Book Review of Vulcan! : Star Trek

Vulcan! : Star Trek

Light, fun read about our favorite crew on the Enterprise trying to navigate a tricky situation with the Neutral Zone and a Romulan cruiser. Spock, Bones, and Kirk are mostly in character throughout the novel, and my favorite scenes are always the ones showing the complexities behind Spock and Bones' relationship. Kathleen Sky nails their banter perfectly.

Newcomer Natalya Tremain brings mixed reactions--sometimes she's fun and compelling, sometimes her Vulcan-hating and manipulation is irritating.

A fascinating look into how novelizations by professional writers who grew up fans of a show really hasn't changed a great deal in forty years. Fans at their core still write like fans and it shows. :)
