Best Star Trek Novel I've Ever Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This entertaining story details the beginning year of the famous Starfleet of the United Federation of Planets. The basic storyline consists of a power struggle between explorers and military leaders-both groups intent on shaping Starfleet to their own needs and ambitions. I really enjoyed this aspect of the story. I also grew quite attached to all of the characters, especially the captains of Starfleet. And at the end, I love how the bickering captains all finally realize that they must work as a team to make Starfleet successful. A great read!
Everything ENTERPRISE should have been
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
As some reviewers are unaware, this book was written well before ENTERPRISE appeared on television.Starfleet: Year One is a truer Trek and would have been a better premise for a Trek prequel.I like ENTERPRISE, but I liked Starfleet: Year One even more. Very well done.
This is what trek should be
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I love this book. If you like star trek and you thought enterprise was to be a Daedalus class starship then everything that you expected is in this book. I love the idea of going pre-trek and building the history, we have advanced as far as the writers can go and now trek is stale, but to go back to when the final frontier was just opening up to us and reading about men and women pioneering the stars, Gene would have loved it and to the naysayers, go watch tv I say and miss out on what has been very satisfying to the starving masses who want to enjoy trek for what it is...good science fiction.
THIS BOOK RULES!!!!!

ignore the naysayers. this book has a flawless storyline, influential characters, and an excellent plot. the whole book gets engineered toward the question-power of the guns or the mind? the whole book shows this numerous ways. this is an awesome book!!!!!!!!!!
Finally, DAY ONE!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
After almost an era in the Star Trek writing, there was not much (not to say nothing) about how the Starfleet actually began its existance. Pieces here and there, but... never a whole picture--only a concept. So, if you really want to know more about the beginning of the saga, this book is for you!
