** The Galactic Whirlpool, review by Kiel Stuart ("It's interesting reading despite its weaknesses. Moreover it is good Star Trek, with no glaring inconsistencies in the development or major Enterprise characters. Give it a try.")
** Death's Angel, review by T'Yenta ("If your Captain Kirk is a casual, rapist, and your idea of a heroine is a woman who can excuse violation on the grounds that the unknowing victim possibly enjoyed it, then this book is for you.")
** The Price of the Phoenix and The Fate of the Phoenix, review by Bess ("How does K/S get involved? There is more love and caring written into this type of story than any other - which is so tragic because is reality there is NO trust... love or sharing involved in such a relationship.")
