The Forgotten War (Star Trek: The Next Generation) Review

I picked up this book on a whim - as its been years since I've read a Star Trek book. At first, it was difficult to get into the writing, as I am used to books that are written on a more difficult reading level, however, when I managed to move past this, I enjoyed the book. The basic premise of having two groups of people whom are stranded on a planet and fighting an ancient, and now resolved, war is fascinating. The differences in the two cultures both from the past and the "present" fuels this book. And the ending,though it is somewhat predictable once you get into the book and understand the feelings of the two warring groups, is definitely interesting. In fact,
I loved the ending. If you're looking for a quick read, I would highly suggest reading this book. It is entertaining and the story is interesting.

War Drums (Star Trek The Next Generation, No 23) Review

This one constitutes decent Star Trek entertainment. It is set in the "Next Generation" universe. Basically, the USS Enterprise is dispatched to deal with a situation in which a very small Earth colony is being plagued by a group of Klingon aborigines. It turns out that the Klingons are children who were fleeing the Romulans (they were being evacuated from a war zone) and they crash-landed on the colony planet. In a sort of "Lord of the Flies" scenario, the Klingons revert to savagery and begin preying on the colony. Captain Picard and Co., mainly Ro, Data, Worf, and Troi, are charged with dealing with the situation.
No "Star Trek" novel constitutes great literature, but this one is solidly written, and the storyline hangs together pretty well. The author, thankfully, manages to steer clear of the overused devices of time travel and telepathy, and simply writes us a story about space travel. How novel and refreshing! I did question whether the Klingon youths would have stood up as well as this novel assumes against a technologically advanced human colony armed with phasers, replicators, and the works, but each reader can decide for him or her self.
An enjoyable read.
