Savage Trade Star Trek The Original Series eBook Tony Daniel

Tony Daniel's "The Savage Trade" brings back a race of creature we haven't seen since an episode of the Original Series, the Excalbian (last seen in "The Savage Curtain"). The concept for the most part is simple with the Enterprise traveling to Zeta Gibraltar trying to find out why it wasn't answering messages. Okay sounds like it could be a decent mystery and hopefully something will happen, right? Yes and no.

When the Enterprise arrives they are greeted by a Vulcan named Valek, who has to the make the decision to allow the fleeing Excalbians asylum into the federation fold.

Most of the book spends time on the crew getting to know the Excalbians and figuring out why they ran away and what they are up to. I found this part of the book really interesting as the Excalbians took the shape and form of our Founding Fathers (George Washington, Ben Franklin..etc)

The writing seemed okay for all the character, except McCoy seemed a little off and most of this interacting was with a female excalbian that he was constantly having sex with and in between wondering if Captain Kirk has one of these women under his "belt". Very unlike McCoy to be honest.

I guess the author was a big Bones fan and wanted to see him "get some" for once? (shrug)

I will not ruin the rest of the book, but it was a good read up until the last few chapters when the author unveils the reasons behind everything and leaves you questioning everything.

Will I read this again? No. Will I tell a friend to read this? Sure.

Savage Trade Star Trek The Original Series eBook Tony Daniel Reviews

I chose this rating because I enjoyed this book. I would recommend this book be read by Star Trek fans , fans of the original Star Trek, and science fiction fans. There was one thing that annoyed me. There were several grammatical and/or typographical errors that the editor missed. ( I HOPE there was an editor! ) Still, in spite of the editorial lapses, I enjoyed learning about a previously encountered species that has evolved. I enjoyed the author's creativity.

This book was an interesting and well-written read, an extrapolation on the episode "The Savage Curtain". And if I absolutely, positively disbelieve the solution to a major crisis in the plot, well, just because I found it impossible to suspend disbelief doesn't mean that every reader will have that problem. In any case, that only dropped it from a five-star rating to a four-star one; the book was good enough in general to survive the flaw.
Major spoiler, if buying dont read! I couldn't decide or two stars are three stars. So, I would've given 4-5 up till the last few chapters, and then just on those, I would've given a 1 (cause you can't give a zero).
I really enjoyed the book until they brought in a third antagonist. The first, the pirates, never resolved, the second and third , the rock creatures and the other entity, didn't add any value to the book. I saw this going so many places, and instead, it went nowhere. What an opportunity for the Pirates to be using space and time travel. It's like it starts great, the story was interesting, you were thinking all these different plots, then they totally drop the Pirates, bring in a second and third antagonist, never finish anything about the Pirates or give explanations, and then get all cryptic with the two other antagonists.
the last couple of chapters I couldn't wait to finish just so I could finish it. I know sometimes Star Trek storyline can get a little weird. But this just went nowhere. And the description of the battle was just creepy.
This book is sequel to an original series episode called The Savage Curtain and when I purchased it I hoped for another great read. I was sadly mistaken. The book was painful to read and the use of such historical figures like George Washington and Ben Franklin sadly fell short. I don't recommend this book to anyone.

The characters are cardboard cutouts of the real characters that you usually see in the Star Trek novels. Kirk is the worst of them all and the author fails to create both actions and dialogue that make Kirk such a great character.
The story was taken for an Original Series story line and then moved out a few years. The read was easy but I did have 3 real problems with the story line. The first being, without giving away anything, the way they took care of the aggressor alien in the end. The story didn't really explain very well how that was done. I could have missed it but still if it didn’t set in my mind was it really explained. The second was the Vulcan ambassador. She seemed too un-Vulcan like. There seemed to be a duality in her that was almost human. I think they tried to give the impression that being around Spock’s family may have had something to do with it. Lastly, they had a mash up of different story lines to being everyone together. Truthfully I’m not sure if it was 4 or 5 topics. I think I would have liked it better if they had concentrated more on one main topic with only a sub topic to fill in. They might have made a sequel or a trilogy out of it if they’d developed the story line a little more.

As with most of the new writers today, writing about the old characters of the OS, I don’t get the impression that they even understand what made the team click. As you read the stories you don’t hear the voices of the characters. If they want to change a few things up even going with the revamped versions would still limit them on the changes to the characters. Some authors who wanted to expand have had new/other characters in the Trek universe with the main characters in the background. I think, maybe that it’s a confusing time for writers in the Trek world. They may not think so but someone watching the old shows and reading the original stories has a feel for the flow that someone just coming into the franchise does not get.
