Atlantis Station
Published August 1994 by Minstrel Books
Plot: First-year Cadet Geordi LaForge is on a field trip to Atlantis Station, a research station on the sea floor in the middle of Earth’s Atlantic Ocean on the Ilse de Fuega. However an earthquake damages the station and Geordi’s class must escape before the station falls into an undersea crevice.
Review: it’s been a few years since I read this book, but I remember that, even as a kid I didn’t enjoy the book, especially coming after John Votnholt’s stellar Capture The Flag, and even now I’m finding that it’s not the best story. Really a lot of the “cliff-hangers” at the chapter ends seem forced and really seem to have been put there because it ended the chapter.
But it’s interesting how this book has an Andorian named Ven who follows one of Andor’s five major religions, especially one that has a fire festival and really wants to get close to the volcanoes on Isle de Fuega. Of course Ven is not described with the chan or thaan modifier, as the book was written years before the DS9 relaunch.
