5.0 out of 5 stars A genuine chiller, May 13, 1999
By A Customer
This book is the second of J.M. Dillard's "dark" TOS novels(the first being "Mindshadow",and the third being "Bloodthirst",look for these novels too,their all good,but not for the faint-hearted),and in my opinion,the best.The book is genuinely chilling,and some parts really made me shiver uncomfortably(bittersweet ending,though).There are parts that are very sweet,however,without being cloying,such as Amanda's(Spock's mother) relationship with her brother-in-law,Silek.The plot probabally influenced writers of such TNG episodes such as "Power Play".Oh,and the entities will return in "Possession",a TNG novel,this is also a great book,as spine-chilling as the original,so look for it.Plot:In the remote Hydrilla system,a Vulcan archealogical team uncovers many strange black boxes that will not open.The boxes are rumored to have had something to do with the extiction of the native Hydrillans centuries ago.Suddenly,suspicious "accidents" occur,and many members of the team die mysteriously.When the remnants of the team return to Vulcan,more accidents happen.Only,these aren't accidents.An evil,malevolent force has invaded Vulcan,and Spock's own father soon becomes possessed by it.Soon,the Enterprise too,has been infected by the entities,and member of the crew are becoming violent and bloodthirsty,commiting horrible murders.Now Spock,McCoy,and a beautiful young ensign are the only things that stand between an all-consumming evil,an evil that has killed an entire race,and will not hesitate to do so again.(Note:This book is currently out-of-print,so if you can find it,buy it.)

2.0 out of 5 stars Quite a disappointment., November 15, 2001
By James Yanni (Bellefontaine Neighbors, Mo. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is far from the worst Star Trek novel I've ever read, but truly it isn't very good. Those who've read other novels by J.M. Dillard are likely to be seriously disappointed in this effort. The characters are handled competently enough, and there's plenty of action for those who read Star Trek purely for thrills. But the basic plot is rather weak, and were it not for the blatant intercession of a very active author-deity, the good guys would have lost this one.

I'm told that back in the days of the movie western serials, Hopalong Cassidy was once trapped in a box canyon, no way out, and hopelessly outnumbered by the approaching bad guys. Then the writers realized that they had written themselves into a corner, so when we "tuned in next week", the story began with "After Hoppy got out of the box canyon..." This story reminded me of that anecdote, notably in the segue from chapter six to chapter seven.

Sloppy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mary Sue-ish, October 11, 2009
The original character has promise but turns out to be a too-powerful throwaway babe. It was rough watching McCoy act completely goofy for her, to the point of picking fights with Spock over her. Did they time warp to Starfleet High? J.M. Dillard is a fantastic writer ("Bloodthirst", "The Lost Years") but this one falls short.
