He does some stuff in the story and there is a relevant moment about his Starfleet career but that s all Hardly a reason to be pictured on the cover.Wesley Crusher should be on the cover since it s his triumphant return to the This is the thir...Why Worf is on the cover, I have no idea They should have put WESLEY CRUSHER on the cover, because that s right kids, everyone s favorite Traveler is

to be destroyed this is Star Trek after all , the story then becomes a question of how are they going to stop it This is slightly better than book 2, but not enough to warrant a full star bump It s a fine story, and I think Wesley was used well, not overdone, so don t let that stop you unless you re adamant that Wesley must die or somethin...The Body Electric was a satisfying conclusion to the Cold Equations trilogy Each entry in this trilogy almost represents a different genre of novel The first, The Persistence of Memory, is a black ops thriller with a bit of personal memoir thrown in Book two, Silent Weapons, isof a political action thriller, while The Body Electric brings a hard sci fi element to the story My favourite entry in the series was Silent Weapons, as I m a sucker for the political stuff But The Body Elect The Body Electric was a satisfying conclusion to the Cold Equations trilogy Each entry in this trilogy almost represents a different genre of novel The first,

story all reach for an epic scale not seen since Star Trek The Motion Picture The prose is wonderful, and I positively breezed through this novel in a matter of hours But in the end, it still feels slightly less than the sum of its parts It feels as if it should be MORE epic, MORE emotional, MORE terrifying than it isand the rather pat ending certainly works against it To say nothing of dispensing with ALL the Typhon Pact shenanigan I m not sure what to think here The elements of the story all reach for an epic scale not seen since Star Trek The Motion Picture The prose is wonderful,

like Wesley Crusher and those who don t I, for those who wish to know, am one of the former I was a wee lad of seven when Star Trek The Next Generation first came on screen Despite this, I watched it religiously and thought Wesley was the bomb There was no reason not to like Wesley since, of course, a fourteen year old kid could do everything an adult could do but better That was just common sense

this series, there are two main plots and several side stories There is the story of the conflict with the Breen and then Data s search for a way to resurrect Lal In this novel, the former was wrapped

come to expect too much from Mr Mack, but I think compared to the other books of his that I have read, this one didn t really come up to the standard I ve come to expect.Plus being a 3rd book in a trilogy, after I really enjoyed the 2nd book, this one just didn t have the intrigue and I found the resolution a bit disappointing even a bit anti climatic.It could be that the enemy in this story
