Star Trek: Romulans...

[Warped9]

So I just finished reading Star Trek - Romulans: Pawns Of War by John Byrne. This is the trade edition of the IDW comics issues.

It was a fun read I finished in two sittings--hey, I had to break for dinner. (-: A decent read. And, yes, it reads much like a Classic Trek episode in overall style. If I have a quibble it's the inclusion of more than one familiar Klingon. I think Koloth fitted in there well enough, but somehow Kor didn't fit in as well I thought. I felt this made things just a little too cute and cozy and familiar, but it's a minor criticism. I did think the characters sounded like themselves and there were even more than a hint of likenesses to the actors of familiar characters.

It was fun seeing familiar events from the Romulan perspective. Actually, fleshed out a bit more, this could also have made a decent enough novel. I also enjoyed seeing Number One from the Pike era as a Commodore in command of her own ship, the U.S.S. Yorktown.

A fine enough tale even without any of the familiar major TOS characters.

Have you read his Crew miniseries? If you like Byrne's take on classic original series-era Trek, I think Crew is even better than the Romulan stuff. Should be right up your alley.

I have the Crew miniseries on order. I'm also considering the Klingons miniseries as well.

If the Klingon series you mean is "Blood will Tell" then you should definitely get it. It's the best of the IDW trek IMHO ...so far that is .

You can't go wrong with either. I got Crew from the library but I purchased Blood Will Tell. Both were pretty good. After reading Crew, I'm really interested in checking out Byrne's Romulan stories.
