Avenger by William Shatner (1997) – BR00099 (1999) – 🐸🐸🐸🐸⚪

The PolyBlog
October 10 1999

Plot or Premise

This is the third in a Star Trek trilogy, with nanites, sentient Borg, and Vulcan terrorists.

What I Liked

The portrayal of the TNG crew is a little better in this book, perhaps reflecting the better portrayals seen in the TNG movies. It links Kirk, Spock, Picard, and the entire history of the various Enterprises together with Sarek.

What I Didn’t Like

n/a

The Bottom Line

All about renewal and cycles.

The Return by William Shatner (1997) – BR00098 (1999) – 🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪

The PolyBlog
October 10 1999

Plot or Premise

This is the second in a Star Trek trilogy, with renegade Romulans working with the Borg.

What I Liked

There are some decent scenes with Data, and some interesting interactions between old TOS crew and new TNG crew.

What I Didn’t Like

Most of the TOS crew are not really much like themselves, except Spock, so not very “believable”. Bones is almost a caricature. Kirk and Worf have a fight that is ridiculous.

The Bottom Line

Worst of the three.

The Ashes of Eden by William Shatner (1996) – BR00097 (1999) – 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸

The PolyBlog
October 10 1999

Plot or Premise

This is the first in a Star Trek trilogy, with Spock reminiscing about Kirk’s last mission, one that took place after retirement and involved an alluring woman.

What I Liked

The present time takes place just after Kirk’s death in the movie Generations, and is a great story of the old crew. One of the best I have ever read. There’s even a fight between Kirk and the Enterprise against his old crewmates.

What I Didn’t Like

n/a

The Bottom Line

Almost perfect.

  • A huge update for healthFebruary 11, 2026
    About a month ago, I posted my “H is for Health” post. I was not feeling particularly positive at the time about my overall health, but I would say I’m seeing some minor AND major improvements. Stay with me, it’s a slow climb to the end. My lower back has generally been behaving itself. My … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
  • Reading challenge checkin for 2026.01: January’s readsFebruary 9, 2026
    My reading challenge for 2026 is 63 books, which would be a little over five a month. So far, I’m on track, at least for fiction. In January, I reviewed 17 books, but only 5 of those were new reads this past month. On the other hand, my TBR pile exploded with book suggestions from … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

    I ended up tracking 40 book clubs for February, and 92 titles, although there are some repeats. As of one week into the month, Library Science, Native American, Oprah, PBS Book Readers, Richard and Judy, and Sunnie Reads (6 clubs) have not yet chosen a book. For the good news, looking at the clubs for … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
  • An accidental rabbit hole of book clubsFebruary 1, 2026
    Any regular reader could see that I have been prioritizing book reviews over the last month, having posted over 20 when I rarely do more than a few in a month.
