Star Trek Insurrection

J.M. Dillard has with, Star Trek: Insurrection done another great job of novelizing a movie! I always approach novelization's with a little skepticism as far as what's put on page between the scenes on screen. That said, I don't really do that with her work. She captures the spirit of the film perfectly and put's some really good scenes in that we don't see on film. Thank you to the author for another great novelization!

Well, she's done it again. J.M. Dillard has written another brilliant novelisation, and she really dserves credit for it. The characters were portrayed very well, and she kept to the script for the most part, adding in her own parts about the characters, Anjj, the So'na, and Worf. Although her version of the story deviated somewhat from the movie version, this is probably due to the fact she was working with an earlier script, but it didn't change the book much. Personally, I really liked it, but one part in particular was the part involving Worf. In the movie he didn't play a very big role, just normal Worf with the exception of his .... physical troubles. But in the book Dillard wrote about Worf dreaming, and encountering K'Ehleyer, his former lover. I felt this was one of best insights into his character, with his old flame inslting his relationships after(Deanna Troi, Jadzia Dax). Anyway, I really liked that. The relationship between Riker & Deanna was done very well in film and novel, the novel simply putting thoughts beind their feelings, which I thought was good. Anyway, that's my opinion. On one last note, is anyone else slightly concerned TNG movies haven't found a 'focus' yet. I mean, TOS movies had a focus around Mr. Spock's death and return, but TNG has had none of this. I am deeply concerned about this, if anyone else is feel free to email me.

I think this is the best Star Trek book and movie there will be and my reason is: I grew up in the 80's and I have really inspired the great job of acomplishments of this fine crew! my parents who grew up in the 50s and 60s liked the Orginal Series. my opinion is, its ok but I didnt grow up in that time so thats why i like the next generation. i rarely watch DS9 and very rare I watch voyager. Im sure Gene Roddenberry would be very proud of Rick Berman on what he has done since he has passed away nearly 9 years ago.

What a book! I didn't see the movie before I read this and it kept me reading on never stopping for a break.

I have to disagree with another review I just read here. The review makes many comments about how much Insurrection is like other Star Trek episodes. I disagree. Insurrection is an excellent book which, for the first time in Star Trek movie history, focuses on the people rather than the technology. It really allows you to get a very personal view of a side that we've never seen in some of the characters. For any Trek lover, it is a must.
