                    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 
                    good money 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. 
                   
                    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.
