Is Vulcan's Heart the newer one, or Vulcan's Forge? Whatever it is, I read the older one, and I didn't like it. I don't know what particularly it was that I didn't like, but... Well, let's put it this way: Usually I read a Trek book in a week or so. I think that one took me about three weeks. Granted, I was reading another book at the same time, but it still wouldn't have taken me so long if it had struck me as any good. :-)

TSN: Vulcan's Heart came after Vulcan' Forge, so you read the latter. I also read Vulcan's Heart, since I borrowed it from Justin, and it only took me 2 days to finish the book. But then again, I was trained to speed read and whenever I read a Trek book, I get into it and can't keep it down.

I agree with Xentrick. One thing that's often overlooked about the Shatner books is that, while they may be ghost-written, they employ very good ghost-writers.
Though I wonder if that terms even applies? Shatner has never made any great secret about his role in the process.

What is Shatner's part in the process of writing a book? Is he there to make sure his character is a babe magnet?

I think he comes up w/ the storyline. The Reeves-Stevenses write the actual words that go in the book. Though I might be wrong about this...

Shatner's role is to use his face to help sale the book.
