Customer Reviews

Loved it

I did not expect to genuinely love this book as much as I did! As a huge fan of the X-men, I will say they were under-used and some of the characters seemed off. Like Archangel swooping around the halls of the Enterprise just to be a brat doesn't seem like something he would do. Some were just there as part of the team and didn't really get to do anything, some did have a minor part but a critical role. The friendship between Worf and Wolverine is fantastic! As a fan of Star Trek, and having read some TNG novels, this is an outstanding Star Trek book! Very well written, even the characters created for this book have well thought out personalities and some character arcs. All in all a great book that I would definitely recommend (more to Trek fans than X-men fans though)

An excellent way to bring together two genres

Outside of watching "The X-Men" movie and looking forward to the next one, I'm not a huge X-Men fan. That being said, this book absolutely floored me. I couldn't put it down and read it in two days (if I wasn't working 18 hours a day at that time it would've been one day). MJ Friedman has with this Star Trek installment, once again, shown why he's one of the top selling Star Trek authors. Thanks to the author for a great read.

Just a Lot of Fun

This is a book that shouldn't be taken all that seriously. It's just a fun read. Fans of both "Star Trek" and The X-Men will have a good time with this. Underused characters such as Banshee and Nightcrawler are treated well in this story.

An interesting work

This book was an entertaining read, even though some people don't seem to appreciate it. Maybe since I am not a huge Star Trek fan I am missing some misuse or something to offend the people reading, but this book was exciting and fun to read. If you want something that will keep you interested and having a good time, read the book.

X-citing

totally fantastic. awesome. mindboggling. When i learned Michael Friedman's writing this book, it's sooo cool. His storytelling never ceases to amaze me. I loved the interaction between Worf and Wolverine and not to mention that between Picard and Storm. I'm even gladder to own the comic prequel before this book came.

Mutants and Starfleet- a winning combo

This book was great. I picked it up at a used bookstore and coulden't put it down. The story was goood, and I liked the author. It was neat because the planet they were on, the teenagers were mutants, and it was cool to see their powers agenst the X-Men's.
