Additional The Good That Men Do (Star Trek: Enterprise) Information

In this golden age, two old friends are drawn together. They seek to understand, and wonder how what they have long believed, what they have been taught, was never so.

Over two hundred years ago, the life of one of Starfleet's earliest pioneers came to a tragic end, and Captain Jonathan Archer, the legendary commander of Earth's first warp-five starship, lost a close friend. Or so it seemed for many years. But with the passage of time, and the declassification of certain crucial files, the truth about that fateful day -- the day that Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker III didn't die -- could finally be revealed.

Why did Starfleet feel it was necessary to rewrite history? And why only now can the truth be told?

What Customers Say About The Good That Men Do (Star Trek: Enterprise):

Finally a quality story that brings together some of the hanging points from the TV series yet stays with the story as originally told. This was missing when the TV series was cancelled and now answers a lot of questions. It would be great is someone continued with this theme in future books to open a new direction for the Enterprise series.

This was great. Very good. Now I don't feel so bad about how the series ended. Not only that, because of this book, and the Romulan War series that follows, a lot of ST: TOS begins to make a heck of a lot more sense. Read it, you'll like it. ")

The plot is creative but the storytelling could be improved. At times there were sections of the book full of paragraphs and paragraphs of details regarding ships, characters' feelings, and historical background.

This is no Shatnerverse novel where James T. This is a very creative story that explains the "truth" behind the events of Star Trek: Enterprise's series finale "These Are The Voyages." The authors did a good job explaining their riveting and realistic plot to bring Trip back to life.

My main issues with The Good That Men Do is the overdone descriptions. Kirk pops out of his grave--this tale tells the story of Trips true fate in a very believable and unforced way.

I also appreciate that the writers spliced memorable scenes from "These Are The Voyages." into their book. I think if the writers just cut to the chase, reduced some of the fluff, and improved some of the dialogue--which was sometimes bland and out of character--then the book would have run a lot smoother and been a lot more exciting.Overall, this is a mediocre read.

It's definitely worth picking up if you're an Enterprise or Trip fan, or if you want to know more about the beginnings of the Earth-Romulan War.

Could not put it down. Author really captured the series and did justice to the people that played the charcters.

I can't really speak for the story itself, which was really good up until around page 328, when I ran into 20 (give or take) blank pages. I couldn't finish reading the story. This is the third book, from the Pocket Books publisher, I have purchased which was missing ink on the pages.
