Meet With Triumph and Disaster

by Michael Schuster & Steve Mollmann

The first time Captain Thomas Halloway saw the U.S.S. Enterprise, the starship was nothing more than a simulation displayed on a designer's terminal. Even back then, he had been impressed by her size, although he had no illusions that a computer model ever would be able to do the real thing justice.

The third time he saw the Enterprise, she had gone through every preliminary test imaginable, and the first struts of her spaceframe were about to be welded together on the Martian surface, to be lifted into orbit later on.

The seventh time he saw the Enterprise, construction had progressed far enough to enable people to work inside her without having to depend on space suits. That had been the day the life-support systems had been switched on, only weeks after Thomas had been chosen as the right man to supervise the construction efforts. It was also five years before the ship would leave the orbital dock under its own power, using only maneuvering thrusters.

And that had been eight years before the commissioning ceremony that was just minutes away.

It was quite a turnout; Thomas had the feeling that nobody would notice if he suddenly disappeared. This was an event that had drawn hundreds from all over the Federation to this place: the orbital docks of Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, Mars. It was a celebration of Starfleet's desire to explore the unknown, an affirmation of one of the basic ideals of the Federation: the constant and never-ending quest for more knowledge.

What more fitting embodiment of this ideal was there than the Galaxy-class ship itself? So grand and impressive -- swanlike and almost alive. It dwarfed everything else in orbit, with the exception of the spacedock cradling it. "Traveling cities" they had been called by some of their designers, and Thomas was tempted to agree with this assessment. Their purpose was to trawl the regions beyond known space, always on the lookout for interesting and curious new discoveries, be they alive or not.

On the other side of a crowd of dignitaries, Thomas caught sight of a familiar figure. "Orfil!" Thomas shouted and waved at his erstwhile colleague. "Try to come over here, will you?"

A throng of wildly gesticulating Guidons almost prevented Commander Orfil Quinteros from crossing the distance of only a few meters, but eventually he succeeded and shook Thomas's hand. Orfil had worked with Thomas for almost ten years, serving as his right-hand man on the construction team (not to mention best friend), but he had been gone for two months now, undergoing command training in preparation for his transfer to Starbase 74.

"When did you arrive?" Thomas asked.

"Late last night. HQ booked me a flight on a civilian shuttle bound for Pluto, and from there I took the ferry to Titan. I hardly got any sleep." Orfil had relatives in Christopher's Landing, and he was likely to pay them a visit whenever he had enough time. "Where's the boss?"

"Out and about, I suspect. I haven't actually seen him yet, but I don't think he'll pass on the opportunity to celebrate. Do you?"

"Nah." Having worked for many years under Admiral Theoderich Patterson, they both knew exactly what he liked, and playing host for such a celebration as today's was one of the things right at the top of that list. The admiral had started as a lowly engineer at Utopia Planitia and, having managed to stay there his entire career, now ran the place. "Most likely, he's already mingling."

"Most likely," Thomas agreed.

Without warning, Orfil slapped him on the shoulder hard enough that Thomas's knees almost buckled. "So, what news of Solveig and the kids?"

"They're doing fine. Rupa's enjoying elementary school only slightly less than she did kindergarten, but that was to be expected. Matti...well, let's just say he's in a difficult phase right now."

"Ah, puberty." The two men exchanged knowing grins. "Say, why isn't Solveig here? Or did I just fail to spot her? The kids wouldn't have had much fun here, but I'm sure that your wife at least would want to celebrate your triumph with you."

What was being celebrated today was not just his triumph, but also the culmination of two decades' work, if one included in the count the general design and planning efforts for the entire Galaxy class. Twenty years ago, the project had begun, and now the third ship of that class was about to be commissioned. It would not have been such a special occasion if this had been any other ship -- certainly, nobody had made such a fuss about the commissioning of Yamato, for example -- but since this was the first starship in two decades to bear the prestigious name Enterprise, things were different.

Very different.

The people present at this celebration of the past and the future were mostly important figures connected with the Fleet, while others, though few in number, represented the UFP government. It was too much Starfleet top brass, too much pomp and circumstance for Solveig to enjoy herself, and they had talked about it extensively weeks ago, eventually coming to the agreement that they would celebrate on their own, with their relatives and closest friends. It was something Thomas was looking forward to, even as he stood here waiting for the actual start of festivities.

"Solveig...well, you know how she feels about the Fleet, don't you?"

"Oh, yes," said Orfil emphatically. A few times he had been a guest of the Halloways, eating dinner with them and spending an eventful evening at their house in Central Burroughs. Orfil had experienced Solveig in action often enough to know what she thought of Starfleet, Federation politics, and just about everything else that crossed her mind.

Movement at the other end of the observation center that doubled as the locale for tonight's event caught Thomas's attention -- somebody was mounting the stage. It was Admiral Patterson, about to make the first speech of many that would be delivered tonight. Beyond the transparent wall behind the admiral, the rusty orb of Mars shimmered in the sun...as did the star of today's ceremony.

She hung scarcely a hundred meters away, keeping close company with the station ostensibly in order to give the attendees the best possible view of her, though all they saw was the underside of the saucer section, the neck, and the front part of the secondary hull with its ringed navigational deflector.

Still, thought Thomas, she's a sight to behold.

The audience quieted as Patterson took the podium. "Good evening, dear guests. It is a great honor and an even greater pleasure for me to be able to welcome you all here today. Many of you have had to travel long distances to be present on this very special occasion, and for that I thank you. It is not every day that we celebrate the commissioning of a new starship, much less that of a ship with such a prestigious and famous name as that of the U.S.S. Enterprise, a name that goes back centuries, used long before there was a Starfleet on Earth, long before even there were any spacegoing craft on that planet at all. Now has come the time to make that name part of the Federation's fleet once again, to lead the way in expanding our knowledge and understanding of the universe and -- most important -- ourselves.

"We celebrate this event not only because we can, but also because we feel that we have an obligation to do so. The previous starship called Enterprise was destroyed with all hands nineteen years ago, and I ask you all to join me now in a minute's silent remembrance of those who lost their lives that day."

Thomas still remembered where he had been when he had heard the news. It was such an extraordinary occurrence, the destruction of the Enterprise-C, that one could not help but memorize every little detail about it. Such a thing did not happen, especially not with people aboard. Many had died in that Romulan attack over Narendra III, but if any good could come from such a tragedy, it was that the ship's loss had gone a long way to strengthen deteriorating relations between the Federation and the Klingon Empire.

"Thank you," Patterson said and gripped the sides of the podium, leaning slightly forward. "Let us never forget the brave souls who gave their lives for our safety throughout Federation history. It is only because of their sacrifice that we have come so far: from belonging to separate, disparate planets to being part of a vast interstellar whole that is so much more than the sum of its parts. Rather than being satisfied with the status quo, we want to know more, about ourselves, about others, about the place we live in. Who better to talk about this ship's mission" -- he made a sweeping gesture toward the majestic form beyond the windows -- "than our next speaker. My dear friends and supporters of Starfleet's cause, I am proud to introduce the Respectable Lady Svaath Magodin, Secretary of Science and Space Exploration of the United Federation of Planets!"

Applause followed, and a reptilian Xindi ascended the stage. Magodin was slightly smaller than average for her species, and if you didn't know her, you'd think that she was not very remarkable at all. Months previous, Thomas had made the mistake of assuming her to be just that, and he'd quickly discovered his error: she was distinguished by virtue of the way she interacted with others. She did not beat about the bush; if there was something she wanted, she said so. She reminded him of nothing so much as a Vulcan matriarch.

"Thank you, Admiral. I am glad to be here today," she said. Her voice was at odds with what you would expect from her appearance, as it always reminded Thomas of a little elf. Somehow it did not seem to belong to a woman from New Xindus. "Admiral Patterson has already mentioned the reason for this gathering," she continued, addressing the throng of guests, "but I feel it bears repeating. It is about the pursuit of knowledge, both in the reaches of deep space as well as within ourselves. This ship is a symbol of our desir...

Satisfying. Enjoyable. Perfect Anniversary Book.
By Diane Bellomo
I gave this one 5 stars, first with the hope it will raise the overall rating, and second because, well, I felt the book deserved it. Seriously, I don't know what readers were expecting from an anthology celebrating the twentieth anniversary of The Next Generation, but from where I sat, this book hit the mark and then some. It contains 14 stories by authors both known and unknown, and in doing so created a wonderful mix of the familiar and the brand new. What better way to celebrate twenty years?

The stories varied from thought-provoking (the bookends, "Meet with Triumph and Disaster" and "Trust Yourself When All Men Doubt You") to downright hysterical ("Thinking of You"), from compelling ("Friends with the Sparrows") to, er, "CATastic" ("On the Spot"). IMNSHO, even the weakest story ("Ordinary Days") had merit, if for no other reason than we met someone who would actually *marry* Wesley, even if it was in an AU. Oh, har-de-har-har.

So, if you're a Next Gen fan, as well as a fan of the pro writers, you just can't go wrong with this book.

And, of course, let's not forget my fetish for good cover art. Kudos to artist Stephan Martiniere for his absolutely fabulous cover - and thanks Pocket Books for listing his name on the inside page. Well done!

As to the manga excerpt in the very back: eh. I suppose it's great for those who like it, but I'm not one of 'em. Plus I thought it was kinda strange to have a classic Trek comic in a Next Gen anniversary anthology, but I suspect that was just an advertising decision, based more on the timing of publication than fan interest. I can deal.

"Four Lights"
By Fool
**Warning: Spoilers for the story "Four Lights".***

What is wrong with "Four Lights", by Keith DeCandido? It doesn't stay true to the characters. It portrays Gul Madred as a completely nasty, self-serving Cardassian who is utterly self-confident and able to get the best of Picard again after all these years. The idea of revisiting the effects that the TNG episode "Chain of Command" had on Captain Picard is an intriguing one, but deserves better treatment that it receives in this work. When trying to think how exactly to put my objections into words, I went back to the original TNG episode itself. In Chain of Command, Picard is tortured by Gul Madred and later admits to Counselor Troi, "I actually believed that I could see five lights." (When in fact there were only four.) This suggests that Madred's torture had a profound effect on Picard. However, what about the effect that Picard had on Madred?

During the episode there are at least two, and I'll argue for three, times when Gul Madred is "thrown" or changed--call it what you will--by Captain Picard. The first time is when Picard brings up the subject of Madred's daughter, causing the torturer to lose control and slap Picard before resuming his "job". The second, and most obvious time, is when Picard uses knowledge of Madred's childhood to expose potential weakness in him. And the final time is at the end, when Picard screams, "THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS" before leaving Madred for the final time. I would contend that Madred's expression leaves open the possibility of self-doubt and perhaps even...respect...for a certain Federation Captain.

And that is where "Four Lights" rubbed me completely wrong. It portrayed instead a smug, manipulating Gul Madred with no hints of humanity and a firm belief in his dominance over Picard. And it portrayed a weak, shaken Picard, self-righteous and assured in his ability to handle everything while still seemingly unable to fight against the Cardassian at all.
As I said before, I thought the premise behind the story was brilliant, and was really looking forward to reading it, but ultimately it fell way short.

The rest of the stories in this anthology were a mixed bag, some good, some bad. Overall it was a decent read that I would recommend to a Next Generation fan.

One Great story, two good ones, and a whole lot of other writing
By DudeMan
Given what you are paying for this collection, I'd call it an improvement over most recent ST:NG novels and worth your currency, but it helps to have low expectations coming in.

Spoilers Galore coming:

The book itself is 392 pages long with dense print and an oversized binding. Contains 14 stories at 20 to 40 pages each. The stories run the gamut from before the series to shortly after the last movie. Some are entirely new adventures, some continuations of previous episodes. Personally, I could do without the manga (glorified comic book) attached at the end of the book and wish instead Pocket Books had an introductory piece instead. But to each his own, and it shouldn't impact your purchase decision.

So here goes a brief story run-down, ranked either 1 star (blah) to 4 stars (excellent). These are personal opinions of course, so everyone might see these differently, but I'm basically looking for three elements in these stories: 1) entertainment value, 2) uniqueness, and/or 3) something new about the same old thing.

1. Meet with Triumph & Disaster (1.5 stars). There as the Enterprise is being launched with someone other than Picard. Essentially a partial story, it serves as an effective if bland piece to launch the book. The title is a reach!

2. Acts of Compassion (0 stars). Beverly and Yar on a mission mercy. I found the story far too formulistic and predictable, similar to the story these same authors penned in the in the Original Series Constellation anthology. These authors seem competent enough but I wish they would go beyond paint-by-number plots, especially in an anthology titled "The Sky's the Limit"!

3. Redshift (2.5 stars). Pulaski and La Forge handle an emergency situation. The author captures Pulaski perfectly and the beaming drills are both interesting (so they actually do drill in Medical too?) and integral to the plot. Not to belabor the point, but if the plot is slim (rescue ala story 2), there must be some other hook to grab the reader's attention.

4. Among the Clouds (3 stars). Airships in the clouds. A genuinely interesting story with wonderful character moments and a hard science feel. Nicely done and very unique.

5. Thinking of You (2.5 stars). Barclay, Loren, and Lwaxana - together! Humorous stories in the Star Trek universe can be a tough sell but this one is genuinely funny at times though the woman-in-peril plot moves this down a half star.

6. Turncoats (2 stars). Redemption for a former traitor. The story is actually exceptionally well-written but I think it suffers from an outsider's perspective and an unfortunate choice of the ship's survival hinging on newcomer's presence - which seems really unlikely.

7. Ordinary Days (1 stars). Wesley does the alternative life thing. Ho-hum. Done far too many times before. Written nicely enough, but the idea is old hat.

8. Twould Ring the Bells of Heaven (2 stars). Losing Data's head! Almost a great story, the beginning is weighed down by long speeches which make it tough to get beyond the starting point.

9. Friends with Sparrows (4 stars). The killer story in the book, and perhaps worth the price of admission by itself. Data and his emotion chip mixed with the Children of Tama. Exceptionally well-written, unique, and a powerful fusion of two disparate concepts. I love this one and probably ought to seek out some of Bennett's other stuff if this is any indication.

10. Suicide Note (3 stars). A Romulan postscript. Proof that slight stories can still be good stories. Nicely done with sensitivity and realism.

11. Four Lights (1 star). This one has been addressed in a previous review and I agree 100% with his comments.

12. Til Death (2.5 stars). Dealing with a hole in your body. Rather goofy in the extreme with mindless action and a Tellarite too but enjoyable enough.

13. On the Spot (3 stars). Cat people rejoice. I gave it 3 stars just because it made Spot a focus of the story and while this isn't in the league with Friends the story gave me a smile.

14. Trust Yourself (1.5 stars). An ending piece to go along with story 1. Look on the bright side - cumulatively, the first and last stories rate 3 starts, and this last one serves as an effective enough conclusion.

Average rating - 2 stars out of 4. Eh....

Former marshal-turned-rebel Jim Raynor has broken away from the power-crazed Emperor Arcturus Mengsk. Enraged over Mengsk's betrayal of the powerful telepath, Sarah Kerrigan, to the ravenous Zerg, Raynor has lost all faith in his fellow humanity.

Yet, in the aftermath of Mengsk's treachery, Raynor is plagued by strange visions of Char -- a deadly, volcanic world haunted by horrifying alien creatures. As the nightmares grow in intensity, Raynor begins to suspect that they may not be figments of his imagination -- but a desperate form of telepathic contact. Convinced that the woman he loves is still alive, Raynor launches a hasty mission to rescue Kerrigan from Char. But deep beneath the planet's smoldering surface, Raynor finds a strange chrysalis...and is forced to watch in horror as a terrible, all-too-familiar entity rises from it.

Before him stands a creature of depthless malice and vengeance...

Sarah Kerrigan: the Zerg Queen of Blades.

A captivating and exciting tale
By Bastet1023
When I first saw this book was coming out I was immediately excited with the idea of another StarCraft book. I was not disappointed.

The book starts off where the first StarCraft book, Liberty's Crusade, ended. The entire book is narrorated from Jim Raynor's perspective but isn't boring or monotone. The transition from the books is pretty clean and doesn't leave you questioning what is going on or when an event happened. The book covers the time from the beginning of the Zerg campaign in the game to the middle of the Protoss campaign. It has some of the dialouge from the games, but it doesn't clutter the story or sound awkward. Nor does the novel go against the game's story line.

The only problem I found with the book were a few grammar errors and it was just a tad slow in the beginning, but got better and better as the bok went on. The most enjoyable point of the book for me was finding out more of the Protoss and reading of how Jim Raynor ended up buddies with the Protoss.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to any StarCraft fan.

A deep disappointment.
By J. Chandler
The subject of Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, is probably the deepest and most intense in the entire universe Starcraft is set in. I can't think of anyone I've talked to who has played through the game's campaigns and not both loved and hated her. She inspires awe and fear, passion and disgust; her dual nature makes her a fascinating subject. I will elaborate on it no more... on to the book.

Mr. Rosenberg did a good enough job piecing together the events of what happens between Kerrigan's capture by the Zerg and James Raynor's trip to Char to save her, finding himself in the company of the new Dominion forces and the Protoss. This is all very interesting and a good story to tell, but Mr. Rosenberg really just puts glue between the cracks from the original campaign and does almost no elaboration. Raynor feels protective of his troops and repeatedly "announces" it through narrative, but there is no development to really establish this on a firm ground--it's just something we have to accept. Even his relationship with Kerrigan feels held up only by the video game: Rosenberg's prose about their relationship resorts to cliches about love combined with cheap horror. He repeatedly cites Kerrigan's in-game line, "You pig!", as if that completely explains the sexual tension Raynor and Kerrigan experience before her abduction and transformation.

Truly, the best parts of this book--the parts that allow it to have at least two stars from me--involve the Protoss, who really don't develop into full characters until the last third of the book. That Raynor manages to repeatedly find them by wandering off into Char's vast desert is incredibly hard to believe (never mind that Char has edible, easily harvested flora, fauna, and water), but thank God he does, because they are the most interesting things on the drab planet Rosenberg has presented us with. Tassadar's initial skepticism of the Dark Templar and Zeratul's confrontation of Zasz and then Kerrigan work to develop what finally turns into a decent plot in the book, and the months the two Protoss factions and the Terrans spend together avoiding Kerrigan are the most exciting, as we see juxtaposed the merging of minds of Zeratul and Tassadar and the constant engagement of and retreat from Kerrigan's brood.

The climax of the book occurs with a "final battle" that truly is engaging, as the Protoss devise a way to lure Kerrigan's entire brood into a trap using Raynor as a conduit of their mental trickery. Kerrigan is nearly killed by the heroes, but all the same she flexes her muscles and puts them each in their places. Afterward, the inevitable recovery of Tassadar and the others by Judicator Aldaris is explained, and the plot is left to thicken.

If it weren't for so much going on in the latter third of the book, there would be nothing to read here. The writing remains elementary throughout, but at least the story is engaging and new towards the end rather than constantly regurgitative.

Still, the book's greatest failure, its lack of development of Kerrigan's character, its thrust forward into her transformation without dramatic pause (we only see glimpses of this in the prologue and Jim's dreams, and they, like many of the emotions in the book, are written in heavy cliche), is inexcusable. The next book featuring Kerrigan needs a writer who can develop her emotional conflicts in a mature and captivating way.

Two out of five stars for the decent plot at the end and the elucidation of Zeratul and Tassadar's first encounter. Otherwise... a deep disappointment.

Excellent Storyline
By Carlos Pichardo
It makes you understand the gaps you do not see in the game, for example, how did Raynor got together with Tassadar & how did Tassadar learned the ways of the Void...

Also, leads you to believe that there is still some human side in Kerrigan, despite her rebirth in the swarm... for she spared Raynor's life at one point...

From my point of view, I enjoyed the novel as much as I did the game... because it completes the story.

IN A SINGLE MOMENT

. . . the lives of three men will be forever changed. In that split second, defined paradoxically by both salvation and loss, they will destroy the world and then restore it. Much had come before, and much would come after, but nothing would color their lives more than that one, isolated instant on the edge of forever.

IN A SINGLE MOMENT

. . . James T. Kirk, displaced in time, allows the love of his life to die in a traffic accident, thereby preserving Earth's history. Returning to the present, he continues a storied career as a starship captain, opening up the galaxy. But as he wanders among the stars, the incandescence that once filled his heart remains elusive.

IN A SINGLE MOMENT

. . . that haunts James T. Kirk throughout his life, he preserved the timeline at the cost of his happiness. Now, facing his own death, the very fabric of existence collapses across years and light-years, forcing him to race against -- and through -- time itself, until he comes full circle to that one bright star by which his life has always steered.

Chapter One

(2282)/2282

Kirk stood beneath a hazy sky, feeling hazy himself. Around him rose trees and brush. A light breeze blew, causing the switchgrass to sway against the legs of his black uniform pants. The strong scent of Solomon's plumes wafted through the air, though in his mouth, he still tasted the tang of metal.

Metal? Still?

He reached his left hand to his lips, and his fingertips came away stained with blood. Kirk peered down at himself and saw dark patches on his crimson vest, and streaks of red on his long-sleeved white shirt and on his right hand. The material of his uniform had been covered with dirt and torn in numerous places. He struggled to recall what had happened -- and then did.

Soran. Veridian Three.

Kirk remembered falling, remembered gazing out from beneath the misshapen remains of the bridge that had crushed him and knowing that he had only seconds to live. He'd seen the flaming ribbon of energy, racing toward him and bringing the obliteration of space and time with it. The ribbon and the ruin had extended down to the planet, had engulfed him and Picard --

Picard!

Kirk looked left and right, then turned in a circle, searching for any sign of the Enterprise captain. He didn't see him, though, nor did he see the rocky desert locale where they'd fought Soran. Instead, he found himself once more among the rolling, wooded hills of Idaho, in the area where he and Picard had last spoken prior to their mission on Veridian Three.

Except that they hadn't really been in Idaho, but in some type of temporal nexus that had allowed Kirk to imagine himself there. Picard had told him that, but Kirk had really known the truth of it even before then. He'd ridden Tom Telegraph out here from his uncle's barn sensing that it had been the day he'd met Antonia, but also knowing that it could only be an imitation of that time.

Movement caught Kirk's eye. He looked across the ravine to the hilltop, to where Antonia sat on horseback. Beneath the filmy sky, another horse and rider ascended the slope, approaching her. Only when they arrived at the summit of the hill and neared Antonia did Kirk recognize the second rider: himself, dressed not in the clothes he had worn on that long-ago day, but in the black slacks, white pullover shirt, and crimson vest of his Starfleet uniform -- the same uniform he wore right now, though neither ripped nor coated with the soil of Veridian Three.

What's happening? Kirk thought, and with an absurdity he realized a moment later, he actually patted the front of his own body in a visceral attempt to verify his own physical existence. He reasoned that he must be witnessing some sort of reproduced scene, since clearly he could not exist both here and there -- or could he? Could his presence here, in this spot, simply be a later version of himself than the one right now appearing to meet Antonia for the first time? Could he be standing here minutes after he and Picard had stopped Soran sometime in the 2370s, viewing a period in his life that had taken place in 2282?

He didn't know. That hadn't seemed to be how the nexus had functioned before. In his previous spell within the mysterious region, he hadn't been a witness to events, but a participant in them. He remembered preparing breakfast for Antonia on that day when he had been about to break the news to her of his intention to return to Starfleet, and then having his change of heart and telling Picard about it. He remembered stranding Gary Mitchell on Delta Vega but not being forced to kill him; finding a different way of dealing with Apollo on Pollux IV that did not require the self-styled god to spread himself thinner and thinner upon the wind, until only the wind remained; sharing a birthday meal with his son as David turned forty; and living or reliving so many other events of his life, some old, some new, many modified in ways clearly born of his own desires. But this...

He began walking forward, in the direction of the ravine, and beyond it, toward the hill where some version or replica of himself even now had that initial conversation with Antonia. As he moved through the switchgrass, he realized that it had been from this precise location that he and Picard had departed the nexus to reach Veridian Three. What did it mean, if anything, that he had returned to this place when he'd been swept back into the strange temporal confluence? Had he even really left the nexus?

Kirk stopped, unsure how he should proceed. He had intended to approach Antonia and the other Kirk, but now he didn't know if he should. He looked to his left, then moved that way, until he stood concealed behind the foliage of a low-hanging tree branch. For now, he decided, he would simply observe, in the hope of gaining more information before choosing a course of action.

As he peered through the leaves of the tree to the top of the hill, Kirk could not help remembering the original version of this day in his own life.

After waking up and eating a light breakfast, Jim Kirk knocked around the one-story farmhouse for a few minutes. Clad in blue jeans and a gray short-sleeved shirt, he paced aimlessly through the few small rooms: from his bedroom on the right side of the house, past the refresher, down the short hall to the kitchen, out into the living room, and into the second bedroom, which he'd more or less set up as an office, though he rarely spent any time there. With his years of starship service -- and consequently the requirements for written and recorded reports to Starfleet -- at an end, he found little need for a desk or any sort of a sit-down workspace. He'd had a com/comm unit -- a computer and communications station -- installed when he'd moved in, but he almost never used it. During his first few months here, Spock and McCoy and others had contacted him a number of times, but he supposed that he must've made it abundantly clear that he intended to disconnect from his former life and keep to himself in the Idaho wilderness. At this point, after residing here for nearly two years, days would pass between when he checked for messages, and only infrequently did he find one waiting for him.

Now, standing before the self-contained terminal, Kirk leaned forward and touched a control surface. It responded with a buzz, and the declaration 0 messages appeared on the display. Kirk felt a mixture of relief and disappointment.

If you want to talk with Spock or Bones, he told himself, you can just go ahead and contact them. He could, of course, but what would he say to them? That he'd made a mistake in leaving Starfleet? He knew that most of his friends and colleagues had believed that very thing when he'd stepped down, and they probably still believed it now. But while there might have been some truth to that view, he also knew that it would have been a much greater mistake for him to have stayed.

Kirk didn't want to discuss any of that, though, and what else could he tell his friends about his current life? Each day, he tended the horses, then often rode or hiked across the Idaho hills, even during the cold and sometimes snowy winter months. He occasionally went into Lost River for supplies, or farther afield, to Blackfoot or Pocatello or Idaho Falls. Twice, he'd visited the lava flows and cinder cones of Craters of the Moon Monument and Preserve. Last summer, he'd tried his hand at cultivating his own fruits and vegetables, but had discovered that he possessed little interest in the activity, not to mention something less than a green thumb. Now as then, he thought that some Orion joke must've hidden in that last observation, but it still eluded him.

Leaving the office, Kirk walked back out into the living room. A sofa and a pair of easy chairs, all old and timeworn, formed a cozy sitting area about the hearth. The mantel and the two end tables on either side of the sofa remained bare, though, and no personal photographs or artwork adorned the walls -- not just in this room, but throughout the house. Since he'd come here, Kirk had done little to make this place his own. He'd brought with him several crates of books and personal, naval, and antique artifacts that he'd collected through the years, but he had for the most part left those items packed up and stored down in the cellar. Every so often he would descend the old wooden stairs and rummage through one of the crates to find one volume or another to read -- and usually to reread. At the moment, a black, leather-bound edition of Great Expectations lay on the sofa, a gold ribbon halfway through marking his place in it, but the book hardly qualified as decoration.

Kirk padded across the living room to the front door and opened it, knowing that he needed to take care of the horses. The spring had been exceedingly mild so far, and the dull sky -- more gray-blue than blue -- promised another cool day. Kirk grabbed his light-blue jacket from where it hung beside the door and pulled it on. As he stepped outside, he hoped that the sky would clear and that by the afternoon the mercury would climb.

Great expectations, he thought, but the phrase resonated less with respect to the weather than to his own life. On his way to the barn, he considered the classic novel, which he had already read several times before, and he suddenly faced a moment of self-revelation. Have I become Miss Havisham? he asked himself. Jilted at the altar, her heart broken, the Dickens character had subsequently locked herself away, spending the rest of her life in her manse, Satis House, which she had then allowed to decay around her.

And me? he thought. Have I locked myself away? Kirk had not been abandoned on the day of his wedding, but fifteen years ago he had watched as Edith Keeler had been killed. The death of the woman he'd believed his one true love had affected him deeply, and though he hadn't physically sequestered himself away as Miss Havisham had -- at least not then -...

Not as good as the Spock and McCoy "Crucible" novels
By Roger J. Buffington
I like this author, and I really enjoyed the McCoy and the Spock "Crucible" novels. I did not particularly like this novel. A good part of my dislike is based upon its emphasis on events that took place in the "Star Trek Generations" film. I always thought that the whole premise of "Generations" was silly and improbable, and perhaps for this reason I had trouble investing much interest in this story.

Some hard core Star Trek fans will no doubt enjoy this piece, but I found it to be distinctly weaker than the other two Crucible novels, and I had difficulty finishing it.

Interesting story.
By James Yanni
Slightly better than its "Crucible: Spock" predecessor, not nearly as good as the "Crucible: McCoy" opener of the trilogy. (Curious that even in a trilogy that consists of three separate stories not interdependant on one another, the middle installment manages to be the weakest.) For those who agree with the common perception that Edith Keeler was truly the love of Kirk's life, this story will doubtless work better than it did for me. But in order to accept that proposition, I would have to accept the cultural myth of "love at first sight" to an extent that I've never been able to manage (see my review of Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet.) After all, Kirk had only known her for a very brief time, not long enough to truly form a solid relationship that would constitute real love. Granted, infatuation interrupted can be devastating, and might even leave a weak-willed, impractical person traumatized for life. But Kirk was neither weak-willed nor impractical, and while the guilt feelings for having essentially caused the death of a woman he, at the very least, cared for deeply and greatly respected would certainly have been real and have haunted him for the rest of his life, I refuse to believe that what he had romantically with her was real enough to poison his relationships similarly. Furthermore, to suggest that Kirk's inability to have lasting relationships was a result of the events in "City On The Edge of Forever" is to overlook the fact that his romantic pattern was already established in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", "Dagger of the Mind", "Miri", and "The Conscience of the King" before "City on the Edge of Forever" occurred. To say nothing of the fact that it seems to me (although without more research than I'm willing to put into a quick review I can't prove it) that David Marcus was born and Carol Marcus broken up with before that episode. In any case, while Edith Keeler was certainly a fascinating personality, I sincerely doubt that Kirk would have been capable of a lasting relationship with her, even under circumstances that didn't preclude the possibility. He was, as it was frequently established during the series, "married" to his ship, and all other relationships took second place to that. ("Elaan of Troyus", among other episodes.)

So I find the basic premise of this book dubious, if not quite as dubious as that of the "Crucible: Spock" book, and that is why I rate it at less than five stars. Still, it is a well-written and enjoyable story for all of that, and a four-star rating is certainly not a pan.

Crucible: Kirk
By Mark F. Henderson
Out of the three books regarding McCoy, Spock & Kirk, I found the one about Kik the least enjoyable. I was surprised since the other two were outstanding reads. It was still OK and worth the time to read. It's just that the other two were that much better. Still, I'm glad to have in my ST Universe collection.

About the Author
J. M. Dillard grew up coddled in the wilds of central Florida. After leaving her mother’s sheltering arms, she left Florida to reside in various locales, including Washington, DC, Vermont, and southern California. She herself now coddles a two-hundred-pound husband and two ninety-pound Labradors, all of whom are well-trained but persist in believing themselves to be lapdogs. She is the author of a plethora of Star Trek® books; as Jeanne Kalogridis (her evil alter-ego), she is the author of the acclaimed Diaries of the Family Dracul trilogy, and the historical fantasy The Burning Times.

Chapter One

Worlds away, on the planet Earth in the area known as Alaska, Captain Jean-Luc Picard rose from the table at which he sat, and for a moment, gazed beyond the people gathered before him at his magnificent surroundings: the Denali mountain range, snow-capped against a blue sky. The open-air pavilion was heated to a comfortable temperature, but on occasion, Picard drew in a breath of cold, pristine oxygen tinged with evergreen.

The natural beauty only added to the poignancy of the moment: to gather himself, Picard concentrated on the discomfort generated by his white-dress jacket, the white tunic beneath fitted tightly at the neck, and kept his expression resolute, even stern.

"Duty," he intoned, to the officers at the bride and groom's table with him. To his right sat Beverly; to his left, Will Riker and Deanna Troi, flanked by Geordi, Data, and Worf. In front of the large, central table were dozens of smaller ones, occupied by other crewmates and friends. "A starship captain's life is filled with solemn duty. I have commanded men in battle. I have negotiated peace treaties between implacable enemies. I have represented the Federation in first contact with twenty-seven alien species. But none of this compares to my solemn duty as..." He paused for effect. "Best man."

From their center seats at the table, Will and Deanna laughed along with the rest of the guests -- all except Data, who watched the ritual with avid curiosity. Deanna's skin seemed to radiate the precise color of her gown -- iridescent pale rose, gleaming like a newfound pearl. Quite a bit of skin there was, too, with the low-cut, sleeveless bodice, but her legs were covered by the sweeping skirt. One shoulder bore a corsage of cabbage roses; a cascade of roses swirled about the skirt from waist to hem.

A pink pearl, Picard thought, amidst a sea of white and gray uniforms; all officers other than the captain wore gray tunics beneath their white dress jackets.

He continued to feign sternness, though his mood was a mixture of joy and melancholy. "Now, I know that on an occasion such as this it is expected that I be gracious and fulsome with praise on the wonders of this blessed union...But have you two considered what you're doing to me? Of course you're happy! But what about my needs?! This is all a damned inconven-ience..." He continued despite the crowd's laughter. "While you're happily settling in on the Titan, I'll have to train my new first officer. You all know him. He's a steely sort of fellow who knows every word of every paragraph of every regulation by heart; a stern martinet who will never, ever, allow me to go on away missions."

He glanced at the golden-faced android, Data, who looked up at him with those peculiarly guileless eyes. "That is the regulation, sir," Data said earnestly. "Starfleet Code section twelve, paragraph four -- "

"Data," Picard countered, in a more casual tone.

"Sir?"

"Shut up."

More laughter came from the crowd, especially Deanna, whose dark hair was swept up into a graceful chignon. Picard turned his sights on her and affected his best curmudgeonly tone.

"Then there's the matter of my new counselor," he said. "No doubt they'll assign me some soft-spoken, willowy thing who'll probe into my darkest psyche as she nods her head and coos sympathetically. Isn't that right, Deanna?"

The broad grin disappeared from Deanna's face; instead, she conjured a wide-eyed, strikingly concerned expression and cooed -- sympathetically, of course. Beverly, who had served as matron of honor, leaned toward her laughingly and clapped.

"I notice Doctor Crusher laughing along with the rest of you," Picard continued. "As most of you know, the doctor will also soon be leaving the Enterprise, to assume command of Starfleet Medical." He spread his hands in mock supplication. "Again, I'm forced to ask, Beverly, have you considered what you're doing to me? I'll probably get some old battle-axe of a doctor who'll tell me to eat my vegetables and put me on report if I don't show up for my physical on time."

"It'll serve you right," Beverly called back spiritedly.

Picard sighed and regarded Will and Deanna again. "Really, it's not too late to reconsider..." And when they both, grinning, shook their heads, he added, "No? Very well then." At last, he surrendered his sarcastic tone, raised his glass, and smiled affectionately at the two.

"Will Riker," he said. "You have been my trusted right arm for fifteen years, you have helped keep my course true and steady." He paused to gaze at the bride. "Deanna Troi, you have been my conscience and guide, you have helped me to recognize the best parts of myself." To both he said, "You are my family. And in proper maritime tradition, I wish you clear horizons...My friends, make it so."

Picard and the rest of those gathered upended their glasses.

A band had begun to play, and the guests to mingle; Picard began to make his way toward Riker and Crusher, but in midstride he paused once again to take in the three-hundred-and-sixty-degree sight of the Denali range, framed at its base by stands of tall evergreens. The mountains, white set against glistening white, formed a jagged horizon against the clear Earth-blue sky. They appeared permanent, eternal: but in spring, Picard knew, their collective face would change; great patches of white would give way to dark earth and dark greenery, giving a dappled light-and-shadow effect.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, his brother Robert had always said, but Picard saw no validity in the statement -- especially not on this day. Things were changing, quite radically in fact, and he failed to see how his life would ever be the same.

Beverly Crusher appeared before him -- much older than on the day they first met, something less of a mystery, but certainly no less beautiful, with her red-gold hair that seemed a reflection of her warm personality. His maudlin thought must have affected his expression, for she picked up on his feelings at once and teased, "Sort of like losing a son and gaining an empath, isn't it?"

Picard grimaced sourly at her. "You're being a big help."

She put a hand lightly on the crook of his elbow and said playfully into his ear, "If you start tearing up I promise to beam you out. Level one medical emergency."

He had to smile at that. As the two of them made their way through the crowd toward Will and Deanna, young Wesley Crusher -- surprisingly mature-looking in a Starfleet lieutenant's uniform -- crossed their path.

Wesley grinned broadly. "Mom!" Then, with a more formal air as he straightened his shoulders, added: "Captain."

"Hello, Wesley," Picard said easily. "It's good to see you back in uniform."

"Suits him, doesn't it?" Beverly said. She was suddenly incandescent with pride; Picard tried to imagine what it would have been like to raise a child, then finally see him one day grown and in uniform, and felt the stirrings of wistful jealousy. There were many paths he had chosen not to take in his life -- children included -- and Beverly's proximity served to remind him of other lost opportunities.

Nevertheless, he returned Wesley's grin. "Are you looking forward to serving on the Titan?"

Lieutenant Crusher's words tumbled out with the enthusiasm of youth. "Very much. I have the night duty shift in engineering, we have a double-refracting warp core matrix with twin inter-mix chambers that..." He stopped abruptly, his attention seized by the appearance of a young woman who waved in his direction. "Oh, excuse me. See you later, Mom."

At once he was off, in pursuit of the girl. Picard could only smile and gently shake his head at the fleeting attention span of youth; had he ever really been that young? Beverly's smile was a bit more rueful.

Once again, they headed for Troi and Riker.

***

Nearby, Engineer Geordi La Forge sat at the bar nursing a glass of synthehol while talking with Guinan. Like most of his crewmates, he was in a state of near-shock: Troi and Riker had been an item years before they worked together on the Enterprise, and for their several years as crewmates, they had remained good friends, nothing more. (Although, of course, LaForge had always known Will Riker was still carrying feelings for Deanna.) Then the courtship began anew -- but the notion that the couple might actually make their relationship more permanent -- well, it just seemed like one of those things crew members liked to speculate about, but which would never happen, rather like Captain Picard suddenly professing love for Dr. Crusher.

La Forge shook his head, laughing. "I still can't believe he finally popped the question!"

Ever-serene and self-confident, Guinan leaned forward to prop her elbows against the bar. "What makes you so sure he popped the question?"

"Counselor Troi?" Geordi set down his flute and raised his eyebrows. "You gotta be kidding." He had always thought of Commander Riker being the one to pursue Troi, of Riker having to convince Troi to love him -- but perhaps he, Geordi, had always thought of things that way because he was male, and it always seemed to him that he had to work to earn a female's affection. Or did the insecurity work both ways?

"You have to keep an eye on us quiet, soulful types," Guinan said mysteriously, her lips curving upward in the small smile-that-was-not-quite-a-smile.

Her answer gave Geordi a thought, and that thought made him grin. "You ever think about getting married again?"

Guinan looked past him, at the Alaskan skyline, her voice trailing. "Maybe..." And then her gaze and voice promptly returned. "But like I always say, why buy the Denubian seacow when you can get the milk for free?"

Geordi barely snickered, then picked up his glass; as he did, the Klingon Worf sat heavily, with a slight groan, on the stool beside him. The normally bronze skin beneath Worf's eyes was ashen, his thick eyebrows knit together beneath his bony forehead, which was furrowed even more deeply than usual. The Klingon had continued to let his hair grow, and now wore it in a simple brai...

Not one of the best TNG books, but still worth a look. Good cover :)
By Adrian
My feeling for Star Trek Resistance fluctuated throughout the book, from high expectations due to the strong visual cover and title, to partial disappointment towards the end. The new counsellor is a strange choice. There is unnecessary plot development of minor crew who end up dying anyway. There are too many new characters. I must say it does move the Next Generation Universe forward in some unexpectedly positive ways though.

As you may have guessed by now, this book focuses on Picard and the return of the Borg (again). It's a bit long in the tooth as a concept now, and there are plot copies from TNG series 6 where Lore takes over a splinter group, and other previous movies. Suffice it to say that they get in over their heads, but somehow manage to grasp victory from defeat.

There were a few individual things which struck me in the book.

1. Data will be sorely missed. Not only was he a great character, but was actually central in defeating the Borg at least twice. I hope someone develops a plot twist to reinstall Data into his "brother" later on.

2. Janeway makes an excellent Admiral. Her promotion after Voyager's return as an intelligent and strong leader is a TNG plus.

3. The changing dynamics of interstellar politics allowed an interesting twist on the long standing Treaty of Algeron. I look forward to seeing how that progresses.

4. Picard and the crew show unusual individual initiative. Normally, the Enterprise would receive their orders from SF Command, be given orders (Strategic aspect), and Picard would go and carry them out his own way (Tactical aspect).

This time, Picard did everything on his own initiative and even went against Command. Is this a good thing? Only time will tell.

So do I recommend this book? Yes, but temper your expectations.

Resistance is Futile
By Geoffrey A. Snyder
This is my second Star Trek novel and I have to say I enjoyed it quite a bit more than the previous one: 'Death from Within.' Where the latter felt like just another episode of TNG, this one felt like a continuation of the story and felt like it added more depth to the characters and to the Borg themselves.

In the TV shows and movies, the Borg are just a jumble of races controlled by cybernetic implants - not a race per se but just a group. For whatever reason, there is a queen who's an individual but also part of the whole and can be in more than one place at a time. Now, I love Star Trek and I call myself a trekkie but I never quite got all that. In this novel, as part of Dr. Crusher's research, they are described more like a group of humanoid insects where the assimilated are changed on a DNA level to become part of this race as well as part of the collective mind. It makes them much more understandable and makes them cooler as well.

In addition, I like the new characters brought into the Enterprise crew and treated as fully defined people and not just Red Shirts to become so much fodder. They have their own opinions, loves, likes, dislikes ... they're fully realized characters. And, it appears that all characters in this ensemble cast can be killed.

Introduction

It's clear that we are in the midst of a psychic renaissance. Open your eyes and look around. Spiritual sleepwalkers everywhere are waking up and smelling the psychic coffee! Get this: In Chicago, entire engine companies are signing up for meditation. More than half the medical schools in the country offer classes on spirituality and health (up from three just ten years ago). A Wall Street mega-millionaire donates up to 30 million dollars a year to fund scientific studies of God. And according to Time magazine, 69 percent of us believe in angels.

Remember hearing your parents talk about est and yoga, wacky meditations and dark séances? Think about it. There hasn't been this much spiritual energy floating about since the sixties.

There's a reason people nowadays are experiencing more meaningful coincidences and odd happenings. Our dreams are way too significant to be random. We're watching more television shows on God, angels, and communicating with the dead. We're reading more books on intuition, astrology, and prophecy. We're experimenting with the healing power of crystals and reiki. Yoga has replaced kickboxing as the exercise of the moment.

It all has to do with the energy floating around in the universe these days. This energy is like an infinite power station in the sky. It makes the planets rotate around the sun; it turns day into night. It is the energy in our bodies, making our hearts beat and our blood flow. In the sixties, our parents were overtaken by the need to spread peace, love, oneness, and freedom. These concepts are manifestations of the energy that links human beings to the universe's higher forces.

During these years and those that followed -- the sixties, seventies, and eighties -- you and I were born into this energy. What this means -- hold onto your hat -- is that we were born with an active sixth sense. A new "psychic generation," if you will. Yes, we came into this world with psychic energy already wired into our brains! We have an innate ability to apply intuition and tap into the energy of the universe, using it as a tool to create the lives we are meant to live. It is as natural to us as eating, breathing, touch, and sound. It is integral to the way we think, act, and feel. There is nowhere we have to go to get it: It is part of us.

And at this very point in time, you and I are sitting atop a kind of "psychic wormhole" -- much like the one that opened to our parents over three decades ago. Our parents experienced one sort of energy, but the energy that has opened to us is very different. As natural-born psychic receptors, we find that tapping into this new energy is the easiest thing in the world. And now is the time for us to claim it and use it to find out who we are.

Let me guess. You're just a little skeptical. Well, sometimes the most obvious things are the hardest to see. Besides, it's in our nature to be doubtful. We are independent thinkers, many of us are entrepreneurs, we hate rules, and because of all that we are quick to reject anything that smacks of our parents' reality.

But trust me: I've been psychic since I was three years old. Waiting for the bus to take me to nursery school one morning, I innocently said to my mother, "Don't worry, Mommy, the bus is going to be late today because the driver broke her arm last night." Sure enough, the bus showed up late, with a substitute driver at the wheel. Miss Mary indeed had a broken arm.

Needless to say, my parents freaked out.

As a member of Generation X, I'm one of the youngest nationally recognized psychics in America. And I can see it plain as daylight. We are brimming with spiritual abilities, and we don't have to closet ourselves in Zen monasteries or become meditative recluses in order to access them. Today, people can be both psychic and normal. Psychic energy belongs to everyone, not just monks and gurus.

I'm living proof. I grew up watching my mother meditate and do yoga. I didn't know what that stuff was all about, but I quickly formed an opinion that her activities were nebbishy hobbies mothers did in their spare time. Then, in high school, I became interested in psychic teachings. I went to the local library and took out books on palm reading, handwriting, and psychic development. They were long-winded, boring, and extremely esoteric. They didn't talk to me.

None of the spiritual teachings to which I had access seemed natural or accessible. I was disappointed. I wanted to participate, but I knew I was different. It seemed there was no way to connect these stuffy teachings with my everyday reality. The available books all implied that psychic ability was some foreign skill you had to jump through hoops to obtain. They claimed it took years of practice to develop psychic skills, and long, drawn-out rituals were needed in order to arrive at your spiritual destination. Nobody said, "Here, this is a normal and natural ability. You can be who you are and still be psychic."

It took me years to figure out what was going on. The spiritual energy our parents tapped into was hard to reach and difficult to understand. It spoke in fragments and symbols and was not easily integrated into daily experience. It took long, drawn-out rituals to receive psychic information, and those rituals were no guarantee you'd understand the information once it came to you. Those who wished to master psychic wisdom had to devote themselves entirely to attaining spiritual awareness.

On the other hand, there I was, wired completely differently -- like the rest of my generation, preprogrammed with innate psychic ability and a different way of operating in the world. My experience with psychic energy has been utterly new. I've found that the closer you live to your connection, the less ritual it takes to get there. The old energy says, Climb through a window. Today's energy says, Why climb through a window when you can walk through a door?

Psychic energy and spirituality is no longer arduous to access and difficult to use in everyday life. I practice a spirituality that fits into my crammed, jet-setting lifestyle. I call it "instant gratification intuition." Let's face it, I don't think anyone in our generation would put effort into something that isn't direct, practical, and accessible. We don't have time for ambiguous symbols and hindsight; that certainly isn't going to help us get through today. We want psychic and spiritual energy in our lives, but we are hesitant. Psychic and spiritual energy has never before fit into a normal life.

The ability you're about to access, however, is as natural and normal as seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching. Right now, we take for granted that we have five senses. We get up, open our eyes, put our feet on a solid floor, hear the coffee brewing. This book will show you how to just as easily take for granted that your sixth sense is constantly perceiving, too. First you'll discover how to access the psychic abilities you already have. Then I'll show you how to deepen and broaden your psychic skills so that you can make magic and ease happen in your life -- in every area from your love life to your career to a simple trip to the mall.

Tapping into your abilities is far easier and more natural than you would ever expect; it is simply a matter of working through a series of exercises, including creating a sacred space, breath work, and visualizations. Don't worry, I won't have you floating around in the lotus position or having séances while standing on your head chanting. You won't lose yourself, you won't become wacky, you won't become anything other than more of who you want to be. I promise.

Once you've gotten a sense of what psychic energy is, what your abilities are, and how to control them, in part II of this book you'll put it all to use. Many people buy into the myth that in order to achieve balance, you have to live without worldly possessions and give up your personal desires. That's boring! Living within the new energy is about manifesting yourself fully. It means living with grace: having more patience at the checkout counter, or better yet, miraculously attracting a counter with no line. It doesn't mean giving up your passion for shoes!

Opening up to the new energy around you is like using a new tool to create the life you always wanted. It will help you shed your fears and reach for your true destiny; it will lead you in the right direction; and it will help you learn life's lessons with grace and ease -- even send you your soulmate.

This new energy is active. As receptors of this energy, we can pull it down, focus it, and mold it to create what we want to be. We can use it to clear obstacles in the way of our happiness and fulfillment. We can use it to help others and help our world. Think about it: If this energy force can keep nine planets in line, it can show us what we are looking for!

This book will show you, step by step, how to access this energy. You'll learn how to tune it in and how to shut it off. You'll gain the ability to focus and mold it. When you are adept at this, you can do just about anything. You can find your soulmate; discover solutions to your nagging problems; heal your aches and pains; even communicate with your spirit guides and angels. You can avoid bad relationships; prepare for meetings armed with the foreknowledge of what is going to unfold; and know when and what people are thinking about you. If nothing else, developing your psychic ability will make you popular at parties. People will be drawn to you without quite knowing why.

This book is your sixth sense handbook. It is an exercise program for your mind and soul. It is the most direct way to discover your own power station, and by the time you're finished, you'll be a different person. Using this energy has changed my life, for sure. I used to be on autopilot. I was unhappy; I was twenty pounds overweight; and I was afraid my future was full of failure. Once universal energy flowed through my life, I found my destiny; I lost the twenty pounds; and I now appreciate myself in a way I never thought could be.

Tapping into psychic energy puts you in a deep state of awareness that is more relaxing than the best massage or the deepest bubble bath. This book will help you get to that place easily and effortlessly. You will be able to focus on it at the drop of a hat. You will be able to get answers that will make your life easier. You will naturally become more stable and have a more grounded way of looking at the world.

And you'll need these skills. Over the next few years, our world will continue to undergo expansive and sweeping changes. We'll see political, social, and economic developments; earth changes; environmental, technological, and energy advances. We'll need this new energy to prepare for all these global changes, and to make our own very personal definitions of success come true.

The things our parents took for granted are no longer afforded us; "security" is no longer defined as a three-bedroom house and a retirement-path job. And we wouldn't want that anyway. We want to experience our individual freedom, happiness, and destiny. Working at the same company for twenty years and living a stable life isn't what the world is about anymore. We seek our unique paths, the deeper meaning of why we're here. As never before, we want to recognize who we are; we want to fulfill our unique destinies. We want to go for it and not stop till we get there.

Healthy intuition and a deep understanding of "the way things work" is our natural state of grace. It is our birthright; all we have to do is rediscover it. Now more than ever, a little effort goes a long way. Come with me, and watch a new and exciting world open up right in front of you!

Great for meditation
By Maria full of grace
I think this book was excellent for meditation. I enjoyed all of the exercises and everything was really easy to follow. I was so excited about the book I thought I would venture out for a reading. The reading wasn't very good at all. I think Stacey is good at capturing your feelings in the future but not so good at actual predictions and details of her predictions...but buy the book, it's worth every penny.

nothing new in this book
By Bindi
There is nothing new in this book that hasn't been written about in a thousand books before it. A mishmash of new age fluffy bunny mixed with rehashed psychic information that can be found in books as far back as you care to go. Lots of stuff from the 60'and 70's mixed with all that new ager stuff that started popping up in the 80's and 90's. Also the book is off putting in it's arrogance, as well as being erroneous, in regards to how the author's generation is somehow more gifted psychically by somehow being "preprogrammed to be more psychic". Give me a break. What a bucket of utter hogwash. There are other, better books in this genre to spend your hard earned dollars on, don't waste it on this one.
