(back to the main page)


TITLE: THE FEARFUL SUMMONS, book #74

By: Denny Martin Flynn

Brief Summary: Takes place a few months after Star Trek VI.  Unknown Aliens kidnap Sulu and his top officers. Kirk and his other retired friends, form a crew on this old ship and rescue Sulu.

Rating: 70%

I thought The Fearful Summons was unrealistic.  First off, who wants to read about a bunch of old geezers, trying to survive - yet another - action adventure?

 

I also didn't like the unrealistic story line of Kirk sleeping around yet one more time.  Okay, it is consistent to Kirk's character I suppose, but realistic? come on.  The aliens that this book introduced were mildly amusing - at best, but not very enjoyable to read about. They're just your average religious, primitive, four-legged freaks.

 

Lastly, this book was too wordy for my liking.  I can't comment too much more because I tend to forget what I do not enjoy.
