Book Reviews of Star Trek: The Original Series: Crucible: Kirk: The Star to Every Wandering

Book Review: I loved this book - exciting read!
Summary: 5 Stars

David George is one of my favorite writers - Star Trek or otherwise. Each book of this trilogy left me excited to read the next one. I love how all three books have new scenes that are interwoven with original series episodes. The new scenes were so good, I had a hard time recalling whether or not they were actually in the episodes. What a great way to pay tribute to the show on it's 40 year anniversary. Each book has it's own distinct tone which I also liked. The first two are more personal and character-driven. Even though this one is more action-oriented, it still manages to reveal the heart of Kirk. I like that George wasn't constrained by what was published previously. However, he remains true to the canon of the original and animated series. He also gives us a new take on the origins of Kirk - one that I find far more interesting than being the son of a starfleet admiral. After reading this, I also had a much greater appreciation for the movie, Generations. I now view it very differently. If you've got an open mind and let yourself go with the story, you'll enjoy the ride!

Summary of Star Trek: The Original Series: Crucible: Kirk: The Star to Every Wandering

IN A SINGLE MOMENT

. . . the lives of three men will be forever changed. In that split second, defined paradoxically by both salvation and loss, they will destroy the world and then restore it. Much had come before, and much would come after, but nothing would color their lives more than that one, isolated instant on the edge of forever.

IN A SINGLE MOMENT

. . . James T. Kirk, displaced in time, allows the love of his life to die in a traffic accident, thereby preserving Earth's history. Returning to the present, he continues a storied career as a starship captain, opening up the galaxy. But as he wanders among the stars, the incandescence that once filled his heart remains elusive.

IN A SINGLE MOMENT

. . . that haunts James T. Kirk throughout his life, he preserved the timeline at the cost of his happiness. Now, facing his own death, the very fabric of existence collapses across years and light-years, forcing him to race against -- and through -- time itself, until he comes full circle to that one bright star by which his life has always steered.
