Post Comment to: TNG Novel ENGINES OF DESTINY Doesn't Quite Hit the Mark

Message you're replying to Pure bollocks By Plaid Ninja This book was CRAP. Utter crap. I posted my feelings on it a while ago, but would be more than interested in reposting a rant about this. I still mourn my $8+tax. "DeWeese has fun here in this alternate universe, giving us glimpses into alternate versions of some of our favorite characters" meaning a slapped together episode filled with fanboyish references in an EXTREMELY contrived setting. "DeWeese also portrays Scotty as a driven, tortured man obsessed with a singular goal, the rescue of his long-time captain and friend, at the cost of the entire universe." No, Scotty was portrayed as the biggest moron in the universe. Seriously, there's no way Scotty would have risked the timeline like that, without any real information to go on, for just one man. No way. "DeWeese never fully expands upon the thought of when the problem with the Borg's infiltration of the Alpha Quadrant actually began. While he manages to get close to the subject, he never seems to address it in the overall context. However, he does manage to tie the novel in to future hints of what we saw occur in FIRST CONTACT, so perhaps his thread is a precursor to what eventually happens in the feature film." Actually he took a bad idea (Borg Queen, time travel to birth of federation) and made it 1000 times worse. I'd say how, but I'd be spoiling it for anyone who wants to lose money, though really, if you want to lose money you could donate it to me through my amazon account. I'd have no problem taking it, and you wouldn't lose the hours spent reading this. No mention is made of the slap in the face to TNG fans of Picard, who towards the end of the novel, basically kisses Kirk's ass and says he was acting like a petty bitch through most of the novel because he was jealous of the loyalty Kirk's crew has for him. OMFG... yeah, it gets that bad. Trust me, do not buy this book. Compose your message		Status You are not logged in. To post, you must enter your login information as well.
