Crucible: Spock

This is the Spock book of the new trilogy by David George.

Overall, the book is OK, I guess, but far from great. The dialogue is pretty stiff in many places. The characters, though familiar to all Trek fans, seem distant and not quite themselves. Spock is not very likeable in much of the book. It was a little strange to see some typos also.

The story itself is interesting for the most part. Lots of information on Vulcan and Spock's life that I have not come across before this. Spock "redeems" himself rather unexpectedly at the end.

I'd say to read it if you like Trek and Spock, but it isn't one of the best in the series.
