Too short
This was a good book that did good job in the field of characterization and decent one at the field of plotting. Janeway's Cadet Years at Acadey
This book was about Janeway's first away Mission.She got stuck in quarintine at a planet and has to get out.But this is a problem for her and her fellow Cadet's.How will they get out?This book is very interesting, expecialy if you like Star Trek.I thought that the bookshould get five stars because of the discripsion.I like how in the bookJaneway is Friends with Gordie, a character on the Next Generation show.Ihope that you will read this book. ...

Peter David's books can't be bad!
Even if meant for kids, this is a very nice books.And if you're planning to read Peter David's "New Frontier" books (or if you alread read them!), make sure to read these 3 books (this is only the first part) and re-discover some of the characters Worf's First Adventure
This is a great book. I think everyone should read this book. Marvelous
Peter David's writing is fantastic and James Fry's artwork is beautiful.Read more

Another great read for young Trekkies
This book is another really good book. For people who don't know, this is a book about Geordi (from TNG) as a cadet in Starfleet Acadamy. Overall, this is a very good read, although I believe Capture The Flag (#4) is slightly better.

Excelent read for a children's book
I picked the book for my nephew and ended up reading it myself.I thought it was an excelent book that lendsa bit of insight and history into the crews of the "Enterprise" and Calhoun's "Excelsior".I've been reading all of the Star Trek Starfleet Academy TNG Series. ... Read more

An awesome book!
This story about Deanna Troi is the one of the best in the series! This story tells about Deanna's troubles with being empathic. She decides to take the Borrocco-Kai or the big washout and she succedes. Her mother (who is a full telapath) finally figures out that her daughter is old enough to handle the stress. Tis story also tells of Troi's decision to be a counseler on one of those new galaxy-class starships.

Breakaway
I enjoyed this book because it was fun to understand a little about what the people I know from the seris went through as a person my age.

It was great!
I believe that this was a very good book because I like to learn about my favorite charater, Deanna Troi.She learned a very important lesson about aliens.I am only 12, but I know a good book whenI see one. -Elizabeth Keeler ... Read more

A dissapointing book full of stereotypical characters
All in all I enjoy reading these novellas set in the characters' past. the haunted spaceship
I thought is was a little bit dissapointing considering what the plot was in general but for the most part it was good and I really enjoyed thetwists that it took in a few places.

oh, ICK!
Maybe I'm just too old for this series, but this one seemed worse than normal.The whole ghost idea was pretty dumb in the first place.Don't buy unless you're trying to get all the books like I am. ... Read more

Interesting look at the pressures Jean-Luc faced...
Vivid illustration of the typical father-son struggle.People tend to stereotype mothers & daughters being in conflict, so it's high time someone recognized father-son conflict as well.Jean-Luc was right tofollow his own instincts and not let his father cow him into a life hedidn't want.Also good was the portrayal of the jealousy of his brotherRobert and how that made being close brothers difficult.One thing I wouldchange that seemed a bit unrealistic:Why in the twenty-third century doesYvette Picard seem to be stuck doing most of the housework just to pleaseMaurice?Other than that, I liked how Yvette stood by her son when hedecided to apply at the academy again. ...

Perfect characterization, but no plot to be seen
It was short, it contained good character building, it had an uninteresting plot. A great glimpse into a favorite personality.

Shows some promise, but...
"Lifeline" is the first starfleet academy novel about Janeway. Not what I expected
I am a huge Voyager fan and have read every book religiously.Needless to say, I was thrilled when I found this series.However, I was not prepared for this book to be written for teenagers.In fact, in the back of thebook, there is an advertisement for "The Mystery Files of ShelbyWoo", a Nickelodian sitcom.The book was good, just be prepared forthis to be geared towards teenagers.If you are a Star Trek fan and youhave teenage or pre-teen children, this is for you.Or, if you are aVoyager fan, its worth the read for the story.

sucks
this book sucked although it was hard to put down. not enough action ... Read more

A swell portrait of a wonderful character!
Beverly Crusher is my absolute favorite sci-fi character of all time and this book doesn't let me down!I loved getting a glimpse into Beverly's heart and mind, especially when she was young.She is one of the mostcourageous women I know and I love how she helps Claire out.Claire islucky to have a friend like her.Also touching is Beverly's feelings ofbeing homesick and missing her dear grandmother.Beverly reminds me ofMary Anne Spier from the Baby-Sitters' Club series.Both are shy,sensitive, intellectually gifted, and tough. ...

cliche
This book is well written but it has one problem. The action in the book takes place in a simulator. I had already had enough of this when Peter David wrote Worf's First Adventure.Somehow it isn't as fun or exciting ifyou know the battle isn't real. ... Read more

A dull story
I didn't like this story because it was kind of misleading.And it's not because Data's a cadet. The story didn't have data's personality that much. . The story was just a bit boring but it did have the planet where data was discovered. Over all it was an okay book.

Exciting, BUT...
Why do all of these Star Trek author keep coming up with new races of the Federation.In this book they just look like Deltans with lines on their heads.How cheesy!

ST: TNG:STARFLEET ACADEMY #6 MYSTERY OF THE MISSING CREW
I LIKED THIS BOOK VERY MUCH, IT SHOWS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT WHATTHEY SEEM TO BE, AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEINGAFRAID. POSSITIVE THINKING, AND GOOD DETECTIVE WORK LEADS THIS STORY TO MAKING NEW FRIENDS, AND DISCOVERING A DANGEROUS AREA OF SPACE, AND PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT TO BE ALONE. DATA DOES A GREAT JOB OF FIGUIRING OUT EVERYTHING, AND TAKES ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS HUMANITY. ... Read more

Excellent book, I still read it
I am now 13 years old, and I still read this book (even though most of the time I read novels). It is an excellent book that any young Trekkie should have in his/her collection. Read it. You'll like it. :-)

An exciting story for any Star Trek fan.
It was very exciting.Once I got started I couldn't put it down.I have started reading all of the Star Fleet Academy Star Trek The Next Generation books.This is a must for any Star Trek fan.

Great Book!
This book is very appropriate for the stated reading level. It is very beautifully written and is most probably the best of the series. I enjoyed the intricate use of various phrases and how the plot slowly developed toallow the protagonists to overcome any difficulties that they faced. If youread this book, I would suggest other books by the same author. The stylepersists. ... Read more
