Summary: Great Story
Comment: I think this the best of the Enterprise books so far and one of the best Star Trek books I have read. It has a good pace,plenty of action and enough explantions so that you always understand what is happening. This book is especially good for anyone who is a fan of the Malcolm Reed character.
I do have one complaint and that is there are many errors in the book that anyone who is a regular viewer of the series will pickup on, I found the errors just slightly annoying but they didn't really detract from the story which is why I gave a five star rating.
Rating: 3
Summary: Good but not great.
Comment: This book probably should rate a bit higher than three stars, but four would definitely be too high for it; it is a gripping action-adventure novel, with good characterization and an interesting plot, but it is really nothing out of the ordinary as Trek novels go (although it WAS nice to see a more in-depth look at Lt. Malcolm Reed, who is usually just a background character.)
On the down side, this is one of those novels that prominently contains a mystery that the reader sees coming by no later than chapter four, but that the characters just can't imagine the solution to until the very end. At least in this case it isn't because the characters are being portrayed as dolts, but simply because this sort of thing is not something one would expect in real life, but any reader of fantasy or science fiction knows that in a fictional story, it is very possible; still, even if their relative lack of speed on the uptake is not unreasonable, it still makes the story very frustrating for the reader.
I enjoyed reading this book, but I can't say that there was anything particularly spectacular about it that would make it stand out in the crowd of Star Trek books, other than the fact that it is (at this point) one of very few "Enterprise" novels. If you enjoy the show, or would like a good introduction to it, this book is certainly worth the read, as it is if you simply want a good, action-packed Star Trek novel. But if you want more than that, this isn't the book for you.
Rating: 4
Summary: Stand Out Among Star Trek Books
Comment: What Price Honor is a stand-out among Star Trek books. Unlike many, which simply fall into the ship stops at planet, crew sees problem, crew solves problem and saves planet mold, What Price Honor weaves an interesting tale, combining scenes from the near past, months earlier and present-day in to a cohesive story. We gradually learn more about how ensign Alana Hart dies as the near-past and present-day plot-lines advance.
We follow how Ensign Hart goes from a social recluse to finally having a romantic interlude with Malcolm and requesting a transfer right before her death. Complicataing matters is that this all represents "first contact" with the Sarkassians and Ta'alaat who are embroiled in a interplanetary war over ownership of technology from a now-extinct advanced society.
Malcolm & Captain Archer's desire to resolve what happened to Ensign Hart (who we later learn was actually killed by Malcolm) draws them deep into the thick of the inter-species conflict.
