Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Fury Scorned

I ordered one book and one movie in this order! I received the movie on the 13th of September. I have not yet received the book,

Star Trek-The Next Generation: A Fury Scorned written by Pamela Sargent and George Zebrowski is a Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise save-the-planet book.Faced with a population of twenty million and who and what to choose to evacuate Captain Picard and crew are facing steep odds. A dying sun, soon to go nova, threatens the planet Epictetus III and all that inhabits this planet. The U.S.S. Enterprise crew must come up with a solution or all will be lost.Running out of time, Data proposes a revolutionary solution to this ever growning concern... a wormhole. But, not just any wormhole, no sir... a wormhole big enough for a whole planet. I know it sounds quite farfetched, but this is scifi and anything is possible. But will this novel experiment work? Can the U.S.S. Enterprise be saved? Only time will tell and the answers are in the ending of this book.For action-adventure this is a good book as the narrative flows and it makes for a rather quick read. Captain Picard's trust in Lt. Commander Data and a solution that is highly experimental and weigh in the balance. But, this book will engage the reader till the end. This is not the best written book in the TREK universe, but it sure isn't the worst either.

This book is great for any Trek fan out there. What makes this such a great book is the fact that it places the lives of millions of people on the shoulders of one man. Just comprehending such an awesome idea is mind-boggling. It resurfaces a "worst-fear" scenario in the minds of many people, myself included. For an author to do that in a "typical" sci-fi novel is very bold. Quite a captivating read.

More of a thinking than a doing book. Captain Picard is faced with a planet with millions of people on a planet with a sun about to go nova. He must decide to either take as many people as he can and flee the nova (which will occur in less than a week) or try to move the planet through a wormhole to another star- and risk both the Enterprise and the entire planet.

I would give it an eight out of ten becuase they could have used more details about what was happening when a piece of the planet slid off.
