Corona

book review Bear, Greg: Corona. Heyne, 1984/1988.



Story: The USS Enterprise NCC-1701 follows a ten- Year-old emergency call to a remote research post. Captain Kirk , Spock and pill are based on many victims, but the greater the confusion, as the head of the institution in good health and totally absorbed in one of its projects encounter.
Further investigation can then be easily startled the officers, for it is clear that the volcanic researchers couple and their children to hide anything and hinder the rescue of the remaining located in cold sleep researchers deliberately.
late, almost too late to find the crew members out at last that a strange, disembodied nature of the will of the station staff controlled and stretches out his feelers to the Enterprise and its crew. It pursues a diabolical plan that the existence of the universe as we know it ends and leads back to a state that existed just after the Big Bang .
Work on an apparatus for the extinction of the universe is almost complete and Captain Kirk must look on helplessly as the galaxy slowly begins to unravel ...

praiseworthy aspects : The most brilliant of "Corona" said Roman is without question its author, Greg Dale Bear . In the inclined friends of science fiction, the man is a stranger, for he is not only the son of the writer legend Poul Anderson , but has long since acquired with novels such as " Darwin's Radio ", " The city on the edge of time " or " votes " a reputation that he was in previous family celebrations a comfortable seat at the family table in sight of the family patron saint guaranteed.
So it's no surprise that Bear the awards of the genre were just thrown behind Sun Even Doris Lessing , the literary Nobel Prize winner in 2007 and Aunt Gregor Gysi evidenced by their open enthusiasm for the author and his work:

" I also admire the classic science fiction, like, blood Music 'by Greg Bear. He is a great writer. "
(freely translated quote from the English-language Wikipedia article removed)

That he was taken for a (single) Star Trek novel is not surprising, since 1984, the subsequent success of Star Trek novels had long not in sight. The fifteenth book ever published with a profitable guest writers to bring more sales is old hat and the Bears address it just seems the right place to be, proves to be similarly comprehensive commitment to Star Wars , Halo and Ringworld novels (which Star Trek species of the Kzinti owes). By
Bears many years as author of various science fiction 'also explains the frequent Techno Babbel in this book. The author tried, namely, their own, to project ideas gained through his work on the Star Trek universe. Of course, reads measure that for the modern reader, for which the rules of the Warpfluges after six series and eleven films have gained clear contours, somewhat cryptic, but in the early days of Star Trek novels, the books often had with the products of other authors . let Finally
It was Isaac Asimov , so to speak, the prophet of science fiction literature, the Star Trek as a serious part of the established genres, as according to his own testimony was

" Star Trek ... the most ambitious example of science fiction on television. "
freely translated quote taken from Starlog, Issue No. 02, 1976 , from the article" Gene Roddenberry Article from Starlog # 2 "of the very interesting blog" My Star Trek Scrapbook "

Only later drifted the relatively rigid Star Trek universe and the various independent science-fiction worlds so far apart that a guest authorship and this was hardly possible. All the more remarkable is that it manages the surprise star here and there, sometimes miteinzubringen a slightly different perspective.
For example, the abstraction is the concept of freedom for a non-humanoid beings quite a considerable meta-level, which is only rarely in episodes or movies attention, although it was not without a certain logic:
to Where do we think a being that never in a shaped society lived to know the legal theory Terminus? In addition, also from Bear
fill gaps that had been deprived of the understanding. He explained as simple as brilliant, why people give priority to the USS Enterprise in service do (see p. 10).



Corona - Who invented it?

criticisms made aspects: The confusion begins in the title. What is a Corona?
course you can push the name to that imported from Mexico beer the blame for the 224 pages in the shoes. Even more difficult is the Polish football club from Kielce or even the Toyota model from the eighties. Who
contrast from the beginning to the outermost layer of spheres thought the sun may, perhaps in law feel, but is still wrong, because the term is in fact an alien, non-humanoid species described, around which the story turns slightly knitted.
In itself 'life in other forms, "Yes an interesting topic, but it was already in the classical series treated quantitatively adequate and qualitatively better. In its published form it is able to convince any second, to tie or even to arouse interest in some form. It lags in all the author's expertise in terms of science fiction is simply behind the standard that has set the TV series back in the sixties.
Anecdotal evidence shows that Bear has dealt with only half-heartedly with the template; for these shortcomings are continued in the characters. The triumvirate of Kirk, Spock and pill shows at best a superficial similarity to the models on television and also the supporting characters, no additional scope for development is given.
In comparison, only the minor characters were able to cut off even worse.
the first place it would be to call the press representative Rowena Mason. It is not even their occupation, their sex or age the problem, but the fact that they are more or less (rather more) turned out to be disguised space Nazi. Your socialized racism seems so anachronistic in a world of Member Federation And a time when the Terra Prime should long since a thing of the past that you feel literally pushed the nose forward to get here have rather served up a current day political issue. So I really hope fervently that the eventual conversion of the reporter and how to overcome their own prejudices no thinly disguised parable about the slow time in the USA incipient social abolition of racial discrimination or which is to be apartheid in South Africa .
only marginally more comfortable reading the figure of the computer experts Veblen, for behind the innocuous sounding name hides a poorly disguised Image of the 'nerds ' in the classic sense. There are in fact "[...] a small and chubby man [...], whose appearance "slanted eyes " also by a "large bulbous nose " and is determined (see p. 24). He works in a windowless room deep inside the ship, and spends his time with the maintenance and monitoring of computers.
So much for the cliché - but of course the future is not so rosy when the supposed outsider would not be yet another oh-so-great member of the oh-so-great crew of an oh-so-great ship.
peace, joy, pancakes!
The ugly duckling can be a beautiful swan and the nerd readers bask in the well-being, but none of the useless existence or shade product of society. One wonders even now and then, for which Bear has the target group of his novels.
While one can see the 'Nerd' problem as such, is designed to identify the Vulcans as a much more difficult, but this is not limited only to the few grünblütigen figures remain the same but affects the entire species.
This starts already at the door.
As the home system of the pointy eared Federation members will namely Epsilon Eridani (see p. 217) called. This is not unreasonable, because the system, also known as 18 Eridani located only 10.5 light years away from our own - that is at a distance, the curious out by research teams in Star Trek VIII justified.
have, however, influential voices like Gene Roddenberry (the creator Star Trek), James Blish (the first Star Trek author) or Diane Duane (the author of the authoritative work ' Spock's World ') volcano locates across the board in the similar-sounding system 40 Eridani, which is also better to give evidence in the Enterprise episode " home" matches, after which amount to the distance from the earth 16 light years.
Now it may of course in the heat of the moment perfectly well happen that one confused by 18 Eridani, 40 Eridani. But people with Vulcans?
the descriptions of the author, according to people were actually rather be able to evade the psionic influence Coronas, as the Vulcans, have the least facilities of sophisticated mental techniques and in order to protect itself against foreign intellectual influence, how about in the TOS episode "Spock out of control" and "Wild West in space" and in the Voyager two-parter " workers can see. " Here the universe but taking the head. Vulcans are not able to resist the Corona-being, while most people immune to the efforts of the overpowering nature are to obtain access to their consciousness.
Vulcans seem inferior by a direct comparison - a conclusion which can not meet with the statements of the classic series.
far from the window leans Bear finally with descriptions of specific volcanic rituals. The claim that children show some Vulcans Spock their respect in that they wash his hands (cf. p. 216) is no less ridiculous than the alternative Vulcan greeting (see P. 217), by which the relatives of Spock same is adopted.



finger cusps facing ears: The Secret volcanic Masonic greeting

translation : You can tell this novel only too clear that he is one of the early works of translation experiments out of the Heyne-Verlag.
First, you meet clumsy old friends like " Starfleet " (p. 14) instead of ' Starfleet ', " Starbase " (p. 14) instead of ' Starbase' or " discus " (S . 48) instead of ' saucer ' again, but you can also old unknowns such as " Gleitpalette " (p. 107) instead of ' anti-gravity lift ', " flying boat " (p. 122) instead of ' Shuttle ' or ' Dockdüsen ( p. 137) instead of 'maneuvering thrusters ' encounter.
confusing the term " Andoraner " (p. 10), or as stated on page 21: " Andorran . This, however, by no means
are residents of a small European states in the Pyrenees meant, but actually ' Andorian '. Here I
must admit that the species already in the German dubbing of the TOS episode "Journey to Babel " has been assigned to that flaw. Although her name was in contrast to 'telluric' and 'Romulaniern' exceptionally pronounced correctly, but according to Kirk is the home of the blue skins, therefore called 'Andorra'. The inhabitants of this planet as 'Andorran' to refer to, is therefore only logical that even if often the term 'Andorian' falls in order to know better.
would be a uniform spelling of the species - in whatever form - certainly was not too high fretted claim.
similar discrepancy exists at the George Orwell of masterpiece ' 1984' reminiscent monitoring devices that can get here all the wrong plural " monitors " (from p. 25) imposed. Did you used to it, the book suddenly swung around again, and is the correct form " monitors" (p. 200).
prove to be particularly stubborn is also once again the old problem of misplaced prefixes. While you can ignore the single mention of " Ergschilde " (p. 97) yet confidently, another prefix pulls on the thin nerve ceiling. This time, however, is
they do not " Medo-" but simply " Med ", so cold you are in " Medjacken " (p. 90) to death pushes " Medakten " (p. 97) in the shredder or enjoys the meager equipment of a " Medzentrums " (p. 130) of 23 Century!
Of course it's nice that a prefix is used, as he ended with ' Medkit ' in the German dubbing Star Treks. This, however, no license was issued for every really ever so slightly of medical related object arbitrarily by " Med to deface. Since one wishes almost " Medo-" back! But only almost, because even if it with an extra 'o' sounds a little better, the situation is absurd in itself.
Although it may not fit so completely under the heading 'Translation', I must also complain that the cover has to do really anything with the contents of the book.
In addition, it is even the same that also " McCoys dreams " graces and there already seemed completely out of place. Why do those responsible for the fact Heyne for this book cover to be thought " Mutiny on the Enterprise moved, where it does not make sense, will probably remain a mystery.
But I swear at all?
So a lecturer, translator , cover designers or editor is only human, and I know after reading this transmission experiment: A
" Invidumm " (p. 150).

Anachronisms: When the earliest (1984) book, it stands to reason that its contents will be obtained sooner or later, following the canon of films and series.
This book is not different, but for a moment I have to protectively in front of it. The speed mentioned
Warp eleven (see p. 30) that is going all right, because most Trekkies know since episodes like " stone and dust " or "My name is Nomad " that at times a different TOS Warpskala was used than in TNG (a small, non-serious and more collegial dig at the very readable review of ant ).
scold Then I'd rather be at the continued use of money as cash (see, eg, p. 11, p. 27, p. 63, etc.).
strange but seem to little clues that are given to the chronological order. McCoy's statement, ten years are the longest known "[...] Hibernationsphase "(p. 103) suggests that the events of the episode" Space Seed took place. "
The statement that Kirk will include 45 Lenzen (see p. 23) puts the action between the first and the second feature film while Spock's age of 79 years to a time long after the " Generations "and refers to the Abbleben Kirk.
short, complete nonsense.
But hardly anyone is concerned about all the trouble, the absurdity of these times at all points to note, if already can be read on page nine, that the USS Enterprise will be the first large ship, "[...] which was equipped with a warp drive . "This reckless assertion bites actually with just about anything to that time in TOS ( metamorphosis ") or TAS (" The Time Trap ) was observed on the subject.
gropest addition, writer Greg Bear in a Fettnäpfen that Ira Graves in the TNG episode understood " The strange memory " to use for the more enjoyable ways:
He is on record that Vulcan Romulans and Klingons were related to each other (see p. 62) - if Worf would hear that!
The 'grandfather' Data's also provides a wonderful transition to the failure to be technical possibilities, the Bear of the TOS-era attributes. Thus, the
is mentioned Robosteward (see p. 23) with a view to androids as Ruk , Rayna Kapec or Norman understandable but as a glimpse into the next century is revealed, mankind still a long way from being to produce androids such as Data (see " Whose Data? ").
But that is not enough. A "[...] tiny implant in the neck [...]" Kirk will not only ensure that foreign languages are translated simultaneously, but also for the mental Receiving high-speed data transfers (see p. 28). Futuristic nonsense, which was already mentioned in the episode "Metamorphosis" by the existence of a technical device called universal translator the water was dug. It also raises the question in the space, why not try the corona being tackled with technical means, if you were already in possession of such technology.
The anachronisms go largely due to lack of knowledge of the original series and had can be avoided if Bear had really settled down to what already existed in 1984 Star Trek episodes and movies. This alone would
errors as the speech of female crew members as 'Mister' (p. 10) can be prevented, it was already at that time in any series, and still yet to hear any film.

Conclusion: It is often in Hollywood trying to make up for a bad screenplay by massive star presence. This works but very rarely and usually ends in a product that does not justify the expense.
behaves similar with this book. Guest writer Greg Bear can not do it, the pool of previously published works to contribute an exciting, appealing, or even challenging work.
On the contrary, Corona is one of the weakest books in the Star Trek novels ever. The reason for this is tragic as the author himself, since he failed to adequately deal with the presentation and to include figures, environment and context in their nature.

Destiny 03: Lost Souls

Mack Book Review: David: Lost Souls. Cross Cult, 2008/2010.



Story : After Riker through the help of the powerful Erika Hernandez to escape from the Caeliar area back to Federation territory is possible, also finds himself on the battlefield again, on which a pack Borg ships seven thousand times just an Allied fleet of Alpha Quadrant massacred. The battle is long since beaten and silent witness the wreck and debris untold numbers of ships to the complete fiasco of this planned initial shock. The armada of Borg cubes penetrates namely in the surrounding areas of the Romulans a Klingons and Federation without benefiting noted that the piece brought tumbled evacuation fleets and defense associations notable successes against the merciless preceding cybernetic beings. Well-known worlds like Khitomer , Rura Penthe , Regulus or Deneva be razed to the ground and literally wiped out. In short, the situation is completely hopeless.
But among the ruins by the USS Titan unexpectedly an old friend:
Riker's longtime boss Captain Picard and his proud ship, the USS Enterprise's legendary start here with Captain Ezri Dax of the USS Aventine plans to strike back. But only in Erika Hernandez, the three commanders find the key to solving the problem. In a highly controversial task captures the USS Aventine from a smaller Borg scout to the upgraded from the Caeliar Hernandez to enthrone a new Borg Queen . The plan goes well, attacks on volcano , Andoria and Qo'noS be stopped at the last moment and almost half of the enemy cubes can be destroyed.
However, it remains the action is not without consequences. The Borg Queen takes control back quickly mobilized a fleet of ships to the earth and makes himself on the way to the Borg Scout, to the arrogant amateur actress and potential rival to put an end ...

praiseworthy aspects : Enjoy your meal! If you feel like a rich house specialty, will not be disappointed because the Star Trek fan will be served with this series a real literary treat. And who started first with the consumption of these series will be their sweeping voltage escape impossible. The fast-paced roller coaster ride across the galaxy is even when sedentary browsing on the cushy chair lots of additions of adrenaline and makes it difficult to put the book down to eat, sleep or go to work.
This is the signature of celebrity chef David Mack and last volume of his epic trilogy Destiny finally come together all the threads that he has spun over the previous works so carefully. This spell can not escape - there's any resistance truly futile. Ingeniously, he gives us an insight into the deep recesses of the Borg-evolution allows us to galactic blitzkrieg of Mechanical Engineering from the perspective of perpetrators (see p. 119ff.) Victim (see p. 124ff.) And police (229ff.) and allows the inspection of the situation is still out in Axion remaining outside the Titan team and then a brief furlough from the images of the war raging like a madman.
The whole is a vast range of references of previous series (see page 49 / TOS, p. 220f. / TAS, p. 216 / TNG, p. 354 / DS9, p. 300 / VOY or p. 97, ENT), movies (see p. 40, p. 295 or p. 330) and books (see p. 41, p. 234 or p. 235 garnished) and spiced with a neat, but never disturbing touch of humor (see . p. 18, 29 or p. 91).
would be worth mentioning really only the previously unknown ingredients. The Borg and their origin to demystify the veil lifted its existence and finally finds a series of questions to answer:
Where does the term 'Borg'? (P. 254)
was like the first command to the drones? (P. 255)
Which species have assimilated the Borg first? (P. 263)
The large, albeit risky, however, lies elsewhere Glanztat Macks. The
described in "Lost Souls" events, the Borg are as a species, enemy and stress-producing moment that is finally taken to the grave!
This is certainly a very radical step, because on the one hand is lost one of the most exciting aspects of TNG, other hand, the whole 'Next Generation' is released from a contaminated site that has at least since their trivialization and soft mud lost in too many Voyager episodes of drama. A door is closed forever, but one can also argue that Mack is not only a worthy conclusion to this chapter has found Star Trek history, but ushered in a return to the good old values of research, discovery and scientific exploration. An opportunity for future writers of truly new adventures and a bar for action-obsessed managers well-known motifs! Picard's new freedom (see p. 391) provides at least the possibility of a restart for a TNG novel series that has so far fallen far short of their expectations and possibilities.

criticisms made aspects: a bad aftertaste, the third course of this already masterful menus. This ensures that the man once again the center of the world. For the thousands of different species, which were presented in series, films and books so far, it must of course be just people who are laying the foundation stone for the Borg-Gesellschaft. This has slowly tiring, because it forces itself on the idea that species 'man' is a galaxy-wide popularity of the special pleasure. They are abducted and enslaved as beasts of ( The 37 "or" Darling "), the source omnipotent beings (" Plato's Stepchildren "or" Star Trek The Movie ") or only in a position to higher beings like Prophet ( in the Sand ") or Q (" Q- crisis ") to bail out. At some point, this supremacy begins in a galaxy full of competitors such as Klingons, Vulcans , or even Ocampa credibility.
a particularly bitter aftertaste leaves a fact of bothers me since the first part of the book. Once again a war of great power support.
course, this is a good way, as in the Dominion wars in DS9 or Xindi story arc was evident in Enterprise. To raise the index finger warningly in this tradition, a whole arsenal of classic themes is taken from popular anti-war films, to show how bad war really is:
senseless battle scenes as in Full Metal Jacket (see, eg, p. 183ff. ), surgical carnage in M * A * S * H * (see p. 219ff.) or kamikaze maneuvers as in "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Love the Bomb "(see p. 120ff.). But even if I can see the good intention behind it, has all but the mere purpose of entertaining conversation at the expense of human (and extraterrestrial) life subordinate to my feeling after is the pacifist basic idea Star Trek's difficult to reconcile.
was probably for this reason, much too short appearance Geordi LaForge for me the real highlight of the book. Its so risky as vehement refusal to build Thalaron weapon (see p. 337), was a refreshing contrast to the moral theme of 'obedience unto death,' as they are about in the quote Kopek (See can see Memorable quotes ). It is this sentence evokes unpleasant memories of the so-called truce that allowed the First World War and its 17 million victims on our planet.
but 17 million are not even on silent against the 63 billion deaths this conflict, of the utter destruction of major planets like Risa , Coridan or Deneva altogether. The incredibly high death toll ended the existence of many cherished places in the Star Trek universe, and when we read of the destruction of the birthplace Spock (see p. 236), seems to the reader the destruction of the entire planet in the volcano eleventh movie no longer so far-fetched, because the seeds of this radical crop was laid back in this trilogy. Unpleasant
Constance, also in the figure representation. Most of the known and unknown characters suffer on the 421 pages of lack of space and can not wait to express themselves properly.
All this is particularly evident at the legendary Captain Picard. The icon of a generation of Trekkies acts in the largest part of the book is simply old, grumpy and unmotivated, and even at the refurbishment of his ready room more vigor than in all his command issues (see p. 67). This impression can also be the sudden change towards the end of the book become irreversible, because Picard cathartic collapse (see p. 381f., p. 385f. and p. 389ff.) was more humiliating than the real rebirth of its former strength.
course, this development into a slide Picard decision timid wimp to the many books in which the captain supposed to have become that person.
Doof only that some references to not yet published in German language books such as "A Time to Heal " (see p. 98 and p. 325), the eBook " Remembrance of Things Past " (see S . 234) or "Small World "(P. 305) allude. Constantly feels as if you miss important developments because many items are not yet published in German.
And that can also take time.
Meanwhile, you can at least console themselves that at least one Austrian and one German in the novel have their presence. While the Austrians Graylock one of the first Borg at all (cf. p. 253f.) Caught the Germans Steinhauer comparatively even worse: he is certified not only very little humor (see p. 24) but also the thankless role of that group member zugeschanzt that as part of a tour through privation turns and runs amok (see P. 152). That our culture will also ship with pool Starfleet just the term ' Tirpitz ' contributes (see p. 120), is a sad testimony that we can continue either through our own history, nor the prejudices of other nations We are over get over.

translation: such a volume about 400 pages is certainly not easy to translate. More gratifying that Stephanie margins in this volume are little nakedness and delivers a well-transferred novel.
instead to smaller errors as the use of the English term '"Ensign " (p. 209) the German, Ensign ', the decimal point slipped in " intact, t " (p. 130) or the inconsistent capitalization of' flagship officers "(p. 232) I do not dwell too long because a work of this size, the absolute number of errors is within tolerance.
A source of amusement, however, was the innovative spelling of " Beta Rigel " (p. 129) as "beta bars " (p. 228), which not only have an appetite for chocolate in my action but I unfortunately in vain for a clerical error à la Beta Rygel XVI ' had hoped.



Beta Bars - Easy to bite

The only point with a real stomach pain factor was the ratio of Siezen and "tu" form. It is of course understandable that Beverly Crusher and her husband no longer Sie "(see p. 211ff.) And also for Worf and LaForge it was time to which non-personal, you go to '( see p. 345ff.).
But that just Picard and Riker name basis (see p. 291ff.) Feels for a Star Trek fan who grew up with the local synchronization, simply just terribly wrong. Something
all General finally struck me only at the final volume in this series. While I was trapped in the mistaken belief that this trilogy named after the USS Destiny back, served on the Ezri Dax before their union as Counselor, I was with Picard's actual namesake of Thoughts fate. "(p. 69) proved wrong.
pity that this German term has not made it into the title, because of course all the sounds in English dashing, but a German-language titles have not hurt this series.

anachronisms : David Mack is seldom to his readers by anachronisms salty before meals. His works are mostly researched and neatly congruent with what is considered the official canon.
frightening the more that this time in this book is no longer the case. The fact that his ideas for history of the Borg in this shape from the canon, you can actually be heard in a statement Guinan from the TNG episode " time jump with Q "

" These are lives a mixture of organic and artificial life. They have been around for millions of years. "

Granted, the original English reads this last sentence

" They're made up of organic and artificial life, Which has been developing for thousands of centuries. "

but even if one with 2000, the lowest plurality of 'thousands of centuries' as a basis, as is the '4527 BC' (p. 247) proclaimed year definitely not in the birth of the Borg question. And if people are to have been in all seriousness, the first assimilated species, then why is their Borg designation 5518 (see " The Dark Frontier ") and not 'one', or at least 'two', if you include the Caeliar?
is also unclear why Picard shower in the old fashioned way works with water, although sound showers long been the standard on ships of the Starfleet (cf. p. 68). Equally mysterious is the fact that Picard and Riker apparently for his food had to pay money (see p. 419), although even in the eighth feature film was still such a passionate plea for the development of the people on the monetary schemes, .
was particularly surprised me, the intimate atmosphere between Riker and Ezri Dax (see p. 101). I have found so far in no follow, no film and no other book an indication of where might know this couple. Or was the lady's man about a secret affair with before he joined Trill married to Deanna ?

Conclusion: As a friend of unusual final words I would finally draw a parallel of the culinary kind. As Erika Hernandez replaced after centuries regain access to human food, they feel their food as "bland ", " rubbery" and "greasy " (p. 97). She longs, not wrongly, for good, homemade fare.
was similar to me after I finished the third volume in the series.
the irretrievable losses of blood dripping from the book are for my taste "greasy " the way Mack zurechtbog the canon in his favor, seems to me to ' rubbery "and the characters are at best" fad. "
Just before Hernandez leaves the Titan again, it takes again a farewell to him, and noted that it would make the right choice indeed "very good " taste and "fantastic " (p. 341).
And again it happened to me like that. So I think Mack is so typical for the mixture of excitement, humor and references still show " quite well" and succeeded his idea, the Borg finally to bury, is simply " fantastic. " The author has created with this trilogy without question the highlight of the later Star Trek literature, but is not free of blame, but definitely wanting more. read out, as the successor-author William Leisner now sweeping the broken pieces together to give the TNG continued a new direction, I already met with great anticipation.

praiseworthy aspects : Keith RA DeCandido remains true to his style: As in "The Laws of the Federation " or "quintessence " is also the author of this book concentrated on background knowledge. The numerous allusions (eg to the beaming with approaching the speed of light in " The strange memory ", see p. 227), cross-references (eg to in "The Laws of the Federation" mentioned conflict between Delta agents and Correanern, see p. 29) and reviews (eg, the ironic dig at Kira's pregnancy, see p. 40) are as numerous as the guest stars, which otherwise so fine People like Scotty (see p. 34), Garak (see p. 238) or Mackenzie Calhoun (see p. 31) count.
One of these stars is highlighted: Gul Macet . This Cardassians from the TNG episode "The Wounded is mainly why so noteworthy because he was by none other than Marc Alaimo embodies. The actor, who previously had been several roles at TNG taken, was sent in the first place by his performance Gul Dukat DeCandido famous and knows how to drive with the fact literary hoax. He also explains this apparent similarity, which themselves are Kira (see p. 111) and Nog (p. 234) aware of cousins (p. 121) and helps to relieve Erklärungsnot of the official canon.
But references to episodes, books or actors ranging from DeCandido not. The author of books and various other comics series, it did not take to hide a small Easter eggs, apply to these works.
It has me as a great lover of sci-fi series "Farscape " very pleased that Ro on a ship called " Zelbinion " was used, although I think I may very well be, why .. "[ .] whose names she had no one can explain. .



But yet discovered: The Zelbinion

general, you have to say that the author has managed an entertaining novel. Of course can not be considered any of the countless characters on DS9 in such a book is sufficient and therefore it is only natural that DeCandido picks out the raisins . In particular, Shar, Kira, Taran'atar, Quark and Ro Laren learn more lighting, the sometimes profound fails (in the first three characters), but sometimes amusing (in the latter two).
But this is different does not mean that the other characters worth mentioning, or even idle. Thus, Vaughn must prove as a crisis manager (see, eg, S. 189ff.) And the Trill Ezri experiencing serious personal problems that resulted from his involuntary association with the Dax (see p. 130ff.).
As if this were not enough, DeCandido also brings another new character on board - a fact that could complicate the following authors may work, but here the concept fits well and gives the station a sexy note (see S . 239ff.).

criticisms made aspects: Although I am basically an integration with the canon and in as many references rejoice, I must admit that you can be here quickly drowned by the flood of information. Reason is the variety of names, which accepts many species or many places you at some point without reflection only. This is a shame because so little hints as to Farscape (or those that my colleague ant was in its review identify) in the mass of new names and then quickly disappear. Nevertheless, this book provides
also impressive, giving the feeling that you missed something. The reason is the lack of other books that belong to the "Gateway " series .
"demons of air and darkness" is merely a novel from a series that deals with the portals Iconia closer working. Although a translator Humble Christian attention to that fact and insured in a footnote, " A knowledge of the other title is not for the understanding of the ongoing book series at Cross Cult necessary. "(p. 316) and also mentioned there that the New Frontier of this series will be released probably also in German, but a resolution of the epoch-border action is barred by the reader. One wonders at the end of the book that is somewhere that the portals will now remain forever, or why the Voyager not she uses to return home.
justified in this series is and the stark split in the work, because actually there are two books in one: Part 1 "demons of air and darkness" and Part 2, "Horn and Ivory". Although I am Cross Cult very grateful for having the second part (see p. 253ff.) Integrated in this edition, but I must admit though, that this greatly in quality and significance of the first, more on fixed Adventure partially lifted.
central theme here is the fact Bajoran religion for prophet - a sensitive issue in my eyes. The religious aspect of Deep Space Nine's for me was always a stigma on the series, especially episodes like "Holy visions "therefore came frighteningly esoteric rather than to seriously deal with the matter 'religiosity'.
Unfortunately, they very suddenly on in book form. Instead of the path taken, a critical analysis, which was eingschlagen with " revelation " continue, builds "Horn and Ivory" open to the aforementioned episode (cf. p. 291ff.) And lost in a turgid prophetic vision, without adequately to relate to the problems of the pariah status of Stationskommandantin. There remains only the hope that close the gap next novels.
As Europeans bothered me also the Disney Park of prejudice, which the name itself after his Italian-born DeCandido here called 'Europa Nova. Besides kitschy stereotypes about Southerners flirting (see p. 136f.) Espresso addict extended families (see p. 137f.) Novoneogotischer or architecture (see p. 73) one can see the 'New Europe' little more than a larger rural town with Italian, or gripe at best English place names. If there should be only the author had the intention to live out his stereotypes, he can name the planets Italia Minor or Mezzogiorno Nova . What
me but even more than political correctness was missing was a final Essay, as he wrote Julian Wang often for the various previously published works. Something like this would certainly have been helpful, and would even subject it well enough. For example, you can
would write something about the Andorian and their population crisis, the lost civilizations like Iconian need to look in more detail or history Bajor will explain in more detail.
The absence of this final point is sad because these final remarks were always something that stood out the cross-cult-Heyne-books from the predecessors, and even the American originals.

Translation: When Christian Humble translated there is hardly anything objectionable. The errors are minimal, such as " sinbd " (p. 159), and even if terms such as "foreign officer" (p. 31) and " medikit " (instead of 'Medkit', p. 40) something to Heyne remember lying quality worlds, if not galaxies between the two products.
However, I do wonder why Root Beer "(p. 64) was nontransferable, while in" birch beer "" herbal beer "(p. 249) was. Also what is behind the term "ignorant Stoffel " (p. 31) is hidden, you have me ollem Zoni explain well again.
But these two examples are an example of this initiative, I would like to translators, and I therefore do not hold against them.
Then you earlier, that the terms " Shelliak " (instead of ' Sheliak ', p. 62) and " Paluku " (instead of ' Palukoo ', p. 287) taken at incorrect spellings from the original was. Not for nothing, there are now Memory Alpha, where I once had a correction really happy.

Anachronisms: There is much in such a thorough study fails to complain about here. The only
really noteworthy contradiction is the fact that the Orion Erin Treir is described as a slave of the influential independent Malic. She is a whore in a privileged patriarchal organized mafia, they could thank Quark and Ro Laren escape.
Looking at the Enterprise episode " The connection " but derives a very different picture: the strong pheromones Orionerinnen they can be in the men only beguiled Enforcers are female commands to the actual drivers and rulers of Orion Society.
for this contradiction can not blame DeCandido, however, for his 2001's book was in the U.S. impossible to anticipate the development of the 2004 first episode aired. But the author did
exercise but elsewhere neglect: while it allows the Malon own distance measure (see p. 17) that use the ancient Bajorans very human kilometers (see p. 288).

Conclusion: In the usual way that Keith RA DeCandido once again taken advantage of the cannon and it cobbled together an entertaining and celebrating the fourth volume of the Deep Space Nine series.
differs, however, "demons of air and darkness" slightly off the path, the one taken by the previous volumes, especially in the second round and weaker back part "Horn and Ivory" to the esoteric approaches that are already in the series more bad than good.
also missing from the end of the resolution of that storyline, which deals with the Iconia portals and also the final essay, the recent Star Trek novels by Cross Cult have done so especially, could have been easier for the reader's understanding.

The Federation

Reeves-Stevens, Garfield; Reeves-Stevens, Judith: The Federation. Heyne, 1994/200.



Story: When the young Zefram Cochrane the warp drive the first time successfully tested bride is on the horizon A storm unforeseen scale together, for one to take the earth with the new goal of peaceful exploration and colonization of space, he must watch as his beloved home planet of its own people in rubble and ashes are placed. Mediation in turn run into the absolute opposite, and finally, the brilliant physicist itself is the focus of a fascist movement, which requires him to come out the construction plans is a silver bullet for global achievement of final victory.
course refuses the moral integrity Cochrane, to give this super weapon in the hands of a crazed fanatic, especially since the so-called 'Warpbombe' not feasible anyway would be. When are the ruins of the Third World War finally cleared away and the man finally found each other, the memory fades quickly at this time horror in the face of new technical innovation and groundbreaking discoveries.
But with the tragic death of his wife on Alpha Centauri Cochrane is quickly brought back to consciousness, that he made these statements without the host. Still chasing his arch enemy Thorsen him to go in the possession of the alleged weapon of mass destruction. So the getting on in years Warppionier makes a supposedly final journey, and disappears without a trace.
His journey leads him finally to the twenty-third Century, where he met none other than Starfleet legend Kirk . But enough of in "Metamorphosis " described events do not mean a long time that the earth would have held his flesh Companion now found his peace on a distant asteroid. The past catches up with him again, and a desperate emergency call reaches the star fleet and thus James Tiberius Kirk, who immediately rushes to rescue again. His efforts, however, end with the fact that Cochrane is thrown again in the future, and may still get to know another Starfleet legends: Jean-Luc Picard ...

praiseworthy aspects : The first encounter with this book was a pretty momentous. Especially difficult, because the nearly 600 pages have a certain deterrent capability and so the book dusted for a long time unnoticed into my shelf. It is the desire for more sophisticated reading in the September issue, the cult publication difficulties in cross in the early autumn crack, this work drew attention back to my area.
proved However, the title "The Federation" in the first moment as no less daunting, especially as already a similarly extensive Roman with the laws thereof employed.
But only "The Federation"? No wonder that the book had such a large scale, for the development of such Community claim must almost inevitably a lot of paper for themselves.
The book's title may come along that is at first dull and rather aussagearm, but while reading it gradually becomes clear how simple, yet ingenious he is elected, because he is less the history of the institution, rather than the romantic ideals that the term linked as such.
And that's just the beginning of a Hussar piece written by a couple who are former primarily as a sidekick for the first-person novels William Shatner under the Star Trek audience a name for himself. However, no one knew exactly where the commitment Shatner began, and that stopped the two Reeves-Stevens couple . Anyone who has read the book itself, however, realizes quickly that the proportion of the actor on his own "novels probably was relatively low.
As of these, common 'plants used stingy, even this far from being cross-referenced to - the nature of the subject to the following - especially TOS (see, eg, p. 24, p. 46 and p. 298) and TNG (see . egp 46, p. 136 or p. 296) concern. While some of these references are so obvious as the meeting with Picard Sarek (cf. p. 86ff.) Or Kirk's meeting with the same (cf. p. 64ff.), others are so subtle that they, for example, on something as banal as the short flags in the background used in 'The Mighty "refer (see p. 29) or the specter" Jack The Ripper "(which, contrary to the expectations expressed on page 266 actually" The wolf in sheep's clothing "again should take physical form) can appear.
suddenly makes much sense at all, which was apparently in the original series told the only way then. Sun Reeves-Stevens finally clarify why the inventor of warp drive by subsequent generations because of all called " Zefrem Cochrane of Alpha Centauri " (cf. p. 60). Sun unfolds with each new page, more and more a network of new information comprehensible, which tie seamlessly to virtually verbatim statements from the series. The two authors managed to achieve on all the 600 pages of never boring coupling of these components into a coherent story, which also encompasses also three different eras. While many of her colleagues have not even hammer out a coherent action within a single period, the author has created here a couple of genius bridge, which you rightly as a worthy alliance between Picard and can call Kirk - a meeting of the generations without direct contact, so to speak.
And not only meet the generations; (. Cf. p. 38ff) in addition to the aforementioned Sarek will also guest stars as Brack or John Burke (see p. 102ff.) A dignified appearance, and even old veterans as Sternbach or Okuda (see p. 39) is a brief mention.
However, this is not all. Particularly in the chapters that revolve around Zefram Cochrane, the authors succeed to build an electric atmosphere. In particular, the scenes in London to remember eerily beautiful classics like "V for Vendetta "," 1984 "or" Children of Men .
also shines the book is not only in structure and change of levels of narration or character representation, but also with the graphic for Star Trek novels rather unusual use of equipment (see p. 186, p. 187, p. 188, p. 409 and S. 414), based on the texts. A very successful idea, even if I the origin of the Starfleet symbol Warptheorie less than attributed to a part of the olive wreath was that the Federation emblem surrounded .



enlightenment during the morning coffee: olive branch instead Warpkurve!

criticisms made aspects : Small errors such as starting a whole torrent of anachronisms, which stand the reader of this novel after reading 600 pages of the proud like a drenched poodle can.
bump into him already on page seven first bad times, suggesting tentatively warned what to expect and if he sees these dark omens, he finds himself right back in a thrilling story, however, with each new page, more and more contradictions to the entangled, which is now regarded as the official canon.
thing is first and foremost, the eighth Star Trek movie "First Contact "debt because the representation Cochrane as a hero against his will he contrasts not only the glorifying description of this book, but also the notes to the political situation of the time. Could untreffender not be:
The Third World War begins, therefore only after Cochrane's historic launch, humanity has supposedly already before this momentous event on various outposts in the system (for example, on Saturn's moon Titan , cf (cf. p. 258f.) . p. 36) and the first trip of the " Bonaventure " (not " Pheonix !", p. 38 above) leads the first Warpschiffes of humanity to Alpha Centauri (see p. 43) - So far out of sight of our home planet.
If we add now the information from the last Star Trek television series 'Enterprise' is added, you can find pretty much all the local Cochrane and descriptions of his early time of action given the lie - about his supposed birth in London (see p. 62 ) until his death in the presence Picard shortly after his meeting with Sarek (see p. 564ff.). A sad fate for such a brilliantly written novel.
more surprising how well the skill to Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens to the degradation of their hard work: In their active participation resulting enterprise episodes of the fourth (and best) season as " The stop "," Unite "and" Terra Prime "which contradict some of her own books open - and of course this. For example, the ratio between Vulcans and humans far not characterized by as much harmony as described here (see p. 216).
is also inharmonious the act knitted. Hatred may well hold up forever, but that such a villain as Thorsson has seen yet, even after three hundred years that a Warpbombe is a physical impossibility, and therefore someone hunts, whose technical expertise has long since ceased with the current requirements of step keep already seems a little implausible.
At the end, finally, the question in the space, why this book is ever published in Germany. Well, it was in America, such as "The Avenger " at precisely the thankless interval between the movies seven and eight, so that the timing must be described as unfortunate indeed, but still can show understanding for it. In this country, but he was released in 2000 - well after the theatrical release of "First Contact". Why was the Heyne publishing house for this book to bring out yet? Was it possibly to the ignorance of the publishing staff with the matter, Star Trek '? Not
that I do have the option completely out of hand would be, but here you should into account the fact that in spite of the scale, despite the contradictions and despite the unnachvollziehbaren motif of the villain, a story has emerged, is second to none and has earned, to appear in Germany. So it's worth more as a sign Heynes, that they would actually meet with the publication of the fans.

translation: All the resulting goodwill to the publisher of flies, when one considers the heart and passion-free translation in more detail. Even the already slow as necessary, or inevitable ill-understood in-house Übersetzungsidiome appear in this work still strange. Instead of " The great bird of the galaxy " read "[...] The big Allgeier [...]" (p. 71), instead of " standard orbit " we read of a " standard orbit " (S . 85) and instead of "Romulan Ale " to consume illegal, has to serve " Romulan beer" as a problem solving agent (p. 168). Similarly, with clumsy words such as "Star Empire the Romulans "(p. 245)," Galaxy-class "(p. 247)," Hangar Ferry "(p. 304)," discussion section "(p. 340)," food vending " (p. 354), " atmosphere controls " (p. 443), " insignia communicator " (p. 563) or " side room radio " (p. 586) - a chamber of horrors from their own creations, the recognition of the in the synchronization established names to the test set.
seem unusual also the unconventional combinations. Of course, you can sometimes over one even mentioned a blind eye " Evakblase " (p. 32), but if " Medoscanner " (p. 70), " Medokit " (p. 122) or " Medobett " (p. 227) without hyphen is written, you wonder as a reader to wonder why he remained in " Medo Department " (p. 124) or receive " Medo- Tricorder" (p. 212).
Thanks to such ill-translations, reading like a ride with a sputtering engine. Heartless translated Ronald M. Hahn also " personnel airlock " with "man lock "(P. 32)," forward view "with" main image viewer "(p. 169) or" [...] processor to processor [...] "with" [...] computer to computer [... ] "(p. 457). Other terms such as the noun " coincidence" (p. 299) or the verb "reinforce " (p. 399) demonstrate vividly the fact that the last will to correct transmission apparently was missing.
make your contribution to the general confusion and the national slots, which gives the translator of the book. While "old Prussian Mustache binding "(p. 168) simple addition to an existing list fits, he translated very free" capture snipe "with" jackalope hunting "(p. 240) and" tactical officer "with" artillery officer "(p. 354). Especially the latter sounds more like military jargon on the U-96 just before the mid-20th Century, but not by enlightened Starfleet on the USS Enterprise of the 24th Century.
These freedoms, which takes out the translator here, may be risky, but at least have they have a certain entertainment value.
fact been more successful than the original, I finally felt the transfers of such sentences as " The next century? "and" And for the next century. "with" In the next century? "(p. 521) or" for the next century. "(p. 559), because one is a bridge to the German subtitles TNG, the meeting Kirk and Picard is entirely suitable.
a shame that the quality of this initiative is ready to dig again and again by something as mundane as the water-forgotten letters, how to " can remember Shra "(p. 71)," Exi "(p. 315)," Sendekapzität "(p. 523) or" Costitution class "(p. 518). In particular, a sentence on page 388 makes this clear:

" Prior to the optimum it an escape. "

What sounds logical is only partly true, because the sentence is in the original

" There was no escape from the optimum. "

Anachronisms: As already noted, the entire story of Zefram Cochrane's life and work of a single anachronism, with severe impact on those Plot lines that extend to Kirk's and Picard's era. Because of this fact on the one already in the " reprehensible aspects was treated well enough, the focus should now be on those anachronisms that are not so easy to apologize later by the following series and movies.
And where could you better start than with the love of money ? The fact is, despite its abolition is still regarded as a means of payment (see p. 74 or p. 545), even if the fourth movie "The Voyage " is strong evidence against it.
Also it is surprising that LaBarre near the French should be capital Paris , because the place in the tranquil Jura a geographical proximity to the city on the Seine to certify a testimony very American 'understanding of geography. The weaknesses
contact in dealing with the years continued, as the war against the Romulans in 2218 , ie "[...] only 57 years after the birth of the Federation [...]" (p. 92) situate, is itself under the temporal information from "Balance of Terror " extremely risky.
are similar temporal Überwürfnisse it with the Constitution-class ships that should be made according to Picard in 2366 for at least 50 years out of service (see S.518). This brings us to the year 2316 - at least 23 years after the final voyage of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 -A , that last hour is known to have fought in "The Undiscovered Country . While I
time gaps of less than a quarter century, perhaps somewhere be felt towards understanding, 4.5 million years have been remarkable. The two authors consider the fact in "The obelisk " as "the wise " designated builder of the artifact as congruent with the proto-humanoids from "The Chase .
Admittedly, this sounds at first quite interesting and Ronald D. Moore was in the "Star Trek Next Generation Companion " to also disclose that this relationship was intended.
But if you compare the two episodes more closely, we quickly notice that this may actually be the case. For example, supported the loud tones based on TOS, TNG any language statement.
is still absurd that parallelism, if one considers that to have planted "the wise", according to Spock of endangered peoples everywhere in the galaxy. Evidence Indians in North America rich finally returned 'only' 14,000 years ago, and was seriously threatened its existence until the rediscovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492
In "The Chase", we learn, however, that the humanoid Urspezies " from prehistoric times", came the " seeds in great de- oceans of many worlds' exposed, because they already were aware of their own demise. That they still space police played, long after the Tkon empire that made Iconian or conspecifics Sargon this part of the galaxy is uncertain, unlikely and can be even more conclusions about the "spirits of heaven " from the Voyager episode "Tattoo " too.
The final blast, however, is the struggle of the USS Garneau against a Warbird , because with a single shot, it creates the ship of the Oberth-class to erase the huge Romulanergefährt (see p. 548). Sure, David has indeed won against Goliath , but that it somehow seems as if a centipede an elephant tramples to death.



daring battle: Chance Loser Warbird

Conclusion: One of my art teachers had me in the eleventh grade at a really great image that I had worked very long and hard, one must 'four' enter. Although they may certified me, hard work and performance, but her compassionate words I have never forgotten:
"off the subject." HOW TO READ
also this book. Without question, it is exciting, brilliantly written great and then embedded in the canon, but with the eighth feature film is the story of one thing: Never happened
.
shame really, because the quality was even bear translation and anachronisms. If I were not to my oft-expressed requirements bound to refer to the compliance of the official canon as a key evaluation criterion, I would include as this work without hesitation in the ranks of the best novels, but I can not complain when other novels about similarly serious anachronisms, can only here mercy.
Therefore I step into the footsteps of an art teacher and will begin after two years to better understand their dilemma.
