Summary: Learn more about Ensign Chekov and Commodore Wesley
Comment: Books written by three authors tend to be either bland or disjointed. Bland because arguments over the story line led to a mushy compromise or disjointed as some of each authors ideas were incorporated into the book. Neither is the case here. This is a book in the finest tradition of the Star Trek model. The new characters are well drawn and we get to see a side of Commodore Wesley that was not apparent in the original series. Chronologically, the story also takes place shortly after Chekov first arrives on the Enterprise, and a subplot follows his first days on the Enterprise where he commits some errors of enthusiasm.
The book begins with devastating attacks being carried out on Federation colonies. At first the only point of the attacks appears to be the destruction of Federation sites. However, after a great deal of investigation, the purpose turns out to be much more sinister. The Enterprise engages the raiders and just manages to defeat them after learning of their origins.
This is one of the better books in the Star Trek series and I found it difficult to put it down.

Summary: Star Trek: The Disinherited
Comment: Star Trek: The Disinherited by Peter David with Michael Jan Friedman and Robert Greenberger is a TREK tale told well. The collaboration of the three authors gives the story a full body of adventure as the characters are fleshed out. You get the feeling while reading this book that someone has spend some time writing this story.
As Kirk and crew, minus Uhura, speed off to save another Federation world suffering from an unknown space attack, only to find the worlds completely devastated. Ready adventure is apparent when the attacking fleet severly damages the Enterprise and make their escape.
But, Spock finds something of great interest that could make a difference in the fate of the Federation, let alone the Enterprise. Uhura is on a mission of her own... making this a two story adventure... working the plots of these stories together, the readers get a better picture of the adventure.
This is solid classic TREK told well and written to keep your interest with an ending only found in the TREK universe.
Rating: 4
Summary: Better than average.
Comment: I've read well over 100 Star Trek novels; this one is not a standout that I would recommend to someone if they wanted ten recommendations (or even twenty), but it is solid and enjoyable. Not surprisingly, given who the authors are, it is well-written, and (perhaps surprisingly,) the collaboration is pretty seamless; I thought that I would recognize each individual's writing style, and be able to tell who contributed what, but that was not the case other than a few places where I definitely recognized Peter David's sense of humor.
