I read all three books but of course Diana's was the best. I gave three stars because of Diana Palmer contribution. The books all centered around the Native American theme. The men were all of Native American decent. I stuggled through the second book, it was sooooo boring. The third book was toooo unrealistic. I found it confusing and a little hard to follow. However, I do know that Heather Pozzessere is a good writer. Anyway, the first book was DP's Hunter. This book is the followup of His Girl Friday. Jennifer Marist is a geologist who is under the protection of Phillip Hunter. They are on assignment to do a land survey in the Arizona desert. Jennifer is absolutely, irrevocably in love with Phillip and cannot hide her attraction to him. Phillip is not interested in an interracial relationship, but is attracted to Jennifer also. He is a product of an interacial marriage and saw the absolute misery his father endured at the hands of his mother. For this reason, Phillip strives to keep Jennifer at bay. Of course he is not always successful and this is fodder for some of the hottest sex scenes that Diana has ever done (whew!). This is a definite keeper, but only for this book. Good reading!

I've read most of Kathleen Harrington books and I've totally loved her writing but this one in my opinion was just an average romance. It was a little too tedious (about mining & law) and you basically knew where the plot was going from the first page. The plusses about this book is that the relationship between the two main characters was very intense and totally hot! The main characters, all other characters and the little town of Butte were so well written that i could just picture it so well in my mind, just like you're there. You should read this if you're a fan of her writing, but if this is the first Kathleen Harrington book you want to pick up I'd suggest "The Dream Catcher" (my favorite by this author).

It's not the worst Star Trek book I've read but it's close.

The author seems to have no feel at all for the characters, especially the Vulcans. She has Sarek throwing temper tantrums and wallowing in self pity. She has Spock in loud, heated arguments over politics. She has Kirk proposing marriage to someone he met a few days before. She attempts to imply that the basis for the mystery might explain the actions of Spock and Kirk but there's no excuse for Sarek. It's also interesting that nobody seems to think Spock becoming hyperemotional is at all out of the ordinary.

The basic premise is laughable. The solution to the mystery relied on science/biology that was absolutely absurd, even by Star Trek standards.

The author proceeds to invent dozens of new races, all increasingly silly from 3 meter long lobsters to 7 feet tall Koala bears ( who even eat Eucalyptus leaves ). Throw in a shapeshifting race that becomes more active when it has energy available, such as as sunlight and food, who allegedly could convert the entire output of the Enterprise's engine into a shape shift. Something about the concept of an organic lifeform taking the full power of the warp engines through it's body strikes me as silly.

The author then manages to create an entire parallel agency in the Federation that sounds suspiciously like the Judge Dredd concept of law enforcement agents with a license to kill. They even dress in all black with gold trim.

Overall it seems that there was a massive failure of imagination by the author. She merely threw in a variety of previously used concepts and dumped it out into the reader's lap.

All in all a very poor book.

Kathleen Sky has the characters down pat. A well thought out well written mystery that will keep you guessing to the very end.
