THE HISTORIC SAGA BEGINS

Customer Reviews

Rihannsu: The Blood Wing Voyages

This is a fantastic, and invaluable book for any who would like to learn about the deep and intricate culture of the Romulan Star Empire. The Star Trek universe is largely devoid of info on Romulans and this work does for the Romulans what was done for the Klingon race through out the 1980's. The book even goes so far as to establish "Romulan-isims" with a word glossary in the back.

Ri'hannsu: The Bloodwing Voyages (Star Trek)

Diane Duane is simply the best writer in the Star Trek universe. Every novel she has written has been exciting, engrossing, and entertaining. With her, you gain a keen insight into the minds and histories of all aspects of our favorite Universe - the crew of the Enterprise, the other members of the Federation, the Vulcans, and in this series, the Ri'hannsu (Romulans). One should read everything she writes; you won't be able to put them down. She makes it very real, and she has the skill to make readers believe that they are there. She is exacting in her research (she accurately conforms to the ST series) and science, physicists will appreciate her details, but she makes it understandable to the scientifically challanged. She is also a brilliant psychologist and political analyst. She can even make her villians likeable and well-rounded. Her books are better than chocolate.

The Better Romulans

Very well wrtitten and with good plots, it's the book all the Romulans loving people should read.

An excellent Trek novel

Fed up with dull Star Trek novels? here's something far better. Journey through time to the founding of the Romulan Empire, with a people devoted to passion over reason, elemental powers, and an unutterably complex form of honor. Noted fantasy author Diane Duane has written a series unlike any others. Along with Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and other friends, this book features Ael, a Romulan traitor who values her personal honor over the empire, the crystal spider and Hamalki physicist K's't'lk, and other brilliantly original characters. A great series for any Star Trek fan, definitely not to be missed.
