The Children of Kings
 

Children of the Kings by Dave Stern is now out and about waiting for you to pick it up and enjoy all it has to offer. Aside from that, it's the last original novel for the next few months.

I see you're in Brooklyn - where did you find the book? I work in Manhattan...

amazon hasn't shipped yet, but is getting it ready, it says...no rush, I have about ten books ahead of it...

Barnes and Noble.

I've got it, but unfortunately along with "Unspoken Truth" and "Seven Deadly Sins" it has to wait until exam revision period is over. :(

Re: The Children of the Kings
 

I didn't like Unspoken Truth to much.

Re: The Children of the Kings
 

I picked up a copy of the book at a supermarket today. Just started it.

I'm a Pike fan so this looks interesting. I always like to get more books that take place in the various "lost era's" in between the shows. Hopefully it's better than Inception...

Paris,

Your siggy is hilarious. Who said it?

It's been a few months, so I don't remeber for sure, but I want to say Bill Maher...

Re: The Children of the Kings
 

Can't wait to read this. Have to try it with the Bruce Greenwood Pike in my mind as he was FABULOUS as Pike.

Re: The Children of the Kings
 

Cool, thanks. I just found a copy in the Penn Station Borders this morning!

Re: The Children of the Kings
 

I got mine this morning! I'm really looking forward to completely devouring it.

ETA: looks like the ref to NCO Colt as an Ensign was a one-off, tho the spelling of Ilyria as "Illyria" and as a colony I suspect was due to an old error at Memory Beta.

LOVING what I've read thus far, especially Spock and Number One.

I think you will enjoy the book and the portrayal of Pike. I feel he was more in sync with Greenwood/Pike.

If you liked DR. Boyce from the pilot episode, you will really like this book. He plays a major part and is every bit the emotional DR we all loved in Leonard McCoy.

The Orions are very much like their appearance in Borderland and Bound episodes from Enterprise. The Males are portrayed as huge hulking brutes and powerful warlords and the females as intelligent and desirous of leadership. It also touches on the history of the Orions and once having a powerful empire.

Overall I would give it 4/5.
