5.0 out of 5 stars The best SciFi/Fantasy novel I've read so far, October 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Masks (Star Trek The Next Generation, No 7) (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm a big StarTrek fan, and "Masks" was one of the first volumes I purchased. And it is still one of the best I've read so far. I think that John Vornholt hits the atmosphere of the series and tells a very interesting story. The background of the planet and the mask-based society is a very clever idea and it's set up very well. I enjoy re-reading the book from time to time. The story- twists and the building of tension is truely superb. I went out buying more books from Mr. Vornholt, though none achieved the quality and depth of this piece. I really hope, that the Starship Enterprise is going to re-visit the planet of Lorca sometime in the future. I'm also very sorry, that the book is out-of-stock. I was only able to obtain the german translation, and I'm looking forward for a re-issuing of the title. If you are able to get a copy, read the book and state your own opinion! I liked the book very much for it combines the classical StarTrek SciFi background with elements of a medeavel setting. When you read the book yourself, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks for reading.

This review is from: Masks (Star Trek Next Generation) (Kindle Edition)

I just downloaded the Kindle version of this book, and it's the worst I've seen. There's almost no punctuation anywhere in the book (especially quotation marks) so it's VERY hard to tell who is speaking, and when, and about what. It's very confusing to read. The story is okay, but hard to follow since you rarely know what's going on.

4.0 out of 5 stars Behold the Wisdom Mask, November 17, 2002

This review is from: Masks (Star Trek The Next Generation, No 7) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is an excellent Star Trek: TNG book. Vornholt brings to life the planet of Lorca and the mask wearing society that calls it home. The Enterprise crew must deal with a manipulating ambassador and a visit from the Ferengi. Enjoy!
