a beautiful beginning to a beautiful series. there were a few minor continuity errors (official first contact with the Ferengi wasn't until "The Last Outpost", e.g.; they were not known to be Ferengi during previous encounters with them), but nothing too big. I love them all, but Mark McHenry especially has always been a favorite of mine.

Introduced me to the thrilling world of science fiction. Probably changed my life? I LOVED IT. I haven't seen a copy in a decade and a half and I can vividly picture the illustrations and my relief/anger that the attack was just a trap. Spoilers?

This bite sized look into Worf's entrance to Starfleet Academy was highly enjoyable. It could easily have been fleshed out into a longer story but was nonetheless a very good read.
The artwork is fantastic!

I'm bingeing my way through this series on holiday. I had an appetite for quick, easy fun and each book so far has hit the mark. I won't review them individually, just rate.

Three almost four fights in 118 pages? What is not to like? This is a great little book by I would say the best Star Trek author.
The characterization was spot on and I couldn't help but yell at the book at the very end!

Mildly enjoyable but pretty basic, with a paper thin plot you can see a mile off and the barest of character sketches. I'm not entirely sure if it's a YA or a children's book, either. I'm plumping for the former, as the characters, a group of cadets starting at Starfleet Academy, are presumably all 18-ish, but it reads more like a book for much younger kids. I went into it expecting something a little more sophisticated - it's superficial even for the age group - but that being said, I do like Worf and the Academy teachers. The strongest point here though is the pacing: it's a quick zippy read and I tend to appreciate those.

A look at how Worf began his Starfleet career. A quick read, humorous & engaging. I enjoyed the “cameo” appearance of Geordi LaForge!

Crossing YA with Star Trek we actually got this book as a practical joke for one of our friends, but the Big D and I decided to read it first. It's the story of Worf and his human "brother" arriving at Star Fleet academy. You wouldn't read it for the plot, in fact the only reason you'd really read it was that you were a Trekkie and/or just plain curious.

Yes, this book is meant for younger readers so it is a very quick read. However, I am a young adult and I loved this book. I don't usually laugh out loud while I am reading, but I did a lot while reading this book.
