Product Description When something in the galaxy needs to be fixed, tweaked, investigated, or repaired, the Federation sends in the best: the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. Traveling throughout the quadrant on the Sabre-class U.S.S. da Vinci, Captain David Gold, former Starship Enterprise™ engineer Commander Sonya Gomez, and the crack S.C.E. team solve the problems of the galaxy, one disaster at a time.
Whether dealing with the legacy of Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s decision regarding the Mariposa colony, stopping an alien predator from destroying a pre-warp culture, fixing a planet-wide power outage, or repairing the damage done by the Dominion to a former ally, the Corps of Engineers is on the case!
But not all problems are technical: Dr. Elizabeth Lense deals with the consequences of her unexpected pregnancy, Security Chief Domenica Corsi encounters a Prime Directive crisis, Dr. Bart Faulwell faces a personal crossroads, and Chief Vance Hawkins must try to lay the ghosts of the Dominion War to rest.
Customer Reviews: Very tame SCE book.August 30, 2010 Adrian Compared to the previous novel in this series, this was a very tame book. There was little action, no suspense, and some confusion as I read some of the stories. There seemed to be too much focus on some personal issues of some of the minor members of the crew, as against the technical engineering challenges that the SCE novels are renowned for.
For example, almost an entire story is about how Bart can't commit to his boyfriend who has proposed marriage, and coincidentally, the mission just so happens to involve a species where women turn to men and vica versa, so an alien guy falls for him.
There were two good points.
1. The cover was attractive.
2. The societies of the alien species were interesting.
Besides that, there wasn't much in it. I skimmed through it quite quickly and was looking forward to reading another book. This SCE one didn't do it for me at all.
If you're a diehard Star Trek fan, go ahead and read this. It's inoffensive and true to the ST ethos.
But if you aren't give it a miss. There are better ST novels out there.
Uneven Collection of StoriesJuly 31, 2010 picardfan007(USA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This collection, unlike the others, has a very uneven quality to it. The second story in paticular, had alien-like chipmunks with four arms and legs. The first two stories dragged on with a very abrupt and neat conclusion. I was surprised that they didn't have the action of the earlier editions. I couldn't see spending the money to purchase these stories in their original form on the internet. While they were somewhat entertaining; I wish that this paticular series was in the $7.99 standard paperback format. Spending $16 for this oversize paperback was not worth the price.
