Grand Designs (Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers)

Star Trek, 2007

Disappointing
Grand Designs is the least of a very good bunch. The others in the series take a problem and have an ingenious engineering solution. These stories are rather pedestrian and none would be included in the previous volumes. Avoid this one.

A Time to Harvest (Star Trek The Next Generation)

Dayton Ward, Kevin Dilmore

Star Trek, 2004

EXCELLENT TREK
"Harvest" is a fantastic conclusion to this two part story. It is full of the kind of excitment that those of us who love Trek expect. This novel takes off at breakneck speed and does a wonderful job at tying a TV episode to itself as well. It gives a great plot and offers yet another look at the "Next Generation" crew in the kind of fantastic action that fans have come to love. I highly ...

Star Trek, 2007

Great!
This book integrated wonderfully with the origional shows except for the last "book" which was new but great material. Mirror universe gives this series new life and lots of opportunities for diversity. A wonderful read and I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to more "Mirror Universe" ST books.

Mark Twain: An Illustrated Biography

12 reviews
Geoffrey C. Ward, Ken Burns, ...

Knopf, 2001

A Treasure
This illustrated biography of one of America's most memorable and beloved authors holds quite a few surprises for the unsuspecting reader. Anticipating anecdotes from Mark Twain's life that would portray him as a kind, altruistic, and loving man, I was shocked to learn he was also an irrascible, guilt-ridden, tight-fisted lover of alcohol and cigars who was often looking for ways to get rich. He ...

Miracle Workers, S.C.E. Book Two

7 reviews
Keith R.A. DeCandido, Kevin Dilmore, ...

Star Trek, 2002

Continued Good Reading.
I can't say much in this review of Book 2 of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers that I didn't already say in my review of Book 1. That is, it's great! Well-written, believable, and very entertaining, with nods to continuity throughout. If you're not reading these, or the DS9 re-launch, then you're missing out on some great stuff. An added bonus in the back of this publication is the S.C.E. ...

Star Trek: Vanguard #2: Summon the Thunder (Star Trek)

16 reviews
Dayton Ward, Kevin Dilmore

Star Trek, 2006

One of the best Star Trek Series
I have to say that I didn't think I would like this series when I first bought the books. That said, this 3 book series was very entertaining and well written. I enjoyed the books so much that I have sought out others by David Mack, who wrote the first (Harbinger) and third (Reap the Whirlwind) books in the series. Suggestion: don't read this book first. Get Harbinger. It is worth it to get to ...

The West: An Illustrated History

Geoffrey C. Ward, Dayton Duncan

Pub Overstock Unlimited Inc, 1996

Where The Buffalo Roamed and the Cowboys and Indians Rode
The promos for "The West" series on PBS seemed to imply that Ken Burn's following up to his incredible "Civil War" epic would be as good as the Civil War was. And it was. Burns was able to capture the whole panorama of the history of the West, and left no stone unturned. Here was the saga of the pioneers, the cruelty of the buffalo hunters, the tragedy of the Native Americans, the bravery of ...

The Last World War

Dayton Ward

Pocket Star, 2003

Solid entertainment.
The Last World War is a fast-paced page turner that generally doesn't disappoint in the action department. It is much like a good "popcorn movie." It entertains without making you think too much. If you liked movies like "Signs" or "Independence Day" you'll like this.

Have Tech Will Travel (Star Trek) (Starfleet Corps of Engineers 1-4)

11 reviews
Christie Golden, Dean Wesley Smith, ...

Star Trek \ Simon Says, 2002

The concept that they shoulda used for the new tv series!
I picked up _Have Tech, Will Travel_ and couldn't put it down. I found myself thinking "this is what Enterprise should be!" What put me off originally besides the techy sounding title was the fact that it was compiled into novellettes, billed as short stories by different writers. I really don't like short stories because, you know, they just get interesting and then they end. But the way it's ...

Foundations (Star Trek: S.C.E.)

Star Trek, 2004

Landru returns
In this e book series the spotlight is on Scotty and his early days forming the S.C.E. In this tale the Landru computer is reactivated and Scotty must solve the problem. With the help of his engineering friends of course. For all it's worth, it's a good story featuring Scotty as the star of the book. I'd like to see a seperate e book series featuring his early career after this one. Scotty's ...

The Genesis Protocol

3 reviews
Dayton Ward

Phobos Impact, 2006

Interesting and Suspensefull
The Genesis Protocol is a surprisingly intimate story, the majority of which takes place within the confines of the EDN project. As such the story is heavily dependent on the reader quickly identifying with the main characters and Ward expedites the character development with built-in relationships that allow you to do just that. Senator Christopher for example, who arrives for a fact finding ...

In the Name of Honor (Star Trek, No 97)

14 reviews
Dayton Ward

Star Trek, 2002

A solid, entertaining story
It's about time. I used to love the Star Trek novels to the point that every other book I read was Star Trek. But lately, it seems that they are just cranking them out to capitalize on the franchize without any concern for quality. Many of the recent novels have been poorly written, with characters that don't act or speak like their on-screen counterparts. Most of the books are written by the ...

Texas Pride: A Tale of the Last World War

Amazon, 2007

Dayton Ward "Hits Another Home Run" with Texas Pride: A Tale of the Last World War
This short story by Mr. Ward titled" Texas Pride: A Tale of the Last World War" is a great read. The story is a "stand alone" tale of, in short, of humans encountering a hostile military Alien invasion. However, for fans of "The Last World War' also written by Mr. Ward, this short story is a special treat, and only makes the reader want to read more in hopefully in a not too distant future ...
