Things look bleak for Captain Archer. Held accountable for
genocide on a scale undreamt of by the nascent Starfleet,
the USS Enterprise is recalled to Earth, while the
Vulcan high command use its example as evidence that humanity
unprepared for the responsibilities of deep space exploration.
I
have never understood the need to publish novels which are
based on TV episodes. And while Ruditis work is all well and
good, it is just the reworkings of a TV cliff hanger.
While
Shockwave was an average Star Trek cliff-hanger
it is a below par novelisation. I couldn't see why I should
be enticed to purchase this? I couldn't see why I should pay
£12.99 to read a little more than the episode provided
on screen.
If
you ask me this is over priced, over hyped and to be honest,
not worth the paper it is printed on. Only the saddest of
the sad fans will seek this out. Normally Pocket Books come
up with the goods. Sadly this is not the case here.
The
price for this novel is only £1 less than the actual
episode. Please don't buy this and hopefully then Pocket Books
will get the message. Their original books are great, but
rewritings of TV episodes are pointless and, frankly quite
sad.
