Summary: ST- New Frontier: Stone and Anvil
Comment: Star Trek-New Frontier: Stone and Anvil written by Peter David is an action-packed mystery book that answers a lot of questions. This book takes off from where "Gods Above" left off and the murder of Lieutenant Commander Gleau a Selelvian crewmember of the U.S.S. Trident.
This book features Captain Mackenzie Calhoun and Captain Elizabeth Shelby and their respective crews of the U.S.S. Excalibur and Trident as they begin an action adventure into their lives past and present. The past story is background information on Calhoun and Shelby as they go through Starfleet Acadamy and snipits of past as it relates to the present situation. Ensign Janos is accused of murdering Gleau and Zac Kebron is sent to investigate to see if his friend really did the murder as the evidence suggests.
This is a well-written story where the character interplay and development is outstanding. The story is fast-paced and Peter David uses his powerful mastery of the English language to open our eyes as we read on in the New Frontier genre. I thouroughly enjoyed this newest addition to the on going tales of the New Frontier.
There is personal dilemma written into the story and witty dialogue to keep you interested. I gave this story a solid 5 stars and it is worth the money to own... the only drawback is that it is a hardback book, so use you library card and check it out and read it or wait for the paperback edition which I'm sure can't be too far away. This book wraps up a lot of loose ends and gives the reader some solid background into the main characters.

Summary: Why isn't New Frontier a Movie Series?
Comment: I have really enjoyed all these books, but this book may be the best yet. The story alternates between Mackenzie and Shelby during their academy days and the investigation of Lt. Gleau's death on the USS Trident.
The academy days were outstanding, not only do we find out how Mackenzie met Shelby, but we also find out why Jellico dislikes him, and how Calhoun handles the Kobayashi Maru test.
I was hesitant about this novel because I dislike Star Trek "detective" stories. Fortunately, this isn't the case (at least not mainly). Instead the story flows naturally and ends with an ending...not a cliffhanger.
In fact, the only small item that irritated me was a couple of lines said by Ambassador Spock that included a bit too much colloquialism.
This is a excellent novel, and it should be a movie. Better yet, Peter David could revitalize Star Trek series from the Voyager and Enterprise disasters.

Summary: Stone and Anvil (Star Trek New Frontier)
Comment: Ok so we have new frontier a good take on the Star Trek universe. Funny characters good plot lines and fairly easy to read. Peter David does a good job of keeping the book moveing and keeping the charaters fun. Some of the things that the characters say are really funny and I found myself laughing. The story in this book is done in both events of the now and events of the past. The past deals with Captain Calhoun's acadamy days, and they tie so nicely into the main plot line. Also with cameos from Picard and Spock you can't go wrong.
