The Two Front War by Peter DavidMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A better more coherent entry in this series - a more complete novel, though it is still obvious that David wrote a 1000 page book and then broke it down into four parts (what with the 'set up' in first book, the second that didn't have much occur but for flying towards then initial events in the 'space in conflict', and then this one here, more complete story but still ended abruptly on a cliffhanger; plus the individual books appear one month apart way back in 1997).
There's a good chance that, if the fourth book holds up well (whenever I get around to reading it), the entire four part book might end up being rated higher than the individual parts (as these breaks and cliffhangers really are hard to overcome - I've been taking breaks (reading other things) between 'parts/books' because, hey, there are breaks between the parts).
um. Wow, boring review. But what can I say? The spaceship is interrupted in it's rescue mission by being fired upon by another spaceship. Excalibur gets them to stop firing on them long enough to have a conversation. Meanwhile the royal dude who stowed away on Excalibur heads off in a shuttlecraft with a mountain of a man to 'save his sister'. Events and ships might not be what they seem.
Then . . . CLIFFHANGER! End.

End Game by Peter DavidMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well, that was disappointing. All that build up, all that . . stuff for . . . this book. mmphs. Absurd. Turned to fantasy, it did. Well, Science-Fantasy. Though, granted, the original Star Trek series liked slipping fantasy in now and then.
Ah well. That's life.
