   Book Review


This substantial volume brings together six novels, all set in The Captain's Table, a bar where ships' captains from many worlds throughout history can gather to drink, talk, and brawl. The price of the first round of drinks is always a story, and each captain settles back to spin a yarn.

Captains Kirk and Sulu meet some unusual reptilian aliens in an intriguing adventure, while Picard goes undercover in search of a missing Starfleet officer and a legendary Cardassian treasure in a fast-moving tale. Sisko's brush with a mysterious race of invisible phased matter aliens, on the other hand, is slow and talky. The pace picks up again as Janeway describes her experiences as a deck hand aboard the ship of a comparatively low-tech culture where, marooned, she has to work her way up from the bottom. Peter David's creation, Mackenzie Calhoun, relates his experiences as First Officer of the Grissom under the vengeful Captain Kenyon, and Christopher Pike searches for the origins of a species of spacefaring whales.

Most of these adventures are well-written--and feature some excellent aliens--and their first-person narration gives a more intimate feel than most Star Trek novels. --Elizabeth Sourbut, Amazon.co.uk
