Another Great "Ships of the Star Fleet" Publication, November 7, 2006
This review is from: Ships of the Star Fleet: Akyazi-Class Perimeter Action Ships (Paperback)
For those who have a copy of Volume 1, Ships of the Star Fleet, covering most Star Fleet's capital ships (Cruisers & Frigates), Volume 2, this volume will be largely familiar in format and execution.
It is a well-executed work loosely following the format of works such as "Jane's Fighting Ships" with extensive additions regarding the rationals and political processes involved in the development, construction, histories and records of the classes and individual vessels of the classes of Perimeter Action Ships (circa 2290-91) covered by the volume.
I have both Volumes (1 & 2), and they have provided me with quite literally hundreds, if not thousands of hours of rapt enjoyment. I dearly wish that more volumes were available. As it is, I want dearly to buy a second copy of this one as well as Volume 1 (to replace my now somewhat dog-eared and damaged from years of being poured overe for hours at a time), if I can find another copy of Vol. 1.
I unhesitantly, heartily recommend this work for the library of any Star Trek (emphasis on the Kirk, Spock & company-era movies) enthusiast, especially if you (or they) are interested in the type & quality of information that allow you to absorb what's offered in the books and, at your heart's desire, extrapolate from what's already there into your own overview of what would be happening in the Star Trek: The Movies universe including such things as "how would I employ these assets in how I choose to intrepret the social, political and military environment in this era?"
What else can I say? It's a great book for those interested in this kind of information, including, of course (but not limited to) those who have Volume 1.
Bravo!

An excellent continuation of the reference started in Vol. 1, April 6, 1998
This review is from: Ships of the Star Fleet: Akyazi-Class Perimeter Action Ships (Paperback)
This book is similar in every aspect to that of its predecessor, by the same author. As noted in my review of Vol. 1, this book has some contradictory information with Vol. 1. I am suprised to learn that these were the only two books in this series, which has a high quality factor.
