Product Description

On the edge of uncharted space. . .

Captain Jonathan Archer and the crew of the Starship Enterprise™ find their way forward blocked by a mysterious alien vessel, piloted by a race they will soon come to know as the Antianna. Unable to decipher the alien ship's transmissions, unwilling to risk a battle, Enterprise is forced to veer from its planned course.

Almost immediately, they find themselves in the heart of space ruled by the Thelasian Trading Confederacy, who have also had dealings with the Antianna. The Thelasian leader, Governor Maxim Sen, is in fact in the middle of organizing a war against the Antianna, to eliminate the threat they pose to the Confederacy's trading routes.

Archer suspects Sen has other motives as well. He also suspects that there is a reason for the Antianna's seemingly hostile posture. But with the assembled races of an entire sector against him, he needs more than just suspicions. He needs facts. And only one woman can give them to him: Ensign Hoshi Sato. If she can translate the Antianna language, peace may just be possible. If not, war -- a devastating sector-wide war -- will soon result.

Dave Stern is the author of numerous books, amongst them the novelisation of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and The Blair Witch Project.

3.0 out of 5 stars Halfway Decent, June 25, 2006
By David J. Waxman "daveboyw57" (Briarwood, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I still have not finished reading it yet - I only just started it 2 days ago.
My main problem with it is the "Historian's Note".
They say that it takes place between December 27th, 2254 and January 19th, 2255.
That is highly unlikely since this series takes place in the 22nd Century and not the 23rd.
If this really takes place during the dates indicated, then they should meet up with Kirk and crew.
Where are they?!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars ST: Enterprise Rosetta, July 13, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Star Trek: Enterprise, Rosetta written by Dave Stern is a book about tranlations and the origins of the universal translator.

The main plot is about confrontation and understanding as Captain Jonathan Archer and the Starship Enterprise crew are traveling in uncharted space and run across a race of beings called the Antianna. The Antianna have complicated language and it falls upon Ensign Hoshi Sato to translate this language and find out whether they are friend or foe. As Archer stears clear of the Antianna and gives Hoshi some extra time to translate the Antianna language they run into the Thelasian Trading Conferderacy headed by Governor Maxim Sen who is all but going to war with the Antianna. The events in this book take place between December 27, 2154 - while the Orion womem were passangers on the Enterprise ("Bound") and January 19, 2155 - when a xenophobic group tries to stop the formation of an alliance between Earth and several alien governments ("Demons").

Jonathan Archer and Ensign Hoshi Sato are the main characters in this book, but Hoshi's character could have been written better as she didn't shine that well throughout this book. The book is wordy in places and get bogged down a little in the plot. Although I found that it was a fast read but the substance wasn't there and left me with a hollow taste. This book could have been written much better, but with most of the Star Trek: Enterprise series, could use a rewrite to make it more interesting.

There was action-adventure, mild as it was. There was dialog and character interaction making up most of the book, but as to deep insight this book was lacking.

I gave this book 4 out 5 stars as it was better than most in the Star Trek: Enterprise series, but it missed the mark as to the standard in the other series in the Star Trek universe. It is worth reading as you get a feel for why spacefarers need a universal translator.

4.0 out of 5 stars Origins of the Universal Translator..., April 24, 2006
In this novel we get to see how the universal translator started. While one reviewer did mention how a major character was killed and later is revealed to be alive..that is true. However it's what I expected from this show so it's nothing new. Dave Stern is better than most in writing Enterprise Trek so I'd have to give it 4 out of 5 stars because of the plot device we all know is standard Trek.
