ST-TOS: Star Trek III - The Search for Spock:
Star Trek-The Original Series: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock by Vonda N. McIntyre based on a screenplay by Harve Bennett is just what is says... the search for Spock.
This book is based on Paramount Pictures space adventure Star Trek III the movie... The Search for Spock... but is Spock really gone for good? The awesome powers of the Genesis Device were released in an inert nebula and now where there was nothing, there is a planet teeming with life. But, to the Federtion and its enemies there is... more info
Beginning scenes a great extra:
Vonda McIntyre's added scenes in the beginning of this book were absolutely wonderful. The romance between Lieutenant Saavik and David Marcus, the wake for Spock, and the story about how Captain Sulu is originally supposed to command the Excelsior all bring together the story in a much better way than the movie did. Overall, an excellent book that all should read!
Good writing, bad concept.:
It's a real shame that Vonda McIntyre's excellent writing had to be hamstrung by being forced into the general plot of the third Star Trek movie; the very concept behind this book -- bringing back the character of Spock after he'd quite efficiently and irrevocably been written out of the series in the previous movie -- was just plain stupid, and there was no possible way to do it well. Granted, writing him out in the first place was a mistake, but it was one that there was virtually no way to repair.... more info
Nostalgia for Spock fans:
OK, I read this book when I hadn't seen the movie. I still haven't. That's because I think its an amazing piece of fiction and the movie (even though it came first) wouldn't do justice to the book!
For crazy Spock fans like me it's getting back to the pure Trekkie zone, a refreshing change from the "Next Gen" ! The small part of the novel based in Vulcan is an amazing work at giving natural touch. Vonda McIntyre's descriptions are world class!
