Commentary As Books Once Burned (Star Trek: The Captain's Table #5)

There's a bar called "The Captain's Table," where those who have commanded mighty vessels of every shape and era can meet, relax, and share a friendly drink or two with others of their calling. Sometimes a brawl may break out but it's all in the family, more or less. Just remember, the first round of drinks is always paid for with a story...even in Thallonian space. Six years ago, long before he took command of the Starship Excalibur, a young Starfleet officer named Mackenzie Calhoun served as first officer aboard the U.S.S. Grissom. Then disaster struck, and Calhoun took the blame. A court-martial led to his own angry resignation from Starfleet...or so it appeared. At long last Captain Calhoun reveals the true story behind the greatest tragedy of his life.

Commentary Epithetical Books Once Burned (Star Trek: The Captain's Table #5)

This is one of the best Star Trek novels that I ever read! GREAT STORIES NOT ALWAYS HAVE A NICE ENDING This book is positioned in a solid 5th place, in my very personal top list of Star Trek novels that I have read, and I still can't imagine something able to make it to lose its high position. Sadly, it's very likely that a lot of Trekkers and sci-fi fans haven't read it.Since it's part of the event The Captain's Table (a book event where Star Trek Captains go to a certain kinda-mystical bar

Think this is my favorite, so far, of Peter David's New Frontier series. This one features MacKenzie Calhoune's Starfleet career before the USS Excalibur. It's quite a bit different than the regular New Frontier series and it's written as a very page-turning thriller. Don't be put off that it's a part of The Captain's Table series. It is indeed a stand-alone. The Captain's Table series of books are linked only thematically.

I'm not familiar with McKenzie Calhoun but I enjoyed his story. Kind of brutal in places (that's not the reason I liked it:-). I've been sucked in to all the Star Trek penned by Peter David, so far.Calhoun quoted Kirk a lot and seemed to try to emulate him but in a no conscience sort of way. He was a rogue, but not a likeable one, in my humble opinion. I'll have to read more about him. Maybe I'll change my opinion of him.

Oh, yes. This was super. Peter Davids always treated the Trek universe with his trademark irreverence, and Calhoun positively blazed here. The voice is naturally as authentic as it comes, and the whole story just works so well, its hard to stop for breath. Without doubt, the best entry of this saga.

Excellent Trek book by Peter David.

I really enjoyed this book. I usually enjoy Peter David's books. Anyone who is a fan of New Frontier (and why wouldn't you be?) would like this book. After 6 books of hints and broad statements, we finally learn about Calhoun's past, and the tragedy that happened on the Grissom. I think the best part of this book is how Peter David handles that tragedy. It's very subtle, and he really builds up the suspense. You know something is going to happen, you just don't know when. It's made even more
