From the Inside Flap

N'S LOG, 6454.4 Due to a series of freak ion storms, the Neutral Zone separating the Federation from the Romulan Empire will soon shift--and the planet Arachnae will fall entirely within Romulan space. Our mission: seek out intelligent life there and, if it exists, offer full Federation protection. To help us complete the necessary surveys, Dr. Katalya Tremain was assigned to the U.S.S. EnterpriseTM. She is the Federation's foremost expert on the exobiology of this region--and, as I have just discovered, has a fanatical hatred of any and all things Vulcan... including my first officer. I have logged an official protest with Starfleet Command. Her behavior towards Mr. Spock is not only a disgrace to both her uniform and the Federation but also threatens the success of our mission...a threat we cannot afford when the fate of an entire civilization may rest upon our actions in the coming hours.

Left me feeling unsatisfied and annoyed. Really found little to enjoy and the biggest plus is it's off my reading list.

Interesting Look at Bigotry In the Star Trek Universe

Reviewed in the United States on 25 July 2012

The Enterprise must race to the Arachnean Star System as ion storms shift to border of the neutral zone between Federation and Romulan space. Stuck at the border, about to fall onto the Romulan side of the border is the planet Arachne IV, a desert-like planet home to a possibly sentient race of spider-ants. The brilliant, beautiful Dr. Tremain joins the Enterprise crew as a specialist in xeno-biology and will work with Spock and Dr. McCoy to determine whether or not the Federation has an interest in protecting the life on Arachne IV from Romulan domination. Among other problems like dealing with a hostile planet, a race against the Romulans and political machinations in the Federation is the fact that Dr. Tremain hates Vulcans!

Vulcan! deals with a more cerebral topic than the handful of Original Bantam novels that camee before it. The first half of the book predominantly deals with relations aboard the Enterprise and reactions to Dr. Tremain's radical bigotry towards Vulcans. Much of the harsher criticism of the novel seems to be with the reactions of Spock (overly-emotional for a Vulcan) and Dr. McCoy (acting like a love-struck teenager towards Dr. Tremain). I understand those criticisms, especially for fans of the original show, but with that being said, I thought this novel captured the characters fairly well and think the novels give some level of creative authority to expand the characters outside the ironclad dictates of the original series. There were times that I thought McCoy was depicted more immaturely than we ever saw him act on the show, but it never reach a totally unbelievable level for me.

My real criticism for Vulcan! was pacing. It was too slow getting started for me and by the time the action gets started, we're almost out of novel, creating an ending that felt rush (although at some level, that jives with the original TV series). I really wanted to get to "see" Arachne IV, but all we get is a brief look at a very small region of the planet, an overtly hostile reaction to the presence of the away team by the native life they're there to investigate, and a few dozen pages of Dr. Tremain and Spock being forced to work together to survive (and of course, the discovery of the real reason Dr. Tremain hates Vulcans). I would have preferred a little less of Dr. McCoy flipping between psychoanalyzing Dr. Tremain and trying to get her to fall for him and a little more race-against-the-clock adventure.

So in the end, while not a bad read, and an interesting subject for the 1970s, Vulcan! is built up as fast paced, gotta beat the Romulans to the planet adventure that spent too much time on Dr. Freud's couch and not enough time being the fast paced action-adventure it's built up to be.

Stop with the stickers!

Reviewed in the United States on 5 August 2020

I was supposed to get a copy with no wear. There’s a corner without the left side. Also, don’t put stickers on the spine. It ripped a good bit of the paper off the spine and cover When gently removed. I had to use glue and a sharpie to make it look somewhat decent. Seller, don’t do stickers anymore!

A fun, exciting read

Reviewed in the United States on 7 September 2013

A good, if not great, Star Trek novel. The characterizations of the original crew are captured nicely here. The author really understands Star Trek. The story is fast moving, a bit of a mystery, and sheds more light on the Vulcan mystique. Great for fans of the original series. I enjoyed this very much.
