Product Description

There's more to Starfleet than exploring strange new worlds. When serious technical know-how is required, Starfleet sends in an S.C.E. team, such as the one stationed aboard the U.S.S. da Vinci. This topflight assemblage of engineers and technical specialists is a mixture of extraordinarily talented humans and exotic aliens, including P8 Blue, an insectlike alien who specializes in analyzing structural systems, and a single, unpaired Bynar, unique among his species. Under the command of Captain David Gold, the crew of the da Vinci takes on the down-and-dirty, hands-on jobs that only they can handle.

HARD CRASH

An alien starship of unknown origin has crashed into a planet inhabited by a large and populous civilization. Accompanied by Geordi La Forge, temporarily on loan from the Starship Enterprise™, the S.C.E. investigates the mysterious vessel, only to discover that the ship was not nearly as damaged as it first seemed. Now the berserk ship, which seems to possess its own life and intelligence, is on a rampage across the surface of the planet, and Captain Gold and his crew face the awesome challenge of trying to stop a starship gone insane!

5.0 out of 5 stars STSCE #3 Hard Crash - A beautiful and well-crafted story!, November 23, 2003
By 
K. Wyatt "ssintrepid" (Cape Girardeau, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
"Hard Crash" is another fine example of outstanding authorship by Christie Golden. As is usual with one of her stories, she throws in a feminine touch that brings about a subtle and very poignant atmosphere to the story. As is also usual with one of her outstanding stories, her plot setup and pacing is perfect, making for a quick and highly enjoyable read.

This cover art for this third title in the SCE series serves well in continuing to show the readers the characters that largely populate the series.

The premise:

A strange and rather resilient ship crash lands on a planet in a highly populated area, fortunately for the residents there was enough warning time for the entire population to evacuate the area. Starfleet gets the call and the USS da Vinci is called in to render her services. Once on the scene, an away team is sent to the ship where they soon discover a dead alien in the command seat, 110 is rebuffed by the computer system and the ship, thought to be disabled, comes back to life...

What follows from there is a very poignant page turner that once again reaffirms Christie Golden's status as one of Star Trek's premier authors. I highly recommend this title to any and all fans of not just the SCE series but Star Trek in general. {ssintrepid}

4.0 out of 5 stars New series - old friends, April 14, 2001
By 
Hal R Courchesne (Sault Ste Marie, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
I think what I like about this series is that we are seeing characters from just about all of the tv series.

This book is the 3rd look at the StarFleet Corp of Engineers, nicely written (if not a little short in pages). I enjoyed seeing the evolution of the main characters and look forward to the further adventures.
