I've read all of the Titan series so far and I've really enjoyed them. Synthesis, however, stands tall among them all. The first few novels were a little awkward to read as they each seemed to focus on different members of the crew and the authors drew upon what we already know of many of the characters. Synthesis stands apart as the first book, in my opinion, where CAPTAIN Riker makes himself known. No longer is he the "Number One" we all know and love, but that's a good thing. I really enjoyed seeing how Riker has grown in this novel. I also enjoyed seeing, really for the first time, a lot of the other characters come together and work as a single crew. Much of this series has played on the diversity of the Titan crew, and that's interesting and fun to read about to be sure. However, Synthesis is the first in the series that really showed them all coming together at the same time. When push comes to shove, they're all Starfleet officers and, in that way, at least, they're all united. That bond was evident here as in no other Titan novel. ( ) The latest adventure of the U.S.S. Titan-- still my favorite original Star Trek fiction concept-- brings it to an area of space inhabited by artificial intelligences. The story doesn't waste any time debating whether or not these intelligences are sentient, but spends its time constructing a compelling and interesting civilization for them, especially via the character White-Blue, whose eventual fate I was happy to see. Less than exciting was the contrived fate of Titan, the Titan's computer come to sentience itself. But with the ever-enjoyable Titan crew in some compelling action, this was yet another strong installment of the series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The Starship Titan continues on her outward voyage of discovery. Ranging farther and farther from Federation space, Captain William Riker and the crew look forward to living Starfleet's mission: seeking out new life, discovering new civilizations. Striking a "sandbank" -- a spatial distortion -- the Titan is knocked out of warp, her crew shaken up but uninjured. Titan has stumbled across a battlefield, and floating in it, shattered and in pieces, are the remains of a ship. Searching for survivors, they discover the ship never had a crew. The away team removes the computer core, looking for answers. Once the device is restored, it becomes clear this is not just a computer, but a thinking, reasoning artificial intelligence. It identifies itself as SecondGen White-Blue, and it comes from a civilization composed entirely of sentient computers. Eons ago these artificial intelligences were charged to be the first line of defense against The Null -- a destructive force so all-consuming that generation upon generation have waged unending war trying to find a way to beat back this terror. Captain Riker offers to assist them, but years of war have left the AIs distrustful and suspicious, especially of organics. The tide of the battle is turning, and The Null is winning. Set free, it will destroy everything in this system and then, unchecked, spread its mindless destruction into the heart of the Federation. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
