Book Reviews of Pilgrim Stars (Wing Commander: Movie Universe, Book 2)
Book Review: A lesson from Wing Commander
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a Wing Commander fan since 1990. I've read all the novels>except for End Run and parts of Action Stations. But I am not totally devoted to just WC. I like all kinds of science fiction, such as Star Trek, Starship Troopers (but I hated the movie, it required no intelligence to watch, but the book and CGI series are good), Star Wars,and seaQuest. I must say, this book isn't even close to describing the real WC universe. But it is rather good reading. If you don't consider it being a "real" WC book. Read it for the lessons it teaches and the story itself. Peter Telep, describes with a certain flair, the way he describes certain things definitely better than William R. Forstchen (he's pretty good, but not as good as Telep), one of the other WC authors. I suppose it is an artistic touch. The novel itself is not really centered on action and space combat. I view it as a moral lesson. The story involves genetically mutated humans known as Pilgrims. They were explorers that somehow mutated, have various special abilities, and they then somehow lost their humanity. These Pilgrims then try to conquer the "normal" humans. They get defeated, and the bitterness lasts among many of them. There's also a lot of prejudice as well from the normal humans. So one female Pilgrim and her followers try to inflict as much damage to the humans as possible. A story of revenge. The classic story of revenge... I know this sounds like racism from our time period, and it should. Why do people judge others by how they look, because they are different from you, who were their ancestors, and because they do things differently than you do? One of the reasons we have science fiction is to see into the future, and to see what remains from the past, so that we may ponder the intricate ways of fixing what is wrong. Still, we never even learn from history itself. Peter Telep has definitely given me some insight into what the future may be like if we don't fix what is going on now. Will there be more wars? Will there be racism? Will we finally achieve peace? I'll never live to see that far into the future, but we must change the present, before our descendants future is ruined...
Summary of Pilgrim Stars (Wing Commander: Movie Universe, Book 2)
As the courageous Lt. Blair leads a patrol investigating an attack on the desolate Mylon 3, it becomes obvious that fanatical Pilgrim rebels are up to their old tricks again, subverting warriors and fighting the Confederation...and the sudden trapping of a Kilrathi ship by a mysterious gravity well only adds to suspicions. With the fate of Earth hanging in the balance, Blair and Taggart must deliver themselves into enemy hands in order to understand -- and preempt -- the Pilgrims' murderous plot.Movie Tie-Ins Books
