The Romulan Prize

"The Romulan Prize" is a TNG novel by the very talented author Simon Hawke. It's a good insight to the Romulan culture, with a plot that holds out throughout the book. The novel is set late season 5, and captures the atmosphere of the TV-series most exemplarorily. The story has many twist in it, and the book is extremely visual, making it an entertaining book to direct in your mind. The book had one dissapointment, though. It was the fact that it centered too much around the characters that, perhaps, are allready overused in the show. But those characters were fortunately portrayed extremely well. And one more complaint goes to the unbeliavably unintelligent and ridiculous storyline, that shows our own cave-man Commander William Riker trying to make matters better by kikking some Romulan butt on the holodeck. It was like watching a Hollywood action film.But if you're looking for good characterization and story that feels exactly like an episode of TNG (if not better), this is the book.

Overall, one of the absolute best trek books I've read. It has a mixture of awesome action and suspense and mystery. The characters are well written and stick closely to the show, and the premise keeps you guessing until the end. A definite must read for trekkers, and for those who haven't read trek books, read this one first!

For a TNG book, this definitely deserves 5 stars. There's excellent character interaction. There's a good amount of action, as well. Overall, entertaining Trek material.

This is an excelent book about a Romulan attempted capture of a Federation ship to learn the secret about the undercover Federation world of Hermaticus 2. A world few Federation officials even knew about. After a perfectly planned hijacking, Picard must play with the ego of the cocky Romulan comander aboard the Syrinx. Cut of from their captain the crew must formulate away to escape from the cluches of the Romulan Prototype before reaching the forbidden quarintined world of Hermaticus 2. Simon Hawk's great book should be read by everyone bent on reading many of the books in The Next Generation Series!

The Romulan Prize is a awesome book for Star Trek Lovers of all ages. In the Romulan Prize a new Romulan captain tricks the crew of the Enterprise into thinking his new Romulan Warbird is disabled. He then takes Enterprise to Hermeticus 2 a planet within a planet THAT The Federation has under quarentine. But I'll just let you find out for yourself because this is a awesome book!!!!!!
