Book Reviews of A Time to Harvest (Star Trek The Next Generation)

Book Review: Great Writing - Very Impressed with D. Ward
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm not a science fiction fan. The only reason I know about Star Trek is probably for the same reason the majority of Americans of my generation know about it - the TV show "The Next Generation" has been on for so long that it has become a cultural icon. Combine this with Patrick Stewarts' notoriety and Levar Burtons' recognition as 'That "Reading Rainbow" host', and you have a semi-recognizable set of characters.

I was surprised to pick up this book and get into it. To be honest, I never liked the weird looking aliens, so I just imagined the various species to be humans of different nationalities. Unimaginative, I know, but it got me into it.

Dayton War, perhaps from his experience as a Marine, breaks down the technological jargon and making the crew and their efforts seem interesting and laudible. There is a scene in the book where it seems that the crew has inadvertently caused catastrophic damage to an entire civilization, and the way it is handled makes it clear that the writer is using the fallout from the Dominion War very effectively to show a loss of confidence that all societies face at one or more times. The fact that it affects the crew of the Enterprise and how they are perceived makes one think of the fallout from the Vietnam War and how it affected the United States military and our State Department officers.

A very interesting book - I think you'll like this series.

Summary of A Time to Harvest (Star Trek The Next Generation)

On the cusp of their epic battle with Shinzon, many of Captain Jean-Luc Picard's long-time crew were heading for new assignments and new challenges. Among the changes were William Riker's promotion to captain and his new command, Riker's marriage to Counselor Deanna Troi, and Dr. Beverly Crusher's new career at Starfleet Medical. But the story of what set them on a path away from the Starship EnterpriseT has never been told.

UNTIL NOW.


Still reeling from the disastrous events that have rocked all of Starfleet and tarnished the career of one of the Federation's most decorated captains, Picard and his crew must now endure the unthinkable: scandal, ostracism, and an uncertain future. But despite all that has occurred, none aboard the Enterprise have forgotten their duty as Starfleet officers....

Assigned to assist the imperiled Dokaalan -- a small colony of refugees who maintain a precarious existence in a rapidly disintegrating asteroid mining complex -- the Enterprise crew must somehow aid this alien race in terraforming a nearby planet so that it might someday provide a new home for their kind. But violent acts of sabotage soon turn a humanitarian crisis into a deadly confrontation. To save the Dokaalan from extinction, Picard must uncover the presence of an old adversary -- and prevent a disaster of catastrophic proportions!
