Exciting and Scary

Imagine for a moment, the scariest and most foul thing you can think of. Now, take that to the power of 100 and you will have the creatures in the Invasion Book series. First Strike is the first book in a 4 book series which travels over all 4 Star Trek shows. The Enterprise crew comes across a species so foul looking, that they can't even bare to look at them. This species, appears to come in peace, but as we know, that always isn't the case. I don't want to give too much away, but this book is very exciting and well written. All 4 of these are unique, but I felt that Book # 1 was the best. Even if you don't care for Star Trek books, you should read these. I could hardly put the books down.

Great Book! Nice start to the Invasion! series.

Diane Carey is an experienced writer for the Star Trek book series. She definitely shows her experience with this book, the first of a four-book series, entitled Invasion!. The book flows just like an episode of the show; the characters act just as one would see them acting on the screen. I am not a big fan of the original series; I am more of a next-generationer. Still, I loved this book! It is wonderfully written, and it really makes you think. Invasion! First Strike keeps a great pace; it does not get boring. I started it at 10 PM last night, and found myself still up at two o'clock when I finally finished it. It is definitely impossible to put down. Don't make the same mistake I did; when you start it, make sure you have time to finish it. The book introduces a race of creatures called the Furies. They are supposedly demons, such as those in ancient mythology: medusas, devils, etc. They were defeated in a grand battle five millenia ago, and banished to the other side of the galaxy. They have returned, and are looking for proof that this is indeed where they used to rule. Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise must disprove this theory, or at least convince them not to destroy civilization. This proves to be a difficult task. If you like Star Trek, BUY THIS BOOK!

Nice start to the series!

I am more of a fan of TNG and DS9 than I am the original series, but I found this book to be very good. It shows how Klingons and Humans CAN work together to fight a common goal. If you are a big fan of the original series, you are going to love this book. If you like the other series better, like me, your still gonna love this book. It makes you want to pick up the next one in the series and read all night

Good Stuff

This is the first book of the INVASION! Series, and I really enjoyed it, which surprised me because I don't often read Star Trek books. There was HUGE action and a really absorbing plot. Can't wait to read INVASION! Book 2

A unique storyline that encompasses the future & the past.

This book manages to bring together the Star Trek world with myths & legends from the deep past of Klingons & humans. Ms. Carey is a writer who uses clear & descriptive language & has captured the psychology behind the relationships of the main characters. It also uses humor as effectively as the best Star Trek episodes & books do. An enjoyable read for any Star Trek fan.
