Book Reviews of Star Trek Movie Tie-In

Book Review: Even die hard Trekkies/Trekkers will want more!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am an extremly devoted Trekker going on 30+ years now, I have seen every Trek series and all the movies so I have my opinion on what the best of the franchise is. And I have grown weary of the prequel theory (If it don't work right, go to the far beginning and start over and everything will be all better) believing that starting a series over will 'fix' or make a series more exciting does not work as proven time and time again. With everything in the Star Trek universe, all we've seen and all that has been done, how do you start over the greatest sci fi series ever and still stay true to the reason geeks like me fell in love with it oh so long ago? Easy - Star Trek - thats how. First off, it establishes that this story is set in an alternate time line (So this is just ONE of many many ways the classic series COULD have wound up and is going on in another reality) (I just gave myself a headache) All of which is explained in great detail by OUR Spock. Yes, time travel is the main plot in this as many of the other movies, and if you are a stickler for details, yes things are shaken up in the universe of Trek, but in a good way. Rodenberry wanted someone to come along one day and make his creation bigger and better. I think someone has. A page turner from start to finish, you get to whitness the birth of Kirk and Spock and they grow with you the same way you grew with them. Hats off to Mr Foster for making a book that I could not put down, literally, i read the entire thing in about 2 hours, it draws you in and makes you want to get to know your 'old friends' all over again. The pages spout off classic lines from the show used in an updated way that makes us 'Nerds' cool again, and gives new life to characters that are old and constantly done the same way over and over again. But at the same time it does not take itself seriously, joking all through out and helping answer some long wondered questions about the show. The same old Kirk, Bones and Spock - but new suprises that has even the most devoted of Trekker wanting more. With this 'new timline' the possibilities are endless, the bar has been risen, lets see whats new in the Final Frontier.... FINALLY - Being a nerd is cool.

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 choose?"

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 canstop him.

"The wait is over."
