5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, September 3, 2001

This review is from: ENTROPY EFFECT (CLASSIC STAR TREK 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

This was the first Star Trek book that I read and I was completely amazed. With splits in the space-time continuum, fate rests on Spock's shoulders. There is also some great personal and romantic sub plots that give a deeper meaning to life on the Enterprise. Find this book and buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Firmly in the top 10% of all Star Trek novels, August 21, 2007

[Review written Nov 2004]

This is one of the earliest Star Trek novels, and still ranks among the best in the genre. It's a fast no-frills read, weighing in at only around 225 pages, and the story involves murder, intrigue, theoretical physics and a classic time travel & save-the-universe type plot ... a theme that has since been mined nearly to death by a host of imitators over the past 20+ years.

By today's standards, it's a bit short, and I wished the authoress had spent more time exploring some of the interesting new characters she introduces, and not rushed the plot along quite so quickly ... but it's still an enjoyable read.

It's one of the few books in my Star Trek collection that's on my periodic rereading rotation.
