"Very enjoyable read! An unusual Star Trek book in that 90% of the book takes place on Earth. It appears that the recent Star Trek movie was inspired by this book, they might just as well have used this book to make that movie.
One particularly enjoyable aspect of this is you get Spock's first observations of humans. I wish there was more of this. This is also a prequel to a Star Trek original series episode, the one with Kodos the Executioner; quite cleverly done by Shatner (assuming he and not the other writers was responsible for that.)
Of course the climax is a "save the day at the last minute" type of thing. But there is also a satisfying denoument which was often the case with the original series."
"This is the first Star Trek novel I have read, but I was not disappointed. Certainly, it is not the same as the actual TOS episodes, but this is a wonderful story in which Kirk and Spock are teenagers, still trying to figure things out. I suppose that might stall some people up, who only want to think of Spock as the infallibly-logical Vulcan and Kirk as the righteous, ever-confident captain, rather than the raw characters the boys in these novels are, but you can see evidence of where they will grow and become thee officers we know. I enjoyed the imagination involved behind this novel as well as the interesting scenarios in which Kirk and Spock got themselves caught. It was an entertaining, fun, and quick read, and I would recommend it to many of my fellow Trekkies."
