Duane, Diane -- The Empty Chair (Star Trek)
Wrap-up of the highly-spread-out Rihannsu ("Romulan") series -- Duane
started it in the first era of Trek novelizing. The characters are all
smart, smart renditions of the classic Trek cast -- which is
tremendously satisfying to read. Unfortunately, they don't talk like
the classic cast, which is somewhat disappointing. I mean, Duane's
Kirk is a great captain and her McCoy is a great doctor and so on; I
just can't imagine Shatner or Kelley saying these lines. Nonethless,
we get a big windup for the Rihannsu, with some great moments, and a
bit of clever chamfering to fit this continuity in with the canonical
TNG view of the Romulans.
