This is the first Star Trek book I've ever read......

I have just finished reading The Last Stand, and it is the first time I've ever read a Star Trek book. To be honest, I don't even know much about Star Trek, and the only Star Trek TV show I've seen is a handful of The Next Generation episodes. I have read over 300 fantasy novels, and wanted to try something different. In the end, I give this book 5 out of 5 stars, and would give it 6 out of 5 if I could. The fact that I don't even read books of this genre, and I don't even know anything about Star Trek and gave this book 5 out of 5 stars means it is obviously an awesome book. I took it on a vacation with me to read while traveling, and ended up finishing the entire book on my flight before I even got to my destination, that is how good this book is. The Last Stand has an awesome plot, and is written in a very smooth and appropriate flowing writing style that anybody can appreciate. The storyline in this book is amazing, and captivates you immensely. The book starts with an amazing story that captivates you through the entire book because not only do you want to know what happens in the crisis, but you also want to find out more about how the crisis began. I've been dissapointed with alot of books that started out with a great storyline, and then fizzled with a poor ending. However, this book was definately not one of them. The start, middle, and ending of this book were all amazing. The book had a touch of mystery, technological wonder, battle, plot twisting, humor, the whole nine yards. A salute to Brad Ferguson in providing a great reading experience on my first Star Trek novel adventure.I am not a professional reviewer, and to be honest this is the first time I even bothered to review a book, but I was so impressed with it it motivated me to write a review and even order two more Star Trek books. Great job Mr. Ferguson! GET THIS BOOK!!!...

Best TNG Book I've read so far!

This book is great. Could not put it down. It has a great story and focuses not only on the enterprise crew but also the aliens. Presider Hek is a great character. Everyone should read this book

NICE BOOK

This is the best star trek book i have ever read. It has an outstanding story and excellent characters. This book is about alien invaders who attack an enemy they have been searching for for a very long time. They are finally close to their target when Picard and his crew show up. He tries to get the two groups to resolve their conflict, but the invaders have waited too long for this moment. The drama is high as the invaders approach. What will happen? Will they attack, or will the Enterprise work something out in the nick of time? You'll have tho read the book to find out the answer to that one. I definetly recommend that you get this book and read it twice. You will not regret it. Thank you.

WOW !!!

Hey, this is the best StarTrek book, I've ever read
