Star Trek: The Academy: Collision Course

A reviewer

I thought that captains glory was a great novel and a good story. If this is the last one with a older kirk then i,m happy with the way it ends. shatner gives it a end but still leaves it open for more books. I think that shatners star trek novels have been better then the last 4 movies put together. Shatners star trek novels are what the TNG movies sould have been like, full of action, adventure, drama, comedy, suspense, everything that made the original series and movies so excellent. If your a star trek fan then you sould try reading shatners trek novels.

Starting Point...

A story about two young adults trying to find their place in the world and how an unforeseen event changes their lives forever. It's an inspiring story to see these two individuals overcome the obsticales they face along their paths that lead them to the same destination... The starting point to their future careers in starfleet. Besides, it's an inside look before Kirk became a Captian and Spock became his First lieutenant.

I throughly enjoyed the book and could hardly set it down. I'd only recommend this to people who like space exploration/Sci-Fi Stories. I can only hope that they will publish the next series "Trial Run" to see where Kirk goes next and who else he'll meet along his way.

I wish Trial Run would be completed!! Hey Bill, get on that will

I wish Trial Run would be completed!! Hey Bill, get on that will you ? Collision Course for me was outstanding!! When the new Abrams Star Trek movie was release, I was hoping that it was this book!! It wasn't and the movie was ok. This Book, Star Trek Academy: Collision Course, will be a GREAT movie. I feel that it is closer to what actually happened to all of the characters. Unlike some others posting here I have only read it twice thus far...However I think It is time to start again.

Need the next book,,,,,

I just wish he would publish the next book.

A fun read

A fun read about Kirk and Spock's early life at the academy. A mystery unfolds.

Entertaining but contrived.

Collision Course is an entertaining read that shows us how the legendary Captain Kirk started on the path towards his destiny. The book is well written and fans of the original series will delight in the portrayals of young Kirk and Spock. However, the book is not without its flaws. I don't want to give away too many details, I will say that major parts of the story line are never fully developed. The reader is left hanging. Not knowing what the overarching villain's ultimate purpose was. Major portions of the story were also obviously contrived. This does not detract from most of the book, but becomes ridiculous towards the end. Despite these flaws, Collision Course is still a great read.

Great Read

This is the second book I read from the Star Trek universe. Academy Collision Course was a lot better than my last read Captain's Glory. I must have liked the writer enough to try him again with this book and I am glad that i did! I found it very exciting from beginning to end. I thought the interaction of Kirk and Spock was perfect. I look forward to reading the next book in the series!

Great book!

This was the best Star Trek book I've read, and the best light reading I've read in a long time. It had all the original "Kirk" appeal: swashbuckling and humor. I loved the scene when they are trying to fly a starship and it is tilting and rolling! I loved that it was consistent with the Star Trek universe, that the Academy recruits still got to be heroes without making the Federation look foolish. I loved the banter between Kirk and Spock. The science was sound. I liked Kirk's first transporter experience. Basically it is a solid Star Trek story, within the parameters of the "real" Star Trek universe. The only things I didn't like: 1. Kirk trying to pin Spock for something he didn't do, and 2. Kirk's brother's storyline. Otherwise, a great novel for Trek fans.

Awesome

I have not yet completed the book but i must say that i cannot put it down when i pick it up. I love how both Spock and Kirk are portrayed in the story. The book keeps you on your feet and is very exciting. I logged on today to see when to expect the next book in the series!!

THE BEST Star Trek Book Ever!

IF YOU LOVE THE BORG AND/OR THE ROMULANS, I PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK. ASSIMILATED STARBASES, REUNIONS WITH OLD FRIENDS, THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BORG HOMEWORLD AND A SPECIAL STORY ABOUT SPOCK'S PAST, WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE???

Star Trek's Best

I'd have to say that this book is the best Sar Trek book I have ever read. William Shatner had 110% of my attention. I had it finished in a week.!

A Must Read for Star Trek fans

This book rocks. The incorporation of the crew of the 1701-D with several members of Kirk's crew, with the elements of the Borg and the Romulans, whom are collaborating against the Federation together, makes it an excellent and must read. FOUR STARS!!

great
