5.0 out of 5 stars Look out universe, here comes Lwaxana!, November 2, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Federation Travel Guide (Paperback)

The Daughter of the Fifth House is as hilarious as ever in this little book. She tells you everything from the most incredible places in the universe (i.e.- Risa, the Amusement Park Planet) to places to avoid at all costs (Romulan Star Empire, Borg, Dominion) to where to get the best plate of haggis. Even her rating system had me laughing so hard I almost split my sides! A must-read for anyone planning to travel the galaxy in a couple centuries or the Trekker looking for a laugh.

Even though every Star Trek fan knows almost all the trivia information in this book it is a nice filler. If you're going to roleplay in the Star Trek universe it provides a good background for location hopping on alien worlds.

Being a hard core trek fan and collector, this book is on my shelf. That said, it has some interesting verbage and pictures to it. It is what it is, a small little cash maker for the publisher. I could see where it would be helpful if someone were writing a trek book and needed a small amount of quick reference material.
