Blaze of Glory (Star Trek Next Generation 34)

Surprisingly enough, this was the third and last Star Trek novel for this excellent author. I would definitely have thought he would've made more trips into the Trek universe, but alas that's not the case. I found his writing style to be very fast paced, making for an excellent Star Trek The Next Generation novel. It would definitely be nice to see this author make a return to the Trek universe someday!The cover art is pretty much standard fare for the time in which this novel was published, nothing special.The premise:The Enterprise is temporarily assigned to the planet K'Trall which has just come out from under the yoke of barbarous suppression. Captain Picard and crew soon find that they must deal with a pirate ship of a sort that has been attacking Federation shipping. This intriguing ship just happens to be an old Constitution class starship equipped with a cloaking device. Along with dealing with the rogue ship, Captain Picard must also deal with the Romulans.The planet itself holds a deadly secret as well and Captain Picard soon finds that he not only has Federation shipping to protect but millions of lives on the planet as well.I highly recommend this numbered STNG title as you will find it to be one of the best published at that time and it's truly good, fast paced and intriguing Star Trek fiction. {ssintrepid}

A space pirate has been harassing federation shipping lanes. Picard and Co. are called in to lend a hand. They uncover a brilliant tactican using, as his base the hulk of one of the first starships. What makes this book interesting is that always in the back of your mind there is a little vocie saying "could it be the enterprise?" a great read.

It's a space pirate novel. But it's a very good space pirate novel. It's easy to read, interesting, and if it doesn't offer surprise, well, at least it's entertaining.

An interesting story with great characters. One of the best trek books i've read and i've read a lot. Read it my friends
