A review by octavia_cade
Day of Honor Omnibus by Michael Jan Friedman, Dean Wesley Smith, Diana G. Gallagher, Jeri Taylor, Diane Carey, L.A. Graf, Kristine Kathryn Rusch
adventurous
fast-paced
3.0
I read and reviewed the six Day of Honour novels collected in this brick of a book separately, so this is basically for my own records. On the whole it's pretty average: adventurous and fast-paced, and more than one of the novels here rushes their ending, which is a bit of a shame. Still, four of the six got three stars from me. As for the others: Ancient Blood was by far the worst of the lot. It got a grudging two stars from me, largely due to the absolutely idiotic plot with Picard and Alexander. Diane Carey is usually one of the Trek authors I enjoy most, but she missed the mark by a long way with this one.
At the other end of the scale is the four star Armageddon Sky by L.A. Graf, which is pretty damn good and the only one of the six that I'd ever bother to read again. I want my own copy of it, in fact - and half the reason that I keep recording books and reviews on sites like this one is that it allows me to make a note of the books I want to buy print copies of in the future. This was published way back when, so it'll likely have to be a secondhand copy at this point, but I still want it. Graf did a great job, and Armageddon Sky is the pick of the honourable litter.
