Book Reviews of By the Book (Star Trek Enterprise)
Book Review: A quite good early "Enterprise" novel about first contact
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me begin by saying that I believe that the world of "Enterprise" offers more potential for good scripts and/or novels than either TNG or TOS simply because in "Enterprise" mankind (along with certain aliens) is for the first time venturing out among the stars. Thus, the universe is not well-travelled, the technology does not work perfectly, the nonhuman races are truly alien because humans have limited experience in dealing with aliens. This novel does a good job of exploiting the above potentials. It is about a first contact between the starship Enterprise (Earth's first deep-space faster-than-light cruiser) and a very unusual planet which features two very different intelligent races. The plot is solid, and there is some decent character development, particularly in connection with T'Pol and Archer. This is not great literature, but the novel certainly qualifies as a pleasent diversion into the Star Trek universe--which is a universe to which I like to pay frequent visits.
