Title: If this is good Trek, blech!
Review: Although I am a fan of all the Star Trek TV series, I only read the occasional Trek book. If this book is typical or considered fine, I'm glad I haven't read more. The characters were flat, much of the dialogue bland - and this based on characters with rich, complex development from TV! I realize that authors' have limited liberty to work with the main characters from the series, but numerous times I nearly set the book aside out of disappointment. Spoiler Alert! Quick - how do we save Deanna from the monstrous serpent? How else: her empathic powers convince the beast "We are friends from long ago." Books such as this serve best as a bad example: here's how you don't do it. Although it's been many years since I read it, I'd recommend "Vendetta" over "Genesis Force" any day.
