Over A Torrent Sea is without question the worst Star Trek novel I've read since returning to the books after David Mack's Destiny trilogy. Set after the Borg Invasion of the Alpha Quadrant, the U.S.S. Titan led by Captain Riker resumes its deep space exploration and discovers an aquatic world (kind of like the one Voyager visited in the season 5 episode Thirty Days). Except this oceanic world is filled with truely bizarre but intelligent alien creatures. The crew sets out to try and communicate ...more

I am a great fan of Christopher L. Bennett's work. He's one of those rare authors who attempts to take Trek technobabble seriously, which seems a bit like trying to roll Sisyphus' boulder, yet somehow manages to make things make semi-coherent sense. His Department of Temporal Investigations books incorporate a lot of RL physics to make Star Trek's "time travel runs on the power of plot" almost plausible.

Over A Torrent Sea is the first Star Trek Titan book to take place after the events of Star I am a great fan of Christopher L. Bennett's work. He's one of those rare authors who attempts to take Trek technobabble seriously, which seems a bit like trying to roll Sisyphus' boulder, yet somehow manages to make things make semi-coherent sense. His Department of Temporal Investigations books incorporate a lot of RL physics to make Star Trek's "time travel runs on the power of plot" almost plausible.

Over A Torrent Sea is the first Star Trek Titan book to take place after the events of Star Trek: Destiny. Despite this, the events of the Destiny series are almost incidental to the book. They're not ignored, Captain Riker wonders why they're not rebuilding the myriad devastated worlds left behind, but the book gives an understandable reason for our heroes returning to their mission of exploration.

Actually, let me take that back, the events of Destiny are very important to the plot but reflects on the more personal losses of the crew as opposed to the widespread destruction the Borg inflicted. Members of the crew aren't thinking about the annihilation of Risa but people they knew who were killed, such as Tuvok's son or a family pet.

This is an interesting way of handling things and perhaps more realistic than leaving the entire crew with a case of PTSD. Star Trek: Titan is about exploration and having only one or two crew members broken up by events seems like a superior way of handling things than changing what the books are about.

My favorite reaction from the crew is the aforementioned trouble Tuvok has with his son's death. His son chose to sacrifice his life to save others, which Tuvok is angry about. No matter how logical the needs of the many are over the needs of the few, a father knows his son chose to die. It's a powerful personal story and one which is handled with both dignity and respect. I also liked Christopher Bennett's handling of Tuvok's wife and would have enjoyed hearing more of her opinions on the subject.

There's also fallout from Troi's pregnancy, which was my least favorite plot from Destiny. I felt her behavior during the trilogy was irrational and unprofessional. Unfortunately, this behavior becomes an actual threat to the crew's stability in this book. For a book series which is more 'realistic' than standard Trek, well semi-more realistic, the fact Troi wasn't packed up and sent home for her effect (however unintentional) on the crew stretched credibility. Still, the adventure which resulted was hilarious.

The main part of the book is another first contact situation where Riker and the crew of the U.S.S Titan encounter a race of Pre-Warp but extremely advanced in biological sciences aliens. This nicely deconstructs one of the elements of the Prime Directive which has never made much sense to me. Why is Warp-Travel the definitive "be end all" of civilization? The Ferengi were sold warp travel when they were primitives while another Pre-Warp civilization might be enlightened pacifists. It's an interesting question that relates directly to Riker's decision to pretty much throw the Prime Directive to the wind this book.

Over A Torrent Sea has a definite "old time" science fiction feel to it. Part of what has made Star Trek: Titan so interesting is the series has focused on developing new and unique cultures for our heroes to interact with. Care and attention is taken to develop the alien's culture, technology, as well as how they interact with their biosphere. Nods are even made to how their world may have evolved. The science is unlikely, but it doesn't mean it's impossible.

I will say, I'm of mixed feelings that the crisis inside the book is as much the fault of the U.S.S Titan as nature. While I suspect the author intended it to illustrate why the Prime Directive is important, i.e. don't go blundering into situations you don't fully understand, I prefer to see our heroes as positive forces rather than negative ones. Even if it's more realistic they'll make mistakes, potentially endangering an entire species is one which hurt my enjoyment of the book.

If I had to say what my favorite part of the book was, I'd definitely say it was developing the character of Aili Lavena as well as the developing relationship between Xin and Melora. The fact I've come to care as much about these 'lower decks' characters as the main cast, says a great deal about how effective the U.S.S Titan series has been in developing them.

Aili's story is about coming to terms with the fact she's a terrible parent, something which is an all-too-human frailty, while a great scientist. You don't usually see that sort of dichotomy and the fact she can't reconcile with her children is a nice way of showing things aren't always repairable. I also liked the contrast between Riker and Aili's attitudes towards sexuality. Riker has always been a gigantic horndog but he's in a committed monogamous relationship and finds Aili's disregard of that (as well as her family) disgusting.

Xin and Melora's relationship is surprising because it's one of the few fictional ones I actually have no idea how will end. Will they end up together? Will they break up? What will happen? Privately, I'm of the mind Aili was right and these two are no good for one another but I'll be interested in seeing how future authors handle it.

In conclusion, Over A Torrent Sea is a great book. It's a story about meeting new life and new civilizations while boldly going where no man has gone before. The fact there's no villains and the problems are purely natural in nature makes Roddenberry's vision stand out all the greater. Was it perfect? No, I had some problems with a few elements and it dragged in one or two places but I overall loved it. ...more

This is the eighth book in a series on Captain William T. Riker and his wife Counselor Deanna Troi's new ship, the USS Titan. Unfortunately, this is not a good place to come into the series, and I was quite a while orienting myself to the extremely diverse crew. (Unlike TV shows and movies, where having 99% humanoids saves on the budget, this series takes advantage of the book medium and has a crew with very few humans.)

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.

Then it's on to the planet of Droplet, a world made of mostly of oceans with a u ...more

We get to see also how the crew is adjusting to the post-Borg universe that really lays in the character building throughout! :D We get to see Christine Vale in command and how she adjusts to the unexpected and deals with the Titan as it is being trashed trying to save the planet! :D At the same time Riker and Aili in the planet trying to open and improve on the diplomatic dialogue they are engaging in with the Squales! :D This gives us an insight into Aili that hasn't been there before really building her character up but at the same really developing her! :D Dr. Ree goes a little crazy trying to protect Deanna's unborn baby and this leads to a pursuit to the uninhabited planet of Lumbu where the locals amongst the usual military and politicians value philosophers which leads to some hilarious first contacts situations first as Ree wants to see the Obstetrics department and then when Tuvok comes to fetch them! :D Event though it only features in part of the book the Lumbu are as devolved as the Squales on Droplet and this makes the book have an adventuress feel to the everything that is going! :D Tuvok and his wife T'Pel get their limelight as well as they have been through the ringer but the sorting out of their issues is really brilliantly handled and Tuvok and T'Pel's reaction to Troi and Riker's Baby is brilliant! :D The baby in question getting named Natasha is a neat little touch as well and will the lumps in the throat going but in a good way! :D As an aside we also get to see Melora and Xin getting spun around a bit which further develops their characters! :D Over a Torrent Sea takes great pleasure in throwing it's characters around and seeing what falls out and this lead to great character development! :D

The action and cultural misunderstandings throughout come thick and fast and the way that the crew of the Titan have to adjust is excellently handled and gives us an entire alien ecosystem that is brilliantly developed though you would certainly wince along with Cethente as he is put down through the depths! :D The discovery of the second ecosystem is very surreal and really comes off the page brilliantly you really have feeling of being there and this dovetails with the rest of the story excellently! :D Throughout the book the story works on a palimpsest of the levels that come together brilliantly in ways that you would not expect! :D The decision to have diplomatic relations and the debate in regards to the Prime Directive are carefully debated and you can certainly see reasons why eventually they would want to change things to reflect different circumstances! :D Indeed that is the argument that Riker and Vale make between themselves and coming to the same conclusions much to Riker's surprise! :D This at the same time illustrates how Vale has settled into the role of First Officer so well she really keeps the crew and Riker on the edge of their toes as all points which is obviously her job but really allows her character to flourish and develop more as well! :D

Over a Torrent Sea does a brilliant job as well of continuing the Titans exploration mission as well really getting to grips with the issues the crew are facing as well as moving on existing plotlines and setting new ones up in the process! :D We are getting to see the Titan characters really getting pushed out of their comfort zones but at the same time this is really allowing them to crow both as characters and as a reflection the worlds, phenomena etc that they ere encountering which in turn for the great world building is making for a warp powered adventured that are full of depth and exploration both of the character but of the new ground etc that they are breaking! :D Over a Torrent Sea is a roller coaster of events that gel brilliantly together in ways that you would not expect which gives the book a great feeling of inventiveness! :D At the same time it sets things up brilliantly in terms of plotting and character development for future books! :D Brilliant, full of adventure, daring do and action packed throughout! :D Bring you Snorkel! :D Highly recommended make sure you have the next one! :D Crisp high five! :D ...more

The premise is quite intriguing. The starship Titan and its grotesque zoo crew begin to survey a planet whose surface is entirely ocean. I really like the concept of this- I remember an Animated Series episode with a similar theme that captured my imagination. The crew discovers an intelligent form of life that look like something between squids and whales, and they call them "squales."
Basically, the plot centers around a few things. First, the efforts of a "Selkie" officer named Lavena, who is originally from a water world herself, to communicate with the squales. Second, the Titan's efforts to deflect an asteroid which just happens to be about to impact the planet; the efforts go haywire. Third, Deanna Troi is pregnant and about to pop, and an over-protective medical officer goes to extreme lengths to protect them in the midst of the crisis.
But along the way, I kept waiting for something to happen, and it never really did. The narrative is filled with scientific banter about the nature of the planet and its life, but these got really old fast. The dialogue between characters is atrocious. The story jumps the shark (pun intended) in multiple places (the aforementioned protective doctor taking the pregnant Troi to a warp-incapable planet to use their hospital facilities for birth; Riker becoming malnourished after being stranded on the planet and being found lying in his own filth). The interactions between Lavena and the squales seem forced and corny; the squales were perhaps the most shallow characters in the novel. And perhaps worst of all, it reads like a soap opera. Riker has apparently had a fling with this Lavena person a long time ago, and it leads to awkwardness and arguments that are just painful to read. Two other characters (Pazlar and Ra-Havreii, just read the book) have an even more painful treatment here.
I could probably go on a lot longer, but I'll just stop here. It just seems like Bennett was intrigued with the idea of an ocean planet, and tried to create a plot to fit it. And the result was a disjointed, forced, awkward narrative that was devoid of excitement. Now, I'm on to James Swallow's "Synthesis," and hopefully I will find something exciting there. ...more

I enjoy Star Trek books set on exotic planets, namely because the authors have a knack for making me feel like I'm there. This one featured Ensign Aili Lavena as she headed up the away team exploring the water planet Droplet. With no land masses to speak of, Lavena was the perfect one to literally explore the planet's depths. As a mature Selkie, she's fully aquatic and the only crewman able to check things out without needing a shuttlecraft or diving equipment.

With no land masses to speak of, Lavena was the perfect one to literally explore the planet's depths. As a mature Selkie, she's fully aquatic and the only crewman able to check things out without needing a shuttlecraft or diving equipment.

Lavena's initial foray into Droplet's waters got her attacked by a giant jellyfish and brought her to the attention of the locals, creatures resembling small whales or large dolphins with squidlike tentacles. On her next dive, she met more "squales" (squid-whales) and when she learned they were sentient, started a conversation. They agreed to continuing diplomatic conversations, but an approaching asteroid endangered both the squales and their planet and Titan as they tried to deflect it.

When the dust settled, Riker and Lavena were stranded on one of the floater islands naked with none of their technology (the squales didn't like anything unliving and got rid of it when they rescued the pair from the massive tidal wave the asteroid kicked up).

While the captain and the helmsman tried to find a way to get in touch with the ship, a very pregnant Counselor Troi was about to give birth, but Dr. Ree was acting strangely. He took a shuttlecraft and abducted Troi to parts unknown. Now Commander Vale, left in command of the ship, had two crises to resolve; find her missing crewmen and get the doctor back from wherever he took his patient to keep her safe for her birthing.

I enjoyed the resolution of multiple problems as usual, and especially learning more about Lavena's personal history (I've been wanting to know what a "sepkinalorian" was since she mentioned the term in the first book) and her twenty-years ago tryst with Captain Riker when he was an ensign. I also enjoyed getting more backstory on Dr. Ree, Eviku and Dr. Cethente- very interesting characters who deserved to get more spotlight.

Needless to say, I look forward to more voyages of the Titan soon. ...more

The crew of the Titan find an unusual water planet. They decide to investigate, and things get very complicated. Deanna is due to give birth very soon, and Tuvok is dealing with the death of his son. The world is very interesting and unusual. The truly alien feel to it is well realised. It concentrates mainly on the aquatic member of the crew and who she really is. There are some great character moments. A good read.

Quotes from Stürmische See

“TUVOK!” The lights were gone, only the emergency illumination remaining, but it was enough to let Deanna see that the Vulcan was sprawled motionless on the floor beneath the office table, his head coated in something dark and glistening. She couldn’t see color, but she knew it was green. “Oh, God.” She struck her combadge. “Medical emergency, Counselor Troi’s office!” Maybe emergencies, she thought as she felt her insides heave and she vomited up her last meal onto the carpet. She couldn’t tell through the inner turbulence if the baby was still kicking. “Sickbay, acknowledge!” Nothing. “Computer!” She began dragging herself toward Tuvok. “Where are you, you stupid computer?” But that voice, the one that reminded her so maddeningly of her mother, remained silent. “Somebody!” — 0 likes
