 Rating:  - This is really a crossover!This is what a real trekky always love. A crossover between favorite characters of the different Star Trek series! Besides, the plot is easy to follow and very exciting. Michael Jan Friedman is very good at that. I definitely recommend this book and hope that more like it are currently being written. Rating:  - "-I- AM SPOCK-TACUS!"You can bet that if Peter David had lifted a cliche as hoary as the "I am Spartacus" moment for one of his stories, he would have at least given a nod to his source! Spock as messiah became fairly tedious, as did the rehash of 'old codger from OST becoming a liability and then proving himself' plot line from RELICS.

The sound affects were good, never drowning out the narrater. Overall a good purchase, and I recommend it. Rating: - Star Trek Crossover: This should be the next movieThis is the best story to combine characters from both the original Star Trek series and The Next Generation. Jonathon Frakes gives an outstanding performance as he reads for characters like the surly Admiral McCoy, the stoic Ambassador Spock, and the irrepressible Captain Scott. His Picard, Data, and, of course, Riker are top notch, too. The story involves Picard and crew on a diplomatic mission to return a group of captured Unificationists from the Romulans, who don't know Spock is among ... Read More |
