Seaquest Dsv: The Novel

Because she is writing a novelisation of the pilot, Diane Duane is limited in the extent of detail she can go into here. However, the book is a good print version of the episode, even thoough it does miss out most of the second act, and makes some major continuity errors (it was based on an early version of the script, with the names, etc, still provisional).For seaQuest fans, this is a must. It gives you a good insight into the "future history" background of the series, and delves deep into the character's pasts.

Only 200 pages so it's a fast read, and introduces the future world of SeaQuest better than the TV show, as the narrative can get around the curse of stilted expositional dialogue. The technical aspects are much more detailed in the show, so you get some neat gimmicks explained. The story itself is OK, Bridger and the motivation of enemy commander Marilyn Stark are explored in the most depth. The reluctance of Bridger to command drags on a bit, though. If you enjoyed the pilot, this will add a bit more depth to the background of the show.

I Really enjoyed this book since I actully missed the 1st episode and this was a great way for me to see how the show got started.I keep this book in my room always. I read it when I don't or can't find any thing else better to read.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!" SEAQUESTTHE NOVEL"IS MY FAVORITE BOOK.I AM SEQUEST'S NO.1 FAN.I LOVE ANYTHING ON SEQUEST. I LOVE THE SHOW ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE BOOKS. I THINK ANYONE WHO LOVES SCFI WILL LOVE THIS BOOK AND THE OTHER SEAQUEST BOOKS.
