Star Trek: Enterprise Logs

In the annals of adventure and exploration, few names shine as brightly as those of the various vessels bearing the noble appellation of Enterprise. Equally distinguished are the many brave captains who have led their respective ships into battle, danger, and glory. STAR TREK : ENTERPRISE LOGS celebrates the proud history of those ships and their captains with an outstanding collection of new stories starring each of the men and women who have held command upon the bridge of one Enterprise or another.

The basic conceit here is that there’s been many ships named “Enterprise” and all their captains have stories to tell. This is much like the “Captains’ Table” series, but instead of multiple books, it’s just one book, and the stories are short. I’m finding that I’m enjoying these compendiums of short stories more than I previously did, likely because I don’t have the time to just lay about reading and am only able to get 20-30 minutes of leisure reading in every night before bed. I knew going in that some of these stories weren’t going to be Star Trek proper, but I’ll admit to being disappointed that they weren’t connected to Trek at all.

Captain Israel Daniel Dickenson / “The Veil at Valcour” by Diane Carey
Bloody warfare unrelated to Trek. It’s a fine story but I didn’t buy this book in the hopes to hear about pre-USA boat battles.

Captain Osborne B. Hardison / “World of Strangers” by Diane Carey
WW2 stories are slightly more in my wheelhouse, but this one wasn’t for me. No Trek connections that I can tell.

Captain Robert April / “Though Hell Should Bar the Way” by Greg Cox
A fun story of those damned Klingons getting in the way of saving an entire planet of colonists. Well done story that I liked, but that’s no surprise considering how much I adore Greg Cox’s other works.

Captain Christopher Pike / “Conflicting Natures” by Jerry Oltion
A very well done story with a unique alien species that I’d love to read a follow up with, especially if that followup could be scene through the lens of the Lower Decks franchise.

Captain James T. Kirk / “The Avenger” by Michael Jan Friedman
I’ve never seen Kirk as the diplomatic type, but if anyone were to figure out how to take the guy we’re all familiar with and pour him into the role of diplomatic criminal investigator, Michael Jan Friendman is that guy!

Captain Will Decker / “Night Whispers” by Diane Duane
I think this is my favorite story of the bunch, maybe as a tie with the Spock story. I’ve not learned very much about Decker or the time period from the end of the Enterprise’s 5 year missions and her refit that appears in The Motion Picture. We don’t get a ton of time due to the paucity of pages, but I love the idea of the ship being in dry dock and everyone running around fixing and adding things while bad guys are being nefarious in the background.

Captain Spock / “Just Another Little Training Cruise” by A. C. Crispin
Should you ever go on a long trip to a new place with untested but mission critical technology installed? The short answer is no, use the time tested stuff, but also, IDIC saved the day in this story, something that I feel is the foundation of what I believe Trek is and should be.

Captain John Harriman / “Shakedown” by Peter David
Not everything is as it seems in this short story by one of the greatest Trek authors to ever put pen to paper. It’s Romulan story, so even the lies are lies.

Captain Rachel Garrett / “Hour of Fire” by Robert Greenberger
This is another captain that I’d love to read more about, and while I love that she was included in the Section31 movie, I’m not really counting that as character building, because “chaos goblin” isn’t something I want to associated with noble leaders in Trek. This is a fun story with some of the best spaceship content in the book.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard / “The Captain and the King” by John Vornholt
The weakest of the stories in the book, even including the non-trek stories that we opened with. There’s a mix of editing weirdness to some really silly “and I do Declare!” situations that I find troublesome.
