Summary: ST-TOS: Across the Universe
Comment: Star Trek - The Original Series: Across the Universe written by Pamela Sargent and George Zebrowski is a ship from the past novel that is looking for a place to start a new colony book.
This book is a weak story and the planetary intellegence (a large green moss like substance) is ruthless or so it seems, in its protection of its nerve center. As this adventure unfolds, Kirk and the Enterprise crew try to solve the problem of finding a place for a group of 21st century colonists that time has left behind from the colony ship Hawking and dealing with a planetary intellegence that no one has previously seen.
The story plot is rather weak and the book is short, with those two things going for it makes for a quick short read. I wouldn't recommend reading this book as it is not that well-written and doesn't challenge the reader. I thought that this book was written more for the juvinile mindset not a sophisticated TREK fan.
This book can garner no more than 3 stars and that is generous under the circumstances.

Summary: Not too high on the list!
Comment: Starfleet has discovered an early model ship from earth's past. The Enterprise is dispatched to intercept the ship and meet with its crew. Once Captain Kirk meets with the ships captain, he has some initial doubts. Despite his doubts, he finds himself liking the captain and his crew. The inhabitants of the ship were originally on course to a distant planet to start a new colony. Once they meet up with Captain Kirk and the Enterprise, they discover the planet they were heading to no longer exists. Left without a place to go, Starfleet finds them a colony world to go to. When they arrive at the colony world though, they find that they may have gone to a planet that is on the verge of destroying the colony and all of it's inhabitants.
At it's core, this story has an interesting premise, unfortunately, the author's do not in my opinion, bring it to fruition. "Across the Universe" is one of the few Star Trek books that I found to be hardly captivating. At only 217 pages, this is an extremely short trek book. Hopefully any future trek books I read by these authors will be a lot better than this one.
Rating: 2
Summary: Rather dull
Comment: This is a rather uninteresting story about colonists in a sleeper ship. Well, actually it's not. It's about The Giant Crawling Moss Thing That Eats People. The two stories really aren't related and neither are very good. They'd be much better rewritten as two short stories. It seems as if writers never know how to handle having people from our century in the Star Trek universe. Just get this book if you want a light and VERY goofy read.
