[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [Then you're really going to hate the fact that the sequel to "Resistance" deals with EXACTLY the same Doomsday device/prototype Borg killer. (Both the original novel that you mention and the one above was written by the same author (imagine that?), Peter David, whom I can't stand as a Trek novel author.[/ob] [/QUOTE]I've been saying that for years- Peter David's stuff is so much...[i]crap[/i] in general with regards to Trek. He's a fine comic-book writer (with stories focusing on comedy and absurd situations- his old [i]Spider-Man[/i] run was really well done) but his Star trek stuff reads as campy as the 60's Batman TV show. Almost [i]every[/i] storyline has some TOS link too- as though there was just no history between series to draw original material from. That being said, there is [i]one[/i] great chapter in [i]Vendetta[/i] (the aforementioned Borg/Planetkiller novel) which describes a Cube assimilating a planet- tearing it apart for raw materials to make another Cube even (this was written jsut after BOBW, I think, and it makes the Borg seem all but impossible to defeat). The rest of the book is shit though- it features an old academy rival of Picard's being so jealous of Picard's fame that he has his ship [i]fire torpedos[/i] at the Enterprise when Picard does not follow his order [i]not[/i] to attack the Borg. Also, it features Guinan's long-lost [i]sister[/i] as an old love-intrest of Picard's and now she's piloting the Planetkiller with the ghosts of the machine's race looking for revenge. From a techincal POV, the new PK sounds cool (covered in spikes and ten times larger than the old one), but still travels between systems without warp somehow. A root canal of a book. [/QB][/QUOTE]
