Book Reviews of Double or Nothing (Star Trek The Next Generation: Double Helix, Book 5)
Book Review: inlightening and fabulously funny!
Summary: 5 Stars
well, it certainly puts a few of my questions about Burgoyne, Selar, and McHenry! I was about ready to kick Peter David tush if he didn't start writing more New Frontier books, but he managed to pull a saver just in time. I haven't really read any Double Helix books, but I couldn't resist this one. I got it from a friend of mine, and I laughed the entire time I read it.Book Review: Falls flat
Summary: 2 Stars
The rest of the Double Helix series has been a blast, but this one took me forever to read. To tell the truth, I haven't even finished it, and I'm not sure I will. I loved Imzadi, that was a killer book, but David's portrayal of Riker is horrid, and I'm two thirds through the book and have yet to see Picard. The way his New Frontier crew interacts is similar to a 90210 episode, and, I'm glad to say, has made up my mind as to whether or not to check out the real series. David's character Calhoun is disgusting. Does the guy have ANY weaknessess? I thought the novel said "Star Trek: The Next Generation" on the front, not "Peter David's Pet Character". Still, if you're going to read the whole Double Helix series, you should go ahead and read this. Though it doesn't seem to be going anywhere towards the next book. *sigh* Oh well. If you want a good example of how a seperate, new crew can be brought in and work excellently with TNG folks, try Diane Carey's Ship of The Line. It's great. I'll agree with one of the previous posters, the Q - Continuum trilogy was excellent! Anyway, here's hoping that David's next one will be better!Book Review: HUH? Why titled double helix?
Summary: 2 Stars
Only after page 200 did the mention of a virus even come up except for one sentence before that. Doesn't belong in the double helix series. Ridiculous, and not even much of a plot but more about sex and dumb jokes.Book Review: not that great
Summary: 2 Stars
i'm a fan of peter david, but this had to be one of the most convoluted trek books ever, i like the characters but the story felt idiotic and there never seemed to be a reason why they were all in this story...the characterisation of shelby and her interaction with riker was off the mark, she was not the same characterBook Review: By far the BEST of the six part series.
Summary: 5 Stars
I always wondered if Peter David would revisit the interaction between Riker and Shelby in the New Frontier books. It was well worth the wait. This book also serves as an introduction to the New Frontier series describing all curent storylines in progress. Well worth the read
