Here There Be Dragons by John Peel
adventurous
fast-paced
4.0
I'm not usually interested in science fiction books but this one was surprisingly entertaining. I started this book with low expectations, anticipating a crummy "dime novel", and I was correct.
There wasn't a lot of depth to the book, the plot was predictable, and the writing was weak, but it was good, light fun. As a Star Trek fan, I suspect I was predisposed to like this book, being the target audience. Reading this book was like watching an episode of TNG. It was an interesting mix of both fantasy and science fiction. Although, I was annoyed by Captain Picard's uncharacteristic gullibility. Also, the Worf side story seemed unnecessary and distracted from the main plot. "Here There Be Dragons" certainly isn't great literature, but it is entertaining.
