THAT SLEEP OF DEATH

In the wake of increased concern over the Dominion threat, Dr. Beverly Crusher has attempted to improve morale on the Enterprise by starting up her theater company -- beginning with a production of A Christmas Carol. But before opening night, a devastating malady starts striking down the crew.

Forced to rely on a piece of technology she despises -- the Emergency Medical Hologram -- Dr. Crusher must find a cure before it's too late!

Short but sweet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 September 2012

The story was well written and captured the characters perfectly. The EMH was wonderfully annoying, and the medical jargon believable. The story was interesting and my only complaint was that it was too short! A very good story.

Der kürzeste und unspektakulärste Teil der "slings and arrows" Reihe

Reviewed in Germany on 31 March 2012

Verified Purchase

Jetzt ist doch noch Teil 4 der kürzeste und unspektakulärste Teil der sechsteiligen Slings and Arrows Saga geworden. Die Synopsis oben verrät quasi schon alles. Es geht um eine Mission, zu der ein Botschafter einer (bisher nur sehr wenig erforschten) Spezies an Bord der Entrprise gebeamt wird ... und alles weitere nimmt seinen Lauf. Diesmal steht Beverly Crusher im Vordergrund.... ach, alles recht nett, auch das mit dem Theater spielen. Einerseits Star Trek TNG, wie es eben ist, andererseits der schwächste Roman. Da ich die Serie nun fertig gelesen habe, bin ich der Meinung, dass dies wirklich alles in einem Band hätte veröffentlicht werden sollen. Aber dann bitte nicht für 6 x 3,83 Euro... anyhow, Enjoy!

Decent Story Marred by Short Length for the Price

Reviewed in the United States on 13 June 2011

Verified Purchase

The fourth Slings and Arrows novella brings us the shortest installment (~600 kindle locations or 1/8 the length of a normal Trek novel). Overall, That Sleep of Death, isn't a bad read, but the mystery is tepid, leading to essentially a character piece. Normally this would be great, but with such little time and the plot dominating it, I wasn't quite sure what the point of the character study was. We have Crusher who's putting on a version of the Christmas Carol, which could have used some more time, and her reactions to the EMH (Minor Continuity slip: Crusher implies she'd never used one before in First Contact) which seem rather overdone for minor quibbles. This is now the third Slings and Arrows novella to be based around a concept from DS9 and the fourth of four to mention the station or events from the 4th season in general. It seems like it is less and less a celebration of TNG and a backdoor DS9 novel. I was happy with Barclay's depiction in this story and wish we could have gotten more time with that. Lt. Daniels is named dropped in this book but doesn't appear and Lt. Hawk remains heard of but not seen for the 3 novella in a row.

The book is drastically short for the price Simon and Schuster are charging, and it's shameful. I dropped the star rating a whole point because of it. As well, there are no chapter markers in this book. Granted its so short it doesn't matter, but it's quite annoying to not have any idea when a chapter might end.

Way, way too short for the price paid.

Reviewed in the United States on 16 April 2010

Verified Purchase

The story line for this book is fine, the writing quality, etc. is also good. My beef is that Amazon is charging 5.99 for this ebook and it is very short - a short story at best. Kindle users will relate - this book is only slightly over 600 placemarkers (no "pages" on a Kindle book). Most books I've purchased for $6.00 are 4 or 5 times as long. Bottom line - I paid $6.00 for the book and finished reading it in about 45 minutes - not a good value. Other books in this series are short but this one is just a rip-off for the price.

This series was a little light reading - a little too short for the price - would have preferred this all in one novel
