Following the events of "Star Trek: Destiny," Captain Riker and the crew of the Titan are sent back to the original mission--exploring strange new worlds and seeking out new life and new civilizations.
Early on in Christopher L. Bennett's "Over a Torrent Sea," the reasoning for sending Titan back out on its original mission instead of staying behind to rebuild the Federation is laid out in a fairly believable manner.

A competent if somewhat slow-in-the-beginning Star Trek novel. A bit heavy at times on the relationship stuff, but heck, it's Star Trek, so it cannot be too bad if you are a fan. Finally starts moving about halfway through to end on a satisfying note.
It was perhaps time for a novel of this bent if you have been keeping up with the Star Trek Universe. Plots cannot always be about saving the universe and defeating the Borg--sometimes you need a bit of a breather and that is what t...more

A very satisfying continuing to the "current" Star Trek universe. This book has a lot of very well researched "hard science" in it, as evidenced by reading the afterward. Bennett really did some in-depth research! I have enjoyed all of this author's ST books, but I believe this is his best one so far.
It was great book, I read this past year as a SSR book in homeroom. A very interesting twist on what other worlds could be like. It also covered how what would seem to be an innocent attempt to help a world get better, could turn out to be devastating. It also has a nice "inter-speces" twist.
I have to admit the book was a bit boring. It is a nice idea to set up the story on a waterplanet but I had to fight till the end. I put the book several times away but I want mostly to finish books. So I read it till the end. The other Titan books are much better.
Christopher L.Bennett is a superb science fiction author, I have been impressed with every one of his Star Trek books so far and I hope one day that he branches out into universes of his own in publication.
There were some really witty lines of dialogue in here. As well as some amusing situations. Both caused me to laugh out loud more than a few times despite being in public.
First book I have read, that gave me an opportunity to see Captain Riker in action.
This recent line of ST books is nothing short of fantastic. This one is great, and gets back to the purest intent of the original ST vision better than anything has in a long, long time...yet it still maintains the modern feel and brings unexpected depth to a number of characters.
