2008-10-19 Boldly Going Where No One Has Gone Before...

I'm not the biggest fan of William Shatners Kirk, but this is a good a story that I enjoyed reading. It centres around Kirk and his Crew, Picard and his and Zefram Cochrane. For the most part it was well thought out, good sci-fi, with a good story. However, there were parts I didn't like.
Firstly there are a few more grammatical errors in the text than you would normally find in a trek book, and then there is the plot to the story, now I havn't seen every episode of TOS, but I didn't 'get'the storyline featuring Cochrane and the Companion, the sideline love story. I also thought the parts of the book featutring the Companion, were a bit plodding.
However, I particularly enjoyed the Borg-Ferengi-Romulan-Preserver plotline at the core of the book, and thought the plot involving the two Enterprise crews was a damn good read, and yeah, maybe it would have made a better film than generations, but personally I enjoyed watching Kirk die, as it should have been a significant turning point in the shows lineage. Thus an Epic moment, anyway....
This IS a good book, that maybe could have been amazing.
