Book Description

Star Trek: Vanguard, Book 3 May 22, 2007
REAP THE WHIRLWIND continues the story line of the previous VANGUARD novel, SUMMON THE THUNDER. In this third installment, the investigation of mysterious star system leads to a downed ship, a collision of military forces, and a difficult decision that will shatter lives and careers. REAP THE WHIRLWIND chronicles the race to solve an ancient mystery concerning a remote and unknown region of space, one that holds a highly coveted, mysterious, and potentially cataclysmic secret. At the centre of this intrigue is an eclectic mix of Starfleet and civilian protagonists unlike any crew previously seen in Star Trek, whose turbulent lives aboard are painted against the backdrop of an evolving storyline as the layers of the mystery are steadily peeled back, one after another.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT NEW SERIES, May 22, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reap the Whirlwind (Star Trek: Vanguard, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)


With the 3rd volume of this Vanguard series now out Star Trek readers can safely state with approval what a good series this seems to be. I enjoy the new Vanguard series equally as much as the S.C.E. series as each is very distinct in it own way.

I'm impressed with the number of pages in these volumes: with the 2nd book being larger than the first, and now this third volume of equal length. And a fourth Vanguard volume is scheduled for future release.

If you read Star Trek books, you might want to give this Vanguard series a try, the books are impressive with their colorful art covers, and the first volume contains a very nice fold out.

Not too late to get into this series, as only 3 have appeared.

Better 'beam one up' today

Semper Fi.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Return to the Taurus Reach, June 20, 2007
This review is from: Reap the Whirlwind (Star Trek: Vanguard, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
It's difficult to keep up with a continuing series when the books come out a year apart. "Vanguard: Reap the Whirlwind" (published May 2007) is the third book in a series that started with "Vanguard: Harbinger" (published July 2005) and continued with "Vanguard: Summon the Thunderer" (published June 2006).

In the case of ordinary Star Trek books this perhaps wouldn't matter quite so much, everyone knows who Kirk, Spock and McCoy are, or Picard, Ricard and Data. But this series brings in a completely new cast of characters. Set in the period of The Original Series, it is placed on a space station in the distant Taurus Reach, an unexplored area contended for by the Federation, Tholians, and Klingons. It also contains a deep secret in the form of a massive genome left behind by a dormant, extremely ancient, and massively powerful people.

That said, there are a few characters from TOS, and in one case what might be a section of suspense isn't because anyone who has seen "The Wrath of Khan" knows a particular character is not about to die. But there's also a delightful surprise at the end when another character from that film suddenly appears.

Picking up "Reap the Whirlwind" a year after reading its predecessor, it takes a while to get up to speed. Author David Mack does a good job of reminding us who everyone is, and there is a very helpful "Vanguard Minipedia" in the back of the book, which unfortunately many readers may not discover until they get to the end of the book.

The story is good, many threads come together, and the book brings up interesting issues of ethics (or personal feelings) versus duty, or whether a potential threat to the survival of billions is worth a much more certain threat to thousands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!!! Book 3 is great, June 3, 2007
This review is from: Reap the Whirlwind (Star Trek: Vanguard, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
David Mack Is becoming one of my favorite authors and book 3 of the Vanguard series is the best in the series so far. You learn more about the storys lines of book 3 than both of the other books. If you have not read any star trek books you need to read this series.
