Book Reviews of The Entropy Effect (Star Trek (Unnumbered Paperback))
Book Review: Best Star Trek Novel Ever Written!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most Star Trek novels I've suffered through (and I have tales of suffering!) wallow nauseatingly in affection for the original characters to the virtual exclusion of what made the original series (at its best) so much fun: suspenseful and cleverly handled science fiction adventures--plain-old well-told stories!
This book is more than just a rare exception. It's actually a first-rate, polished science-fiction novel in its own right. I'll go further. It's as good as the very best Star Trek stories of the original series (the only worthwhile series in the franchise, as far as I'm concerned). Time travel stories rarely come off, even some written by the better writers in the genre. Only those writers with the knack for taking control of the inherent paradoxes--and indeed those who understand how to exploit them--really pull it off in grand style. I'm tempted to suggest that Poul Anderson, the master of such Time Operas, would have approved, had he read this novel. (Who knows?--maybe he did.)
The Entropy Effect is the best of the best. It recaptures the magic of the original series (something few movies or later TV shows ever managed), and does it to perfection.
Give The Entropy Effect by Vonda McIntyre a try. It's hard to imagine you'll be disappointed.
