I did not get very far into this one because of the deplorable language. After the tenth f*ck in the first few pages, I had had enough. Now I am not a prude by any stretch of the imagination and have been known to say that word on occasion but my goodness...it was in almost every sentence and added nothing to the story. Profanity can help in setting a scene or tone in the right place but when used indiscriminately like it was in this book (and the others in the series) for me it indicates a lack of imagination and a limited vocabulary on the part of the author. Neither of these are attributes that enhance a book. So in summary, it might be a grand book, funny and interesting but I will never know because I am not willing to plod through the muck to find the gold.
Lame Star Trek satire that consistently goes for the soft targets and cheapest shots. One reviewer promised âeither revilement or a blind reverenceâ for the work. Put me firmly into the former camp.
There are a lot of very funny Star Trek parodies out there, most of them written by fans (and nobody can dissect the series' clichés and inconsistencies better than the fans). This isn't one of them. After several dreary hours plowing through the glory-seeking, testosterone-driven antics of one Hadrian Alan Sawbuck, I gave up.
