raptorimperator's review against another edition
5.0
I was surprised by this book. It was the first Shatner book I read, and I was amazed. I enjoyed it, and found the writing fairly good. What I most liked was that the characters seemed like the characters and not just characters who with the same name. Bravo Bill! Good job!

OK are we positive that Shat remembered to send this on to the Reeves Stevens team for a re-write. Because they are pretty solid and I found this Trek novel to be a total snoozer. No offense to the Shat.

Having read, what I now know were the last two books in this Totality trilogy in 2008 & 2014 respectively, I was surprised when I came across this book last year (2021).
This is, however, more of a standalone novel that just sets the stage for the events that take place in the remaining two books, that's not to say this is in any way a bad or uninteresting read, far from it.
Primarily this revolves around the characters of Kirk & Picard who take a joint holiday on Bajor, but it also includes flashbacks to one of Kirk's first missions as the Captain of the Enterprise.
The characterisation is spot on for both Captains, as are all the other well-known figures with the accompanying humour and bantering between them.
This was a pleasure to read, invoking all the feelings of watching a good episode of TOS or TNG, plus there are quite a number of tie in references to many of the Trek series and films some of which may take you by surprise.

Post Star Trek Generations novel where Kirk & Picard go on an adventure holiday together and end up solving murders and mysteries. Enjoyable but not his best
