Revisionist Romulans,
By
This review is from: Rihannsu : My Enemy, My Ally (No. 1) (Star Trek: The Original Ser., No. 18) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Romulans used to be my favorite Star Trek villains. I read the Rihannsu series because I thought it would be a fun exploration of Romulan culture and history. However, I barely recognized the Romulans in Rihannsu. The book degrades them and seems to radically alter their characters. The main character, Ael, seems too perfect, while the rest of the Romulans seem like a bunch of buffoons. Furthermore, the book radically changes Romulan history that just doesn't seem realistic. It's too bad - the Romulans as presented in the Original Series were fascinating characters who had both honor and deviousness. The Romulans in Rihannsu have little of either.

The Best Romulan Book There Is,
This review is from: Rihannsu : My Enemy, My Ally (No. 1) (Star Trek: The Original Ser., No. 18) (Mass Market Paperback)
Enter the dangerous world of Romulan Politics fought across the naked stars. Where Honor is everything, or nothing, and a fantastic story awaits.The author has a gift for writing the canon characters of Kirk, Spock and the rest as well as numerous new ones seamlessly integrated whom we get to know. The action is brisk and logical. The finale rivetting. There are touches of humor and nods to sci fi fans of all kinds and the story keeps moving along so we never get bored waiting for something to happen. Read this with The Romulan Way. |
