interesting

A good light read. I emphized with Jim, but it seemed a little to contrived and drawn out - with everything a little too artifical. Slightly confusing in parts, I would borrow it from the library but not but it myself

A quick reading book

I enjoyed the plot. It had a few poor transitions between events but if you look past them the story flows well.

Great sequel!

Shatner is getting to be a great writer and I was really impressed! I liked the first book so much, I bought this book while it was still only out in a hardback version just so I could read the sequel right away! I think they should have the sequel come out in paperback sooner though. I do not often pay hardback prices for this type of reading.
