3.0 out of 5 stars Vampires and Star Trek., June 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: BLOODTHIRST (CLASSIC STAR TREK 37) (Mass Market Paperback)

One of the rarer Star Trek novels, Bloodthirst was one of the first of many Star Trek novels and novelizations to be done by J.M. Dillard

A little on the dark side for a Star Trek novel, but then we discovered that Dillard writes Star Trek novels around darker plots.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vampire zombies prowling the Enterprise, April 17, 2008

This review is from: BLOODTHIRST (CLASSIC STAR TREK 37) (Mass Market Paperback)

Responding to a distress call to an isolated research facility the Enterprise crew stumbles upon a horrifying discovery - vampires are real. Unfortunately they discovered this only after some of the Enterprise crew had been attacked. While McCoy frantically searches for a cure Kirk begins his own investigations into the origins of the problem, an investigation that will lead into the very highest levels of Star Fleet.

Overall and despite it's rather unlikely theme BLOODTHIRST is one of the better enteries in this long-running tie-in series. The plot has enough twists to keep the reader guessing, even though it is a foregone conclusion that all the regular Enterprise crew will survive, and that McCoy and Kirk will be successful. The only flaws are an exchange between Sulu and Chekhov that portrays them as sophomoric idiots rather than superior junior officers on an elite ship, and tendancy to drag a bit towards the end. Dillard has introduced some interesting original characters and managed to strike a good balance between time spent developing them without ignoring the original crew.

Sure, and it makes for a great read! The story is plausible and well written. Even the supporting characters are well-rounded. It honestly gave me chills to read it...
