Book Reviews of Star Trek Movie Tie-In

Book Review: No New Content
Summary: 3 Stars

Alan Dean Foster is the go-to author for movie tie-in novels. He was tapped for the novelization of the new Star Trek movie.

If you were looking for a book that would fill you in on all the details that might have been missed in the film, Star Trek is not the story for you.

For whatever reason, Foster took the script and did not deviate one iota. What you saw in the movie, you get in the book.

There isn't any additional back story for any of the characters, you don't learn more about the older Spock or the Red stuff they use to destroy Vulcan.

I think this book was published for hungry Star Trek fans who couldn't wait for the DVD.

It reads just like watching the movie without the actual images.

Summary of Star Trek Movie Tie-In

"Are you willing to settle for an ordinary life? Or do you think you were meant for something better? Something special?"

One grew up in the cornfields of Iowa, fighting for his independence, for a way out of a life that promised only indifference, aimlessness and obscurity.

"You will forever be a child of two worlds, capable of choosing your own destiny. The only question you face is, which path will you chose?"

The other grew up on the jagged cliffs of the harsh Vulcan desert, fighting for acceptance, for a way to reconcile the logic he was taught with the emotions he felt.

In the far reaches of the galaxy, a machine of war bursts into existence in a place and time it was never meant to be. On a mission of retribution for the destruction of his planet, its half-mad captain seeks the death of every intelligent being, and the annihilation of every civilized world.

Kirk and Spock, two completely different and unyielding personalities must find a way to lead the only crew, aboard the only ship, that can stop him.

"The wait is over."
