PLOT OR PREMISE: This is the second in a Star Trek trilogy, with renegade Romulans working with the Borg. . WHAT I LIKED: There are some decent scenes with Data, and some interesting interactions between old TOS crew and new TNG crew. . WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Most of the TOS crew are not really much like themselves, except Spock, so not very "believable". Bones is almost a caricature. Kirk and Worf have a fight that is ridiculous. . DISCLOSURE: I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow him on social media. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Just after the events of Star Trek Generations, on the planet Veridian III, ambassador Spock comes to the humble cairn, or stones, that marks the grave of James Kirk. But he is not granted time to ponder the passing of his best friend. The Borg and the Romulan Empire have a use for Kirk, and with some mysterious alien science they resurrect the fallen captain, who they hope will give them the edge they need to destroy their greatest enemy, Jean-Luc Picard. It will take the combined powers of both generations, from Spock and McCoy to Data and Riker, to meet this almost unthinkable new threat. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The Return in the title is very Frankenstein and there’s some interesting body-horror elements and nods to The Thing.
I didn’t understand the Trilex explanation at all, and have no idea how the thingies’s lined up with the other thingies to mark out the thingies... maybe i should have put that in spoiler tag :P .
A thought occurs... there’s a defiant class ship here operating a cloak with a romulan observer as per DS9, but in a manner that is a clear violation of treaties with the Romulans.
Which i have no problem with except that you’d think the Next-Gen crew and especially Riker would have something to say about that given his history with cloaking devices. Isn’t his former captain still serving time somewhere for that?
A few Notes:
* I have 5 of these books but never read the first one Ashes of Eden, and don’t feel like i missed anything.
* I have zero interest in Star-trek ToS, my trek touchstone is Next-Gen, so if your like me, you can still have a good time here. Yes it has Kirk at its core but there’s a lot of story focused on the Next-Gen crew as well.
Also even the Kirk stuff is at least a lot more interesting than anything that happened in the film Generations.
* I normally read books one chapter at a time but i found it best with this one to consume 3 or 4 at least in a sitting. This is a plot which craves momentum.
* If you’ve never tried a tie-in book i recommend you giving one a go if your in a reading slump or feeling low on energy. Since your brain already has most of the world details stored, they require very little mental effort but that doesn’t make them bad literature (even if most of them are ;) ) . ( )
