Summary: Genesis Wave III is an Excellent Read
Comment: Genesis Wave I & II were excellent reads. I was a bit hesitant about Genesis Wave III wondering what else could be said but the story and especially the characters quickly put my fears to rest. The story is relatively fast paced. We see Admiral Necheyev in a new light. There are two very engaging Romulan characters introduced and developed during the story. Jarit an assassin and an outlaw Regimol. There is also a niece of Spock Teska who is nicely portrayed. The story is engaging but its the development of and interaction between the characters that make the book a great success. For those interested in the story it basically follows a Bajoran Prylor who thinks a portable Genesis Wave device is a orb and the attempts of the Romulans to get it but as mentioned earlier the story is secondary to the character interaction. I highly recommend this book to every Star Trek fan. I want to see more of the characters introduced and one or two not mentioned

Summary: Barely Two Stars- Very Poor
Comment: The first two books in this series were very good. Admittedly, it was unnecessary to write two books when it could have been done as a thick hardcover, but such is life. The first two books were marked by an inventive plot, a well-rounded cast of characters, and a decent conclusion. I read both in hardcover, then bought them in paperback. I didn't get the chance to read this before purchase, so I was caught unawares by this terrible book.
The third book was nowhere near as good as the first two. The plot was derivate, slow, and pointless. The regular characters were noticably out of character, and the characters written for this book were two-dimensional and unsympathetic. Picard especially made me wince, but Yorka was a close second for Least Believable. The ending was possibly one of the least satisfying conclusions I've ever read. It was the first time I was ever tempted to throw a book against a wall. No ending should solve the problem, kill the antagonists, and make everyone in the universe feel good in two pages.
I expected much better from John Vornholt. If you liked The Genesis Wave I and II, then you might also like Gemworld One and Two, by the same author. You might also look for a Deep Space Nine trilogy called Millenium, which is possibly the best Star Trek I have ever read. If you really want to read Book Three out of completeness, check it out from the library, but you'll be disappointed.

Summary: Too Many Waves...
Comment: The Genesis Wave: books 1 & 2 were two of the best books I ever read. So naturally, when I heard about book 3 I thought it would be just as good. But it was terrible! It's slow, boring, and off the subject. The Genesis Wave: book 3, seemed to me, to be more about Picard's love affair with a fake Romulan rather than the Genesis wave.
I thought that this book was more along the line of a sequel to John Vornholt's Gemworld series (which was also a very good read). It's like he took the two book series and blended them together.
I don't really recommend this book to anyone. I like John Vornholt, and the way he writes, but this book just isn't worth your time and money.
