Not a GREAT Star Trek story, but a solidly above average one; decent plot, good characterization, good pacing, competently written. Moderately amusing plot twist to solve the main issue. Nothing spectacular, but well above the mid-point for the genre.

A great book.The two parallel universes really kept me confused for a while.And Spot,cute as ever(esp. if you're a cat person like me)totally steals the show.One of the great ones.Recommended.

One of the better Star Trek books. And Spot plays a major role! This is probably DeWeese's best Trek novel.

Of the hundreds of Star Trek Novels now available, this one novel had something that clicked.

I do not know if it was Spot, or what. But something different was alive in this novel.

The debate is still open whether Spot is male, female, or other.

Good Star Trek book to start with if you are just getting into the series.

Strangely enough, this was the last Star Trek title released by this author. This is especially disconcerting when taking into consideration that Gene DeWeese could write such an outstanding novel that entails Data's cat Spot becoming the hero of the novel! I found the author's writing style to be very fast paced and highly intriguing, lending to a very quick read.

The cover art for this novel is pretty much standard fare for the time in which it was published.

The premise:

The Enterprise encounters a strange nebular dust while exploring an unknown region of space. Within this nebular cloud they discover a planet called Krantin, where "all" life on the planet is dying. After a series of explosions and a ship disappearing into thin air, Captain Picard and crew begin to believe there is another group that is behind the destruction.

The leader of the planet believes the Enterprise and her crew are behind the plot against them and has the away team arrested. As time is running out Data and believe it or not, Spot must find a way to save their crewmates and the planet.

This is a highly intriguing and fun STNG novel to read and I highly recommend it to all fans of the Star Trek fiction genre. {ssintrepid}

Star Trek-The Next Generation: Into the Nebula written by Gene DeWeese is a well-written action-adventure book. The star in this book is Spot, Data's cat. If you like cats and are a cat person you'll love the Star Trek adventure.

This book is an ongoing space adventure as the Enterprise and her crew are on a routine exploring mission. When the Enterprise encounters some strange nebular dust. Upon further investigation, a planet known as Krantin is discovered, but something is unusual as the flora and fauna are dying and the Enterprise crew starts to investigate as to the cause.

In this story Data must find a way to save the Enterprise crew from certain disaster, but time is running out... as worlds are being destroyed Data is the only hope... but Spot plays a stellar role in this book. The book was exciting to read and kept my intrest and I just loved Spot's roll.

This book was good entertainment and was fun to read.

An uninteresting, totaly predictaple plot, the same kind of ending (if not worse...), no character development... This wasn't one of the best books, but it held fairly well with good writing, an interesting idea (although poorly handled), and 'screentime' for many characters, including the greatly ignored cat, Spot. It's worth one read, I think, but nothing you'll remember later.

If you like cats you'll love this Star Trek novel. You have to wonder who exactly saves the *Enterprise* was it the people or Data's cat Spot. If you like star trek then this book should be on your must have list. If you don't like star trek well think about it if you like animals then you'll like this book because an animal will save the ship. Well, I would recomend this book to anyone.
