Only 200 pages so it's a fast read, and introduces the future world of SeaQuest better than the TV show, as the narrative can get around the curse of stilted expositional dialogue. The technical aspects are much more detailed in the show, so you get some neat gimmicks explained.

The story itself is OK, Bridger and the motivation of enemy commander Marilyn Stark are explored in the most depth. The reluctance of Bridger to command drags on a bit, though.

If you enjoyed the pilot, this will add a bit more depth to the background of the show.

Very descriptive depection of the pilot for the series. There are some scenes missing in the book that were added for the series, but I really like the book's focus on Bridger, and his feelings (internal thoughts) about being tricked into 'touring' the seaQuest.

A must have for any seaQuest fan.

This is a great book to read for people of all ages and people. It keeps yopu guessing and keep reading. I'm not much of a reader and stil finished the book in less then a week. I highly reccomend this book fo a class project, bcause you will have fun with it and still get the job done.

Because she is writing a novelisation of the pilot, Diane Duane is limited in the extent of detail she can go into here. However, the book is a good print version of the episode, even thoough it does miss out most of the second act, and makes some major continuity errors (it was based on an early version of the script, with the names, etc, still provisional).

For seaQuest fans, this is a must. It gives you a good insight into the "future history" background of the series, and delves deep into the character's pasts.

I Really enjoyed this book since I actully missed the 1st episode and this was a great way for me to see how the show got started.I keep this book in my room always. I read it when I don't or can't find any thing else better to read.

The book was well written, but it left out a lot of key points that I found neccessary to the story, as compared to the original script. Bridger and Stark were well portrayed, but the rest of the characters were shoved too far into the background.

I enjoyed this book mostly because I'm a die-hard seaQuest fan. Normally, I really enjoy Diane Duane's work (she has written some very good Star Trek novels), but I was disapointed in the portrayal of the characters...the character's personalities in the book didn't always correspond to their personalities in the show.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!" SEAQUESTTHE NOVEL"IS MY FAVORITE BOOK.I AM SEQUEST'S NO.1 FAN.I LOVE ANYTHING ON SEQUEST. I LOVE THE SHOW ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE BOOKS. I THINK ANYONE WHO LOVES SCFI WILL LOVE THIS BOOK AND THE OTHER SEAQUEST BOOKS.
