Product Description

For three full decades, on television and in film, actor William Shatner has portrayed one of the legendary heroes of science fiction: James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the Starship Enterprise™. Although Kirk was believed to have perished at the conclusion of Star Trek® Generations™, his amazing literary resurrection led to an acclaimed trilogy of national bestsellers, The Ashes of Eden, The Return, and Avenger.

Now William Shatner again brings his unique blend of talents as an actor, writer, director and producer to the conclusion of the new trilogy begun with Spectre and continuing with Dark Victory, as two men -- and two universes -- never meant to meet are drawn closer together toward an inevitable and destructive reaction....

PRESERVER

The deadly and tyrannical Emperor Tiberius, formerly captain of the I.S.S. Enterprise, had great success turning captured alien weaponry to his advantage, but his failed attempt to sieze the tantalizing advances of the ancient First Federation has always rankled him. In the more peaceful universe of the United Federation of Planets, Tiberius sees his second chance. And a new ally will help him take it -- the counterpart for whom he has nothing but contempt, the man whose U.S.S. Enterprise™ made first contact with the First Federation: Starfleet Captain James T. Kirk.

Honorable, Idealistic, and decent, James T. Kirk is many things Tiberius is not. But he is also a man deeply in love with his wife -- and Teilani is dying. To save her life, Kirk will compromise his ideals and enter into his most dangerous alliance yet.

Battling Captain Jean-Luc Picard and a new generation of Starfleet heroes, Kirk will guide Tiberius to a long-abandoned First Federation base. There, he expects to find a source of power so great it will enable Tiberius to conquer the mirror universe -- and his own.

But on their journey Kirk will uncover long-hidden secrets about the past that raise the stakes far beyond the mere survival of Kirk's family and friends to nothing less than the continued existence of both universes.

At the heart of their quest, something else is waiting: an object from a civilization whose technology is far more advanced than any Kirk or Tiberius could expect to acquire, placed there for Kirk's eyes only by the mysterious aliens who appear to have influenced life within the galaxy over eons of time -- a message from the Perservers....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great conclusion, July 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek: Preserver (Hardcover)
Shatner followed up the shortest Trek novel he has written with the longest. The first two books had a lot of questions, and PRESERVER delivers the answers to all of them in a very satisfying conclusion. Paramount should take note of Kirk's continuing popularity and bring the character back on film. The fans want it, and so does Shatner. And PRESERVER's ending was on such a high note that no true Kirk fan could feel unsatisfied. I can't wait for Shatner's next book, and I hope he continues bringing life to the Kirk character for years to come. And as for the TNG crew, it's ashame the writers on TV don't show the original series as much respect as Shatner shows TNG. I found myself clapping out loud for some of the moves Picard pulled in PRESERVER. The friendship between Kirk and Picard has developed over the Shatner books, to a great level of respect and comraderie. As is the case with the original series, TNG fans should love this book as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shatner preserving Star Trek, June 14, 2000
This review is from: Star Trek: Preserver (Hardcover)
Starting with Spectre, crossing over in to Dark Victory, W Shatner now enters the final conclusion of his acclaimed trilogy. And what and ending he delivers. Once again teaming up with Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens the reader are brought on a journey trough the universe. Who are the preserver, what was their intentions and how does their creations have an impact on the universe of today? These, among others, are the questions that is answered in this amazing story about Kirk, his mirror-universe counterpart and the universe as we know it.

If ever there was a book bok not to miss, then this is it. But make sure to read the series in its total, there is no substitute for the whole story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beam Me Up!, June 24, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek: Preserver (Hardcover)
Preserver is a great conclusion to Shatner's cliffhanger series. Dealing with the mirror universe, Kirk must work with his evil counterpart, Tiberius, to get what he wants, and to try to stop possible universal armageddon. This book answers all the questions from its predecessors. I read all that came before it, and I thought those sort of got worse as they went on. But this book does a really good job clearing things up, and I think it's the best in this latest trilogy. It is full of suspense too. I suggest this book to any Star Trek fan. I also suggest that you read the trilogy that came before it, and the other two of this trilogy to get a better idea of the story.
