4.0 out of 5 stars Adaptations of some of the first episodes of the original series. Some deviations from the plot are a step backwards, August 2, 2007
By Charles Ashbacher "(cashbacher@yahoo.com)" (Marion, Iowa United States(cashbacher@yahoo.com)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This book contains some of the first adaptations of episodes in the original Star Trek series written by James Blish. Published in 1967, the mindset of the sixties regarding what is acceptable is still very apparent. As is the case in all of the other adaptations done by Blish, he does not stick precisely to the plot of the episode. In most cases, it is a debatable point as to whether the changes are an improvement.
The episodes adapted in this book are:

*) Charlie X
*) Dagger of the mind
*) The man trap
*) Balance of terror
*) The naked time
*) Miri
*) The conscience of the king

The adaptations of episodes in the original series served a very important role in the transformation of Star Trek from a television show with a science fiction format into a massive cultural movement. They were the first Star Trek books to appear, and helped prove that there was a market for such books. However, as a Star Trek purist, I often find the changes from the original episode to be a deficiency.
