I don't understand this, but when you analyze the release dates that kind of makes sense. I did see someone mention somewhere that the author may not have even been able to see an episode of this new series before writing the book. A few characters here and there seem to have been developed correctly, but it seems like that's all by chance. I'm also big on details, as anyone can tell who have read my reviews.Īs many other reviews have pointed out about "Ghost Ship" is that the story concept is pretty good, but the characters are all wrong. By that, I only really enjoyed "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Maybe it's because I was born in the early 80's, but for some reason I really can't get into Classic Trek, and I had a hard time really getting into "Deep Space Nine." Therefore, for me it's all about "The Next Generation." Seriously, I have all the episodes on DVD, I own all the comic books and now I've delved into the novels! I guess I'm a pretty big "The Next Generation" fan at the very least. I can't say that I'm the biggest Star Trek fan by any means. If anyone here makes candles and wants to make me an evergreen and musk scented one called Riker, I will be your BFFL My only main question and seeming plot hole was - who created the ghost ship? The introductions were basically good, although some of the events just had not happened yet (like Wesley wasn't an acting ensign until later on). The other bad news for me was that the first part of the book had nothing to do with the Enterprise, and for a series opener I don't think it's a great tactic. She writes a great story but didn't quite get some of the personalities and relationships right - she really couldn't have though. It is amazing to me that she concocted this on, what I imagine, was not a lot of source material to go off of. The bad news? Diane Carey hadn't seen an episode yet as this was written (I believe) at some point before the series aired. As a new crew, the members are getting to know each other and quite a bit of introduction and introspecting is taking place.
I decided to start re reading some of the Star Trek books in between more serious reads.Īlways a good idea, right? In Ghost Ship, by Diane Carey, the Enterprise is investigating a gas giant when strange phenomena start.
