Summary: If you like short story anthology Star Trek books ......
Comment: This volume compiles all the short stories featured in the brief publication of Amazing Stories. It was a great science fiction magazine that returned after several years. It's a loss to the readers when that was cancelled. I just wish this volume was longer. It includes tales from each series excluding Enterprise; which wasn't on the air at the time of publication.
Rating: 5
Summary: Very good short stories!
Comment: Star Trek the Next Generation stories:
"Last Word" by A.C. Crispin
A very poignant story dealing with Captain Picard's desire to attend Sarek's funeral. He is continuing to have dreams relating to his mind meld with Sarek. This story takes place very shortly after the events of Unification parts one and two. He has recently mind melded with Spock as well. Overall a very good short story that fills a gap. A.C. Crispin is one of the better Star Trek writers.
"Bedside Matters" by Greg Cox
A very good short story, basically encompassing Dr. Beverly Crusher's prejudice towards the EMH. When a situation arise where she has no choice but to use the EMH, she discovers that it/he can be rather useful. An enjoyable short read by one Star Trek's best authors.
"On the Scent of Trouble" by John Gregory Betancourt
An fascinating tale about the Enterprise in a "first contact" situation. They encounter a Pelavian vessel. They discover that the Pelavians do not communicate in the same fashion as most sentient species. They are entirely telepathic and scent as well. What ensues is a very good short story. A very good read by one of the newer and better Star Trek authors.
"Life Itself Is Reason Enough" by M. Shayne Bell
A very good tale about the Enterprise leading the evacuation of a planet. The planet's atmosphere is collapsing. The story primarily concentrates on Lt. Worf and Counselor Troi. The planet's inhabitants are transplanted Innuit. I'm definitely looking forward to more work by this author.
Star Trek Voyager stories:
"A Night at Sandrine's" by Christie Golden
A very good story, focusing on Lt. Tom Paris, the holodeck and his past transgressions on a woman. Christie Golden once again proves why she's the go to author for Star Trek Voyager stories.
"When Push Comes to Shove" by Josepha Sherman and Susan Shwartz
An interesting tale about a young alien with an unusual gift. Along with this young girl's gift, she brings back some memories to Seven. The two authors are definitely tops in the Star Trek genre and hopefully we'll be seeing more of their work.
"The Space Vortex of Doom" by D. W. "Prof" Smith
Another great Captain Proton story by the now master of Captain Proton stories.
I'd have to say that even though I think the price for The Amazing Stories is a little high. I would have to say though, that these stories were pretty good. This more or less offsets the slightly higher price. I would recommend this to any Star Trek fan.
Rating: 2
Summary: Stories offered can't live up to the Title
Comment: While I enjoyed the first two TNG stories in this collection, the remaining two TNG and all three VOY were little better than average. This anthology isn't worth the price.
