The Wrath of Khan 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This is my favorite Star Trek movie novelization. It contains so much more than a play-by-play of the movie, but it also delves into tremendous characterization.. In the novel, Peter Preston Engineer's Mate is so much more. The reader also becomes aware that the young cadet is also the son of Scotty's sister. This revelation gives so much added meaning to the scene in which the chief engineer brings in the young man's charred remains after Khan's surprise attack. The theatrical release gives little more than Bones' heart-felt apology. The network television showing (which would appear from time to time on ABC) added scenes which did bring out this important plot point, but this has not been shown for many years. Why not issue a Director's Cut of this a la the original Motion Picture DVD. It would bring so much added meaning to this already classic film.

Editorial Review:

Prepare Yourself For Warp-10 Excitement!

The Galaxy's ultimate future is in the hands of James Kirk, Mr. Spock and the indomitable crew of the Enterperprise.

The Galaxy's ultimate weapon is in the hands of the evil Khan and his followers.

A battle that will shake the universe cannot be avoided...And the ultimate adventure is about to begin!

Very good book for pre-teen 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I read this book when I was 12 and I loved it. I thought it was the best I had ever read. I read again last week (I'm 16 now) I still thought it was great but not that good. It's about a girl called Barbary who smuggles her pet cat onto a research station. I recomend that you should get this for your selves or your children. Enjoy

Nice details on space life 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This was an engaging book which does a good job at explaining some of the "realities" of life on a space station. The cat is adorable and the girls are nicely characterized. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the treatment of the "visitors" but that's probably as much because I've read many books which take the opposite view as anything else.

Not Free SF Reader 2 out of 5 stars.

I presume this is supposed to be a young adult type novel. For that, I think I would recommend it. A girl, a space station, cat smuggling, all that sort of thing. Not weighed against everything else in general though.

Editorial Review:

Orphaned Barbary finds a new home on a space station but runs into difficulties trying to protect her pet cat Mickey.

Nostalgia for Spock fans 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 4 people found this review helpful.

OK, I read this book when I hadn't seen the movie. I still haven't. That's because I think its an amazing piece of fiction and the movie (even though it came first) wouldn't do justice to the book!

For crazy Spock fans like me it's getting back to the pure Trekkie zone, a refreshing change from the "Next Gen" ! The small part of the novel based in Vulcan is an amazing work at giving natural touch. Vonda McIntyre's descriptions are world class!

Editorial Review:

No One On The Enterprise Can Believe That Mr. Spock Is Gone!

As the crew grieves for Mr. Spock, the awesome Genesis Device, now controlled by the Federation, has transformed an inert nebula into a new planet teeming with life. But Genisis can also destroy existing worlds.

The creators of the Device want it given freely to the Galaxy. But Starfleet Command fears that it will become a force for evil. And the enemies of the Federation will not rest until they seize it -- as their most powerful weapon in the battle to conquer the Galaxy!

The other side of Center 4 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

If you've read Dreamsnake, and were wondering just what was on the other side of the door into Center, this is the book that covers that. Center is a fascinating world in its own right, as the last bastion of technological Earth. Unfortunately they've become so insular they practically don't know the rest of the planet exists. Ms. McIntyre's writing still has the uncanny power it shows in Dreamsnake that will leave you imagining Center and its people long after the details of plot have vanished from your memory.

Added scenes a great extra 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Vonda McIntyre's added scenes in the beginning of this book were absolutely wonderful. The romance between Lieutenant Saavik and David Marcus, the wake for Spock, and the story about how Captain Sulu is originally supposed to command the Excelsior all bring together the story in a much better way than the movie did. Overall, an excellent book that all should read!

This book is a great novelization of the wonderful movie. 5 out of 5 stars.

"Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" is a great story, in either movie or book form. The book continues right from the end of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn", while in the movie, there's a large gap between where Spock dies and the Enterprise goes back to Earth. In the book's version of the story, the Enterprise travels back Regula to identify the dead scientists at Regula I. I think this makes the story more complete. While orbiting Regula, the Enterprise also meets up with the U.S.S. Grissom to exchange personnel. After learing a breif history on the Klingon woman that gives Klingon Commander Kruge the Genesis tape, the "movie" part of the book finally gets started. Also, as a side story for the book, Dr. Carol Marcus goes to the familes of her dead comrades to give them presents to help them cope with the death of their children. A strange switch of names occurs in this book. Ceti Alpha V is called &quo! t;Alpha Ceti V". Regula is called "Regulus". And finally, the Genesis lab, Regula I, is called "spacelab". These discrepencies are minor distractions, and don't make the book less enjoyable to the reader. All in all, this book is a great stand-alone novel, and you'd enjoy it just as much even if you never saw the movie.

Not Free SF Reader 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

A pretty forgettable Star Wars novel. Han and Leia have three kids. Solo is getting a bit slack in his older-age generalship.

So, of course, you end up with kids gone and them having to run around to try and get them back via the odd alien planet, that sort of thing.

Luke is still doing the look for jedi thing.

Editorial Review:

With the New Alliance firmly established, Princess Leia Organa has taken a strong leading role in government, but even now safety and security are not assured. As Luke Skywalker and Han Solo take advantage of the stability of the new order, Leia's and Han's children are kidnapped.
