the worlds completely devastated. Ready adventure is apparent when the attacking fleet severly damages the Enterprise and make their escape.But, Spock finds something of great interest that could make a difference in the fate of the Federation, let alone the Enterprise. Uhura is on a mission of her own... making this a two story adventure... working the plots of these stories together, the readers get a better picture of the adventure.This is solid classic TREK told well and written to keep your interest with an ending only...Read more
