I have to admit it... I liked Enterprise. The premise had promise, and the characters, when well-written, were engaging and enjoyable. Whole volumes could be written about just how much, and why, the show sucked so bad, and exactly who was responsible (Berman, Braga, I'm lookin' at you). When in the fourth season they brought on a new Exec and head writer, it really started to fulfill its potential. Then, of course, it was canceled and they ended with one of the single worst, most offensive and

I'd never read a Star Trek novel before this (that is, if you don't count the Star Trek Online book) and I'm glad I chose this one for my first taste. I quite liked Enterprise, even though by the time I actually got to watching the series it had already been canceled for several years. That might have affected the way I viewed the events in the series finale, in the cool manner with which one accepts anything that happens on a doomed show.

I liked this book a lot more than I have liked previous Star Trek: Enterprise books, in part because it is a CANON fix to the god-awful wreck that was "These Are the Voyages..." I'm one of those Enterprise fans who considers "Terra Prime" to be the series finale, because the actual one was such a complete waste of space, waste of characters, and a poorly done attempt to tie ST:E together with ST:TNG, which it had spent too many episodes already doing in the final season.

I guess you can't get something that isn't there. I read much better Star Trek book, but I guess, I did not read worse. Yet. If it would not be about my favorite character (and only partially), I would not be able to finish it. 2 stars for actually reviving the character, minus a bunch of stars for not making it believable and following the logic of the story.

I've never read a Star Trek book before, and I was pleasantly surprised. The authors kept up the same character profiles as introduced in the television show, and the undercover spy-plot, while not thrilling, kept my attention. Although it was set in the Star Trek universe, the plot didn't focus on future science or technology so much as interplanetary politics and intrigue. A good beach or lazy Sunday read for Star Trek fans.

In the last episode of "Enterprise" Trip died a meaningless death. This novel quite successfully sets it right: he staged his death, telling only the captain, Reed and Pholx so he could join Section 31 to fight the unseen, at this point, Romulans. In this book Section 31 comes off much better than in other books.

I like the spin that the authors of this book put on it...have what happened in the series be a cover-up for what really happened, and have that discovered by Nogg and Jake Sisco in the 25th century. This was a good thing to do, kept me riveted to the book:)

This is basically a retailing of the final episode of Enterprise with more Romulans and Trip becoming a spy instead of dying.
Not to be confused with a direct book version of the script. This has a lot more info and is an alternative story that has recently been declassified and read by Nog and Jake from DS9.
A good read. I half expected Riker and Troi to appear in the book, like the show, but was glad when they did not.

A retcon of the finale of the series, which in that way makes it a must read. The rest of the story wasn't great, but still good.

The book version of the final Star Trek Enterprise. It was ok. Made me want to watch the last episode because I couldnt remember it at all.

Does a good job of reworking (while mocking) the abominable Berman/Braga finale to Enterprise. But as with many Star Trek books, the story itself isn't really compelling, with the typical lack of tension (gee, I wonder if the away team couldn't transport out because the Enterprise had been destroyed) and one gets the sense that the 'Star Trek' on the cover is the only reason it was published.
That said, pick this up if your eyes bled during the series finale, as it'll make you feel a More...

I enjoyed Enterprise and was really happy with the way the show was going in the fourth season. I was disappointed when the show was cancelled, and especially disappointed in the pointlessness of how Trip was handled. I've just recently started reading Star Trek novels and especially enjoyed this one. The dialog and characters were very consistent with the show, and it was really nice to get a better sense of closure than I did from the final episode.

I have to admit that although I am a big Star Trek fan I've never felt drawn to reading one of the books. That was until the disappointing ending of Enterprise. Without *spoilers* the ending leaves a lot to be desired. This book takes a few steps towards repairing dryer damage and explaining some of the discrepancies of the series. An entertaining mix of space opera and galactic espionage. Well worth a read if that is your thing.

It took me forever to get through the first two chapters of this thing. They draaaaag. But once I did, the rest of the story did pick up.
For a Star Trek book, it's really not bad so far (again, other than those first couple chapters.) But then again, I've read some god-awful ST books.
Recommended for ST: Enterprise fans.
A couple of very interesting developments re: Trip, though. Worth reading if only for that!

Great book for Star Trek: Enterprise fans. Like others have said, it is set during the last episode of the series, but goes much deeper into what happened. I really appreciated how they went even deeper into Trip and T'Pol's personalities and relationship, elaborating on the complexities of a human/Vulcan relationship. It explained a lot to me about the mystery of Vulcans, which has always intrigued me.

Trip didn't die in the finale of "Star Trek: Enterprise"! This story tells what really happened, and sets the stage for the Earth-Romulan War as Section 31 recruits trip to investigate mysterious attacks on the Coalition of Planets. Important info on Captain Archer and the Trip-T'Pol relationship. I enjoyed the book, and it made me ready to read the upcoming "Kobyashi Maru" novel.

About half way in, lost my copy for several months, reacquired it. It kind of grasps at straws, but it's endearing to see Jake and Nog as elderly and trying to sort through Section 31 files. Also, it's sad to see Trip go to his 'death' and the thing with him and Romulans actually works.

Trip lives! It's not the best written book in the world, but it's entertaining, and for anyone who was unhappy with Trip's death in the finale of Enterprise, you should definitely read this book.

Way better way of explaining of what happened to Trip than what the show Enterprise did. As always well written by Mangles and Martin who seemed to grasp the best loved characters from the series well.
