To see the reviews of the novels in this collection, you should go to their individual pages. All I can say is that I bought this from Amazon.com and haven't regretted it. It is a great series, even the young adult book. It is also considerably cheaper that buying each of the books separately. The only disadvantage to this edition is its size. It isn't nearly as easy to carry around as the single editions.

Day of Honor ominbus is a excellent set of books containing all the novels from the series. Being a Kirk fan i particularly loved the first book Treaty's Law by Dean Wesley Smith and Kristin Rusch. The other companion novels featuring Sisko, Worf, Picard and Torres are equally good.

The entire 'Day of Honour' series is absolutely pathetic, some of the worst Star trek writing I have ever seen. At first, they look promising, the whole idea seems solid and interesting, but when you actually get down to it, they are nothing more than hopelessly pathetic stories typical of pocket books more recent publishing efforts. TNG part of the story starts off with some ridiculous story about a planet experiencing political upheavals, and Worf is sent in with a SI officer to sort out the mess. Meanwhile, Worf asks Captain Picard to take Alexander on some sort of 'Day of Honour' holodeck program. The story on the planet is mildly enjoyable, but it follows a set formula and the ending can be guessed easily. Picard and Alexander's quest is nothing more than Diane Carey writing about what she knows, Earth naval traditions, and while slightly interesting, contributes very little to the plot. The DS9 story also seems promising, but the characters drag the initial dialouge about the Klingon war way too far. Their trip to the planet becomes a blood bath, so don't expect very much from this story. The Voyager story is slightly more interesting, Torres being the obvious focus of the story, which involves her surviving an ordeal in an enemy prison camp. An interesitng story, and probably the better of the series. TOS story is also pathetic, and is written in a very simple, very organised fashion, much the way a children's storybook is written. The characters are boring and it is obvious when you read the first chapter what is going to happen, very poor writing indeed. The Voyager novelisation doesn't really deserve too much comment, it's a fairly simple novelisation of an interesitng episode, little more, like most Star Trek novelisations. I hope Pocket books never tries to celebrate the day of honour again.
