Following up after the excellent Reap the Whirlwind, Dayton Ward's plate was quite full - but he more than delivered. This novel is neatly divided in different plotthreads, so I'm going to comment on those individually: * Reyes' court-martial First of all, I appreciated the fact that the trial...
A collection of four stories, better on average than the first four, including one cleverly done story. The first story finishes up the cliff hanger from the first collection. Having read the first 8 stories from the S.C.E., I have to say they are pretty enjoyable.
What Judgments Come is the penultimate chapter in the ST: Vanguard series. There’s nothing terribly wrong with this installment but I can’t help feeling that much of it is filler. The only plotline resolved is the fate of Diego Reyes, the disgraced commander of Vanguard who was court martialed, kidn...
Declassified is a collection of four novellas set in the Star Trek: Vanguard setting, which takes place around the time of the original series. The Federation has built Vanguard (Starbase 47) in the Taurus Reach ostensibly to lead the colonization efforts in the region (which borders Tholian and Kli...
I enjoyed this. It fits in a unique spot between the last two Original Cast movies and actually sets up film VI. It uses a two person away team which was not as common in the series and made for an interesting pairing of Kirk and Sulu with Klingons as partners in a mission of mutual interest. The ch...
After reading the first story, I really didn't want to read any more. That Empress Sato (or whatever her name was) was far too evil. She should have been a villain, but, I guess, in a "mirror universe," things are flipped. I won't be reading any other volumes in this series.
Probably more like 3.5 stars, but I don't do half stars...Only picked this up because I've 'met' one of the authors online, and was feeling stalkerish curious. And of course I was a big TNG fan back in the day. It was really pleasant to reacquaint myself with what felt like a bunch of old friends. ...
This book I kept in my car for times when I needed something to read but didn't plan ahead, so it took me awhile to finish. It was okay. What especially interested me was reading at the end that both authors are from Kansas City and may even still live here! I'll have to do some research into that! ...
I've mentioned in my reviews of the Vanguard series how Mack is the visibly better writer than his collaborators. I've offered no examples to illustrate my contention, which is poor form. Partly, that's because this is my brain-candy reading and I'm not picking over it like a grad student studying H...
This second volume in the Vanguard series is not written by David Mack, and Dayton Ward and Kevin Dilmore aren't quite as good authors. It's not a night-and-day difference in style or execution but Harbinger Star Trek Vanguard 1 is the better book.Biggest highlight:* The authors do a good job of sho...
