Book Description

June 1, 1998 Star Trek: Captain's Table (Book 2)
There's a bar called "The Captain's Table", where those who have commanded mighty vessels of every shape and era can meet, relax, and share a friendly drink or two with others of their calling. Sometimes a brawl may break out but it's all in the family, more or less. Just remember, the first round of drinks is always paid for with a story... even if you're Jean-Luc Picard.

For more than two hundred years archaeologists and treasure hunters have dreamed of Dujonian's Hoard, a fabled trove of priceless historical artifacts that may contain technology that will shift the galactic balance of power. A dream was all the hoard seemed-- until a former Starfleet officer goes in search of the treasure and turns up missing. Now everyone from Romulans to Cardassians to an enigmatic female starship captain is looking for Richard Brant, including Worf and Captain Picard, who have gone deep undercover on a secret Starfleet mission to rescue Brant, if he's even still alive...

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than the First, but Still Lacked a Real Plot, June 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Dujonian's Hoard (Star Trek The Next Generation: The Captain's Table, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
"Dujonian's Hoard" was without a doubt a very good book. I prefer it to the first book in the Captain's Table series, though that might subconsciously have something to do with the fact that I prefer reading about Captain Picard over Captain Kirk. In my opinion, Friedman did an excellent job of portraying Picard. He was very much in touch with the traits of the character he was writing about. However, there is something that this book lacked: a plot. The name of the book is "Dujonian's Hoard", though, to be honest, it does not seem like the book was based around the Hoard. Perhaps if the author would have made the characters talk a bit more about the Hoard, it would have seemed that way. Instead, it was about Jean-Luc Picard and Red Abby. This is not a bad thing, mind you; I enjoyed this book being about Picard and Abby. Also, there seemed to be a lot of things included in the storyline that made no sense. For example, when Red Abby commands the Romulan Warbird into Hel's Gate, she had pirates following her in. They did not follow her out through the other side. What was the point of even writing those pirates into the book? To show that Hel's Gate was a hazard? Plus, at the beginning of this story, Picard walks into the Captain's Table and sees a model ship just like the one he built as a kid. The author used a lot of emphasis on this note, making the reader think that it would play a part in the story, perhaps near the end. However, it played no part in the story whatsoever. Will this incident come back to haunt me in a later book in the Captain's Table series? Captain Neil Gleason entered the pub with Picard, and vanished. The author made it seem like Gleason was abducted or in trouble. That notion consumes the reader's mind ... and in the end, it was a build-up for nothing. Though, despite all of these critical opinions, this was a really good book, and the ending involving Picard and Abby was not at all bad. For a moment, there was actually a time reading this book where I thought Abby had died. I should have known better. This title deserved an average 3 stars, just like it's predecessor. Michael Jan Friedman is still a good writer, and I will soon be reading book three of the Captain's Table, "The Mist".

4.0 out of 5 stars Treasure Island, Star Trek style, June 9, 2001

This review is from: Dujonian's Hoard (Star Trek The Next Generation: The Captain's Table, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
The concept of a bar full of starship captains spinning yarns to each other is an appealing one and Picard's tale for the quest of a stash of treasure stolen from the Cardassian homeworld, eons before that race had evolved, had me rivetted to the seat. The only problem was, though Jean-Luc Picard was telling the story, I couldn't help picturing that more flamboyant adventurer, James T. Kirk, acting out through the story. But it was a gripping yarn, nonetheless!

This review is from: Dujonian's Hoard (Star Trek The Next Generation: The Captain's Table, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Michael Jan Friedman writes another amazing tale. This book shows once again Picard's incredible desire for archaeology. My second favorite Captain's Table book (favorite being Once Burned).
