Summary: Great book and series
Comment: this was only the second TNG book I have read. I liked it a great deal and it was a perfect followup to the First Strike. The Furies are great enemies, and Kirk and his crew are at their best in confronting the threat. The pace is blinding in speed, the plot tight and well thought out and the characterizations well done. If you can get it (I noted it is out of stock) read it, but after First Strike
Rating: 5
Summary: The best one I have read!!
Comment: I have read many of the Star Trek TNG books and I find this one to be the best. Smith and Rusch always make a really good book when they team up, just like Star Trek's "The Rings of Tautee". The drama and suspense of this book is out of the world. All the characters are well rounded and fit everything that the TV series made them out to be. But I must admit something, I read this book series out of order. I have since borrowed the other books in the series and will read them in order, this time. I will make a review of them afterwards
Rating: 3
Summary: STNG #41 Invasion! The Soldiers of Fear - A major let down!
Comment: After the exciting events of the first novel in this series "First Strike," "The Soldiers of Fear" is a disappointing let down. This is extremely rare for these two fine authors, Dean Wesley Smith and his wife, Kristine Kathryn Rusch. It doesn't take too long to notice that the authors probably weren't given too much of a look at the first novel because several avenues opened during that book were seemingly ignored in this one. Most telling of this tale is the rather short length of the novel, at 234 pages of large print to include a 38 page excerpt from the third book in the series, which is considerably shorter than the other three novels.
To add to the disappointment of this novel is the pure fact that conceptually, the premise is wrought with unrealized potential. I'm sure that if these two fine authors were given more time and another opportunity to write this one, they would've written a much better novel.
The cover art for this novel is only slightly better than the rest at the time of its publishing.
The premise:
After a century of peace and no sign of the Furies, they return with a vengeance to reclaim the territory they believe is rightfully theirs. To make matters worse for Starfleet and the rest of the Alpha quadrant, the Furies have returned with a massive fleet of even more deadly ships than the one that came a century before. To add to that, they learned something from their first encounter and are now employing a weapon of fear upon their enemies, literally crippling them and then moving in with their physical weapons to destroy them.
What follows from there, as stated above, is novel that was wrought with potential that is ultimately unrealized in its execution. I would still recommend this novel and the other three in the series as this is only a bump in the road for the series as a whole. {ssintrepid}
