Let me be the first...

Bill, you're a horrible writer.

Please, stop it. Stick to overacting.

Please, I'm only telling you this because I love you.

Stop.

They aren't brilliant, but I like them well enough.

"Dark Victory" was the only really weak one so far, IMO.

Besides, Shatner just guides the storylines. The actual writing is done by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens.

I started reading Ashes of Eden, and I suppose it might be good, I just couldn't really get into it. but I hear The Return is good too....

I really liked Ashes of Eden. The arguments between Chekov and Sulu seemed a bit odd considering how long they've known each other - you'd have thought they have been a bit more friendly and that but...

The ending was good though - I liked that.

I usrally give up if I can't get into it by chapter 2 or 3...If it is not good then I just say forget it and move to another...I might come back to that one another time.

Has anyone read 'Spectre'...I've just read that this one includes the Voyager crew somehow. How much of the book features Voyager does anyone know? Or is it just a cameo appearance?

It was awesome. That was done for a school project, where I had to write about a foreign author. I chose Shatner, and wrote a huge paper bashing him. That was part of my 'research.' My teacher found it hilarious, and gave me extra credit!!!

I just bought a book by Shatner today. Not a Trek book----standalone. Probably ghostwritten by others, as most of his work is.

Haven't read much yet, but it looked interesting. And it was only $3 anyway.

I quoted people. Kinda stretched the truth, but oh well. This is my final paper for my college writing class.

OMG! That was too funny! I agree completely with your statement however. What is it with him and his ego anyway?

LOL, yes. Thats the point. His ego is too much. You should have seen him on the weakest link. Wow. He kissed the host, trying to be all Kirklike.

Maybe thats it! He still thinks he is Kirk! Someone needs to tell him otherwise...

Why only tell him? Couldn't we get him to come to a rocket base with a nice catwalk that's only loosely attached to the rocks over a deeeeeeeep abyss? I'm quite sure that Patrick Stewart would help us

I loved "Ashes of Eden" so I don't know what you're talking about.
