Tunnel Through the Stars

Well here we are again with the next generation crew of the starship Enterprice as they battle their way through the Dominion War book 3 called tunnel through the stars so grab one and enjoy reading. Rondall Banks

Book 4 continues on from book 2 (book 1 and 3 should be read together as a different series). I enjoyed seeing the many twists this book had to offer and how Picard coped with it all. The horrors of war were better flushed out as Riker's new conquest turns depressing, something I much enjoyed. Troi gets some time to do something, and since it's tied with Riker it was fun to read. Picard's ragtag team on the Orb of Peace was quite fun to read, especially when they encounter new people in the Badlands and take aboard an interesting one-armed 'guest'. That character was very refreshing, esp. due to his appreciation for Picard. It is sad to see the Enterprise tied at a starbase for most of the series, but it was quite necessary to accentuate the brilliance of Picard. A little romance b/w a few characters was actually quite well done, although somewhat unexpected from Ro's behalf methinks. I loved how Picard manipulates Grof to help him by strengthening his ego. The author really makes Picard shine, as it should be! The cover of this book is very misleading, never does the Enterprise attack 2 Cardassian Galor-class ships. Its eventual turnout is very expected, but it still made me smile despite the predictability. Data's presence was very welcomed and it was good to see Geordi's response to him. Both series (1 & 3, 2 & 4) are essential turning points in the War. If either Sisko or Picard had failed, while the other succeeded, it would all be for nought, which makes this 4 part series somewhat intertwined. Personally I prefered books 1 and 3 to 2 and 4 since 2 and 4 were for the most part taken straight from the TV show whereas the TNG part was fresh and in accordance with the established characters. If you love Picard, then reading what he did to save the Quadrant in books 1 and 3 will be worthwhile.

This was a good book filled with original and good ideas. It has lot of action and unexpected, suprising events making this book very good.But I think it focused too much on Ro Laren and the others. Only Captain Picard and Geordi are really involved in action. And the Enterprise and its crew are stuck in a starbase so dont expect whats on the cover. And why the Enterprise lower shields while firing torpedos.

This was a really good book and I'd recommend it to anyone. Although it didn't have the Enterprise in battle like the cover suggests, it was still good. At first, when the first book came out and featured Ro Laren I thought, "Oh no, this book must be so weak it needs a well known guest star to make it good." But I was proved wrong.

In his second novel of the Dominion War series, Tunnel Through the Stars, John Vornholt crafts an incredibly exciting science fiction story that surpasses the previous Dominion War books in most respects. The story is a direct continuation of Vornholt's first entry in the series, Behind Enemy Lines, and follows Picard and his unusual crew as they attempt to destroy the secret Dominion project that threatens to doom the Federation. Along with this formidable task, Picard must also deal with a deadly threat from within his own crew. The novel is entertaining from start to finish as Vornholt creates a story that successfully combines elements of mystery, suspense and action. With all of these essential elements in place, Tunnel Through the Stars earns its mark as the best Dominion War book yet.
