Summary: The Beginning Of Starfleet
Comment: This novel by veteran Star Trek writer Diane Carey is based upon the first 'Star Trek: Enterprise' episode, Broken Bow. It lays the foundation for the formation of Starfleet, which of course came before 'The United Federation Of Planets', and includes some events leading up to the aquisition of warp technology (this book is more detailed than the television version) including a bit more about Zephran Cochran, the inventor of warp drive on earth. This is really fascinating stuff. The plot and storyline are good, as is character development, required reading for any serious Star Trek fan. This book also goes into some detail concerning the start of Vulcan-Terran cooperation and mutual trust and respect, very interesting coverage here. This is great science fiction on any standard, well worth reading, written in an easy to read, flowing style.

Summary: Enterprise Rules!
Comment: I don't know what some people's problem is with Enterprise, the show, or the books. Both are incredible. I love all the Star Trek series, but Enterprise (and it IS Star Trek people, so get over it) is by far my favourite. It is just so awesome. They've got a great cast of characters, played by excellent actors, with great episode plots. The writers and so on, are doing a great job, that is not easy, because they have to recall all the things about the other series so as not to mess up the timeline. If they do once in a while, give them a break, they have three other seven season shows, and one 3 season show to recall.
The book, Broken Bow, is awesome. I should have read it after I saw the premier not before. The premier was great, but the book really goes into more detail, with some extra scenes and more in depth characterization. So, watch the premier first, then read the book, and it'll all be good.

Summary: Excellent adaptation of a fine episode.
Comment: In this book, Diane Carey once again demonstrates what she is capable of when not attempting to show how cute and clever she can be with the language. In many of her earlier works, her writing was almost indecipherable due to a tendancy to try to find new, unusual uses for perfectly good words. More and more, in her recent efforts, she has gotten away from this quirk, and the result has been some truly fine writing; this is one of the best so far. The story itself is not as good as her story in "Day of Honor, Ancient Blood", but that isn't her fault. In this case, she is writing a novelization of an existing episode, and she does a solid, workmanlike job of it. The episode is good, just not as good as the best ideas that Ms. Carey has had on her own. This story is an excellent introduction to the "Enterprise" characters and storyline, and Ms. Carey's treatment of it is very worthwhile reading.
