Review # 1 was written on 2016-05-30 00:00:00 Dr. Cocktavius This was my first foray into reading Star Trek fiction. I love the original series and TNG desperately and have dabbled a little bit into DS9 and Voyager. It was interesting to think of some stories from new perspectives, but this certainly isn't required reading. There are a couple really stellar stories though (no pun intended). |
Review # 2 was written on 2020-09-09 00:00:00 Daniel Hong I'd probably push the rating to 3.5 stars if I could, but it's a short story collection with a definite --if moderate -- downward slope. It's the final volume in a decade's worth of short fiction competition, and it's a tribute to fanwank of all sorts -- many continuity gaps and wish fulfillment scenarios are played with in these stories. Unfortunately, they open not only with the strongest section (the TOS and TNG stories), but also the strongest story. A story so surprising and poignant, it leaves all of the other tales (especially in the post-TNG sections) in its dust. But I will say this...in spite of the remaining stories being quite the pick-and-mix (from earnest to bonkers), it's all worth it to read that opening story, and its deep emotional power. |
