Summary: Another significant installment of the New Frontier series!!
Comment: Peter David, you are a god! This book, Gods Above, was one of the best of the series and I can't wait for Stone and Anvil, the fourteenth book in the series. The only thing that was disappointing about this book was Kebron's change that he introduced in the 12th book. I'm not gonna tell you what it is, but it just led up so much to this huge thing, but what really happened is just...dissapointing, really.
Anyway! This book is freakin' awsome in everyway. I could not put the book down, no matter how hard I tried. I definitely recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: Excalibur and Trident all the way
Comment: I've injoyed the entire series of the (new frontier) its a fresh view on John Roddenberries version of Star Trek. Its been full of twists and turns and hard ship for all the crew. Cliff hangers at the end to be picked up the next book with unexpected proceedings. Having characters on Excalibur to fall in place and the new characters on Trident to have all new stories. And its just getting started.

Summary: The New Frontier is getting a little heavy-handed.
Comment: The latest installment in Peter David's "New Frontier" series got a little out of hand in its plot, but was ultimately enjoyable.
When we last saw the crew (or, I should say, 'crews,' since Shelby's crew on the Trident is now just as much a part of the plot as Calhoun's on the Excalibur), they were getting beaten to a pulp by the ancient gods of historical earth, and we'd learned that Mark McHenry had, in his ancestry, one of those gods - Apollo. In the episode of the original series with Apollo, he took a lady lieutenant aside, and apparently, they conceived, which ultimately led to Mark and his odd abilities.
Since Mark told Calhoun not to trust the gods (including Artemis, his childhood friend and adolescent lover), the gods smacked the Excalibur to heck and back, killing eight crewmembers, including Robin Lefler's apparently not-so-immortal mother, and leaving McHenry in a strange dead-but-not-decaying state.
And that's just the set up at the start of this novel. Si Cwan is back on Danter, trying to rekindle the Thallonian empire (but one of the gods is also on Danter, handing out ambrosia, and things get awkward, fast). The role of the gods, ambrosia, and the effect it is having on the quadrant is the main plot of the story, and done interestingly, if a tad over the top, and of course, the McHenry story (like he'd really be totally dead). Ditto Robin's mother.
The 'B' plot is the continuing story arc on the Trident of Lieutenant M'Ress, Lieutenant Commander Gleau, and Lieutenant Commander Arex - a twisted little love and hate and potential murder triangle that leaves one a little confused at best. Kat Meuller, Shelby's XO, gets quite a bit of attention in this book, and it's a good thing, but Peter David's tendancy to make everyone lust after the wrong person is starting to get a tad trite.
I was looking forward to this book, so I think I was a little let down by holding it up a little high in my expectations. It has some great one-liners (a David trademark), and the plot advances in some significant ways, so I cannot complain overmuch. It was good enough, just a little heavy on the coincidence.
