Star Trek The Original Series: The Face Of The Unknown by Christopher L. Bennett
This inept novel is a sequel to the inept ep ‘The Corbomite Maneuver’. It is potentially irritating from the start as the author makes it clear he cordially detests McCoy and has great belief in his own unique wonderfulness. This is not a suspenseful portrait of the First Federation and you don’t care how the villain gets snared. This is not highly dramatic or continually interesting. In fact, it just bored.
Best Lines:
“This world was murdered.”
“There are no habitable worlds here. There haven’t been for a very long time.”
“A territory full of dead worlds.”
