Synopsis

The first novel written in a series, this is a fast paced novel, and is what many think Star Trek should have become. A true space opera adventure novel. An unjustly disgraced ship with only a number must prove itself and her crew worthy of a name, and do so in battle. Any Star Trek fan will enjoy this rather hard nosed, blunt instrument treatment of the concept, easily visualizing the environment and characters, and seeing hints of well known personalities within new persona.

Is The Voyage of the Star Wolf appropriate for my child?

Suitable for most readers 13 and up.

Military space opera with battle sequences and hard-edged treatment of combat. Violence is present but not gratuitously graphic, focusing on strategic military engagement rather than gore.
