3.0 out of 5 stars First of the Dillard "Dark" Star Trek novels., June 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Demons (Classic Star Trek 30) (Paperback)

Star Trek Has it's happy novels, it's action novels, its romance novels, and its dark mind controlling novels.

Demons is one of the first of this kind of novel. If you want to find the root for many of the more recent "evil intelligence" Star Trek novels, then seek this one out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A genuine chiller, May 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Demons (Star Trek, No 30) (Paperback)

This book is the second of J.M. Dillard's "dark" TOS novels(the first being "Mindshadow",and the third being "Bloodthirst",look for these novels too,their all good,but not for the faint-hearted),and in my opinion,the best.The book is genuinely chilling,and some parts really made me shiver uncomfortably(bittersweet ending,though).There are parts that are very sweet,however,without being cloying,such as Amanda's(Spock's mother) relationship with her brother-in-law,Silek.The plot probabally influenced writers of such TNG episodes such as "Power Play".Oh,and the entities will return in "Possession",a TNG novel,this is also a great book,as spine-chilling as the original,so look for it.Plot:In the remote Hydrilla system,a Vulcan archealogical team uncovers many strange black boxes that will not open.The boxes are rumored to have had something to do with the extiction of the native Hydrillans centuries ago.Suddenly,suspicious "accidents" occur,and many members of the team die mysteriously.When the remnants of the team return to Vulcan,more accidents happen.Only,these aren't accidents.An evil,malevolent force has invaded Vulcan,and Spock's own father soon becomes possessed by it.Soon,the Enterprise too,has been infected by the entities,and member of the crew are becoming violent and bloodthirsty,commiting horrible murders.Now Spock,McCoy,and a beautiful young ensign are the only things that stand between an all-consumming evil,an evil that has killed an entire race,and will not hesitate to do so again.(Note:This book is currently out-of-print,so if you can find it,buy it.)

This is a dark...DARK novel. I recommend also picking up the authors other Trek novels. Very well written. The plot is good, the characters are engaging, and the crew is witin the established "norm" in their behavior. Nothing weird, just a good story.
