Luckily for me, reruns returned to the SciFi (yes, it was spelled that way back then) channel, and I began to enjoy the stories of human&#8217;s early space travel. When I saw there was a series of books I started reading them &#8211; I&#8217;m a sucker for good pulp fiction thanks to my dad who got me started with James Bond and Edgar Rice Burroughs books when I was in grade school. Amazon suggested this book to me in an email and so I bought it.<\/p>\n<p>And I liked it! This is a fast read and is consistent with the television storyline given the changes in the book series (one major character didn&#8217;t really die in the final episode &#8211; and I like that change quite a lot, that event soured me on the television finale). There&#8217;s lots of political intrigue and quite a few plot twists. As is common in this genre, the story alternatively follows up to four story lines that are occurring at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing to be cautious about is that this is obviously the first book in a series &#8211; it ends in a cliff hanger (no, I won&#8217;t give away anything).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"translate_block\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<hr class=\"translate_hr\" \/>\n<a class=\"translate_translate\" id=\"translate_button_post-4420\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\" href=\"javascript:show_translate_popup('en', 'post', 4420);\"><span>Translate<\/span><\/a><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/google-ajax-translation\/transparent.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" id=\"translate_loading_post-4420\" class=\"translate_loading colorbox-4420\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Star Trek: Enterprise: The Romulan War: Beneath the Raptor&#8217;s Wing (Star Trek : Enterprise) Author: Michael A.
