There are also a plethora of minor nitpicks of assorted severity.  It's a bit short, and possibly could have stood to be even shorter?

    <body><![CDATA[This is a prequel to the very fun <em>Star Trek</em> relaunch, and it’s, like, supposed to make the movie’s plot make more sense or something. (Dude. Like anybody watched that movie for the <em>plot</em>.) Instead, it just gives the film’s villain, Nero, the world’s most boring and cliché villain backstory e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51529666">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was nice to see the old characters reunited, and it does give a bit more back story for the movie, but it still doesn't explain what Red Matter is in a satisfactory way, and that, I think, is the biggest hole in the movie as well as this book.  But I still enjoyed it quite a bit.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A prequel to the new &quot;Star Trek&quot; film. The story takes place in the Next Generation era (post-&quot;Nemesis&quot;) and focuses mainly on Nero and Old Spock. It's a cool read that basically serves as the origin of Nero.]]></body>
