Rites by John Jackson Miller

These are the events leading up to the attack on Luke Skywalker by the Tusken Raiders.

Who’s were those raiders?  What was their story? What led them to that same canyon?

I wasn’t captivated by this story as I have been by the others. I think it’s because, as characters, I was never very interested by the Tuskens.  In all of these stories we know how the scene will end but, instead of adding something to the drama, the story behind the Raiders was pretty much what we had gleaned from the movie.

There was no real surprise here.  Perhaps that’s what was lacking for me; I didn't learn anything new about the Raiders.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Takedown by John Jackson Miller - Book Report #130

Oh my god - what fun.

It's Riker vs. Picard in a battle to save the Federation.  Yup William T. Riker is in a battle against our beloved captain.

What's going on?  Why did Riker sneak off to a super secret meeting and why is he and others from that meeting now attacking key infrastructures?

It's a mystery and a race against time to figure it all out and stop the attacks.

The novel was pure, thumping good fun.  I found the voices of the main characters were well captured and the plot felt like it could have come from a two-part episode of the TV series.

This is John Jackson Miller's first Star Trek novel and I believe we will be hearing more from him in the future.

Never a dull moment here.

Recommended.
