Star Trek

            
            
             Task number: 22; Write a book review for the newspaper.
             Perhaps the most important quality of a good novel based on the Star Trek TV series, or for that matter on any TV show or movie, is the correspondence between the plot of the book and that of the source. One would expect at least a bit of harmony and accordance between the spirit of the loved science-fiction series and that of the books based on it.
             Although this book had several moments of suspense, I would not say that this is a masterpiece by any means. Perhaps the author simply does not have what it takes to write a good Star Trek novel. In my opinion, the plot is too far-fetched. In a TV episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, when Ro Laren betrayed Picard to join the Maquis, he had a look of extreme contempt on his face. I find it highly unlikely that he would be so friendly towards her, let alone trust her again, like the book suggests. This is but one example.
             The lesson I learned from my experience reading this novel is this: If Mr. Vornholt is the author of upcoming Star Trek novels, don't waste your time reading them. On my personal reading scale, I give this book a 6.
