Avenger by William Shatner

4.0

Yeah dude this book is weird. The villains and their scheme is interesting but hard to believe. Kirk has a super weird characterization where he thinks he’s Spock’s dads son. There is plenty that is enjoyable in this book though. When I started the Shatnerverse I wanted to see old Kirk, old Spock, and old Bones interacting and this book delivers on that. For fans of the original series this book is kind of a treat because of that. Also it references an episode of the Original Series that isn’t often referenced which is nice. Furthermore, there is a crew that they interact with which is clearly supposed to be a younger version of the original crew. I could see some readers finding them cheesy but I quite enjoyed them. The plot is weak, there’s some dumb places they go with Kirk, but I just think any original series fan will enjoy it. If you are one of those psychos that don’t like Star Trek The Original Series definitely don’t worry about missing this one.
