Book Reviews of Rosetta (Star Trek Enterprise)
Book Review: A moderately good "Star Trek: Enterprise" novel
Summary: 4 Stars
This story is set in the "Star Trek" universe during the period of Archer's "Enterprise." The "Historian's note" places it between 27th December 2254 while the Orion women were passengers on the Enterprise as described in "Bound," and January 19th 2255 when the events of "Demons" begin. As another reviewer has pointed out, these dates appear to be a century too late. I presume this must have been a typo and the story is actually set between 27th December 2154 and 19th January 2155 !
As the title and cover indicate, the most important character in this book is Ensign Hoshi Sato, and her work translating alien languages and trying to develop a universal translator is central to the story.
The book starts with a strange and very powerful alien race blocking trade routes in defence of what they appear to regard as their territory. Both Enterprise and various other star nations attempt unsuccessfully to communicate with them. Can Archer, Hoshi and the Enterprise prevent the situation spiralling down to a devastating war ?
Not everyone will like this book - a few of the plot devices have been over used in the series and are a bit tired - but I thought it was one of the better Star Trek Universe books that I have read.
