Star Trek: Memory Prime

{4.5/5} “Pathfinder Two enjoyed its communication with those voices, though it found them too slow and too limited to be considered a phenomenon of real intelligence. All of life was a game and the voices accounted for some of the high points, but that was as far as Two was inclined to take matters, unlike some of its more mystically inclined companions.”

Star Trek: Memory Prime by Gar and Judith Reeves-Stevens, published in 1988

Captain Kirk and the Enterprise have been asked to transport a delegation of prize-nomimated scientists to the ceremonies on Memory Prime. It’s a highly secure library deep inside an asteroid. The place employs synthetic consciousnesses and adapted humans who interface with them. Commodore Wolfe comes aboard the Enterprise, along with 20 troops, as a security adviser but she doesn’t tell Kirk why.

Scotty and Uhura have some great scenes. It features Mira Romaine from the episode “The Lights of Zetar.”

It’s about dealing with an emergency but with limited information, and interacting with beings of an artificial nature.

This is the 2nd time I’ve read it.

I’ve read 12 novels by the Reeves-Stevens. I previously reviewed Star Trek: Deep Space Nine — Millennium: Inferno. They were also writers on the 4th season of Enterprise.
