Summary: A good sequel to "Star Trek IV"
Comment: Well written story, but drags at times with unnecessary banter and talk. I've read a few of Margaret's stories, but have trouble getting through them due to the extensive content she puts in them.
I remember in 1991 when this book was first supposed to hit the book stores. It took forever and that's when I later heard about the problems Margaret was having in her original story. Also, the rumor was that this story was going to contradict the events in "Star Trek VI" so it had to be postponed. I don't see why Paramount can't just get together with the authors first and come to a conclusion or agreement.
I loved the comment one reader made. I also think they should release an original story version of what it was really going to be about.

Summary: A worthy sequel to Star Trek IV
Comment: Margaret Wander Bonanno delivers an exciting science fiction adventure as she continues the story begun in the vastly entertaining Star Trek IV. The novel takes place in the aftermath of the mysterious Probe's visit to Earth, and follows the incredibly powerful alien device as it proceeds on its own continuing mission. The storyline also concerns a proposed peace summit between the Federation and the Romulan Empire that may or may not be legitimate. Besides the intricate plot, great detail is given to defining the characters, while the appropriate amount of suspense provides the novel with an edge. While trying to follow the immensely successful Star Trek IV with an comparably exciting novel is an extremely difficult task, Probe does not disappoint.
Rating: 5
Summary: My favourite Trek book of all.
Comment: I have read all but a half dozen Star Trek books, and this is my all-time favourite. It encompasses all the core elements of Star Trek. There are three main groups of characters in this book: the Enterprise crew, the peaceful Romulan faction of Commander Hiren, the paranoid Romulans out to sabotage the peace conference, the Romulan civilians that just want to live their own lives, and finally the Probe. Instead of being a distant threat, or at least plot device, the Probe is the centre of its own story, presented complete with its own views, motivations and choices. it brings an incredible sense of wonder to the book, both in reading from its point of view and from the people trying to interact with it. The core of the book is on communication, and the theme that any beings that talk with open minds and the determination to deal honestly can settle their differences, no matter the issues between them and their differences in viewpoint - even beings so different as the Probe and the Enterprise crew. There is no other Trek book that presents this so vividly and so bluntly and so convincingly.
