Book Review of The Star Lost (Star Trek : The Next Generation)

The Star Lost (Star Trek : The Next Generation)
Destructa avatar reviewed on + 78 more book reviews


Collecting one of DC's finest NextGen storylines, from issues 20-24. Worf, Riker and other crew members are on a medical mission when their shuttlecraft disappears. The others are forced to come to terms with their presumed deaths, but they have urgent missions to complete. Beverly in particular is devastated, having lost her only son. The away team, of course, is still alive and must overcome a nest of enemies and a starship trap to reach safety. Meanwhile, the Enterprise assists the natives of a water world, but Deanna discovers these people are hiding a dark secret.
Michael Jan Friedman is one of Trek's favorite writers, and his run at DC comics is no exception. The characters are resourceful as always in facing their many challenges, but the grief of "the ones left behind" is truly powerful.
