Star Trek: Nemesis - novelisation for
younger readers by John Vornholt check out website: www.simonsays.co.uk or www.startrek.com
After fifteen years of service, Will is going off to command the Titan with his new bride. Beverley Crusher is off to become commander of Starfleet Medical. This is a time for reflection.
On their way to the second 'Betazed wedding', the crew of the Enterprise are asked to meet with the new Praetor and discuss a new peace between the Romulans and the Federation. Unfortunately, the only real worry isn't that peace talks will fall down but that they will never even start. Eventually the very survival of Earth hangs in the balance. This version of ‘Star Trek: Nemesis’ is the junior one, written in condensed form using undetailed description. The story really is quite good, although I couldn't quite put my finger on how old young readers are supposed to be. This version seems too old for the likes of say nine to eleven-year-olds but too young for teenagers of say thirteen or fourteen. That just leaves twelve-year-olds! The book is concise and very easy to read for someone of my age. It is in places a little violent and a little scary but not enough to upset the likes of double-figured children. You only have to look at the readership of Harry Potter that is very scary, to know that a little blood or gore won't put them off or harm their sensibilities. The sets of colour images from the film are good but do not really give away any of the story to anyone snatching a sneaky peek. The text of the book is spaced out quite a bit, making the story easier to read. Overall this book is good. I'd like to think that young fans of the film will like it, too. It is easy to read and makes for an enjoyable book to be associated with the film. Donna Jones
