Customer Reviews of Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan
An above average novelization of the best Star Trek movie Since the novelization of "The Wrath of Khan" by Vonda N. McIntyre is based on the Screenplay by Jack B. Sowards of the story by Harve Bennett and Sowards, it is difficult to figure out who gets credit for what. The character you will remember the most from this novelization is Peter Preston. In the movie he is simply the young cadet in Engineering whose badly burned body Scotty brings to the bridge after the Enterprise evades Khan's first attack. But in McIntyre's novel Preston is Scotty's 14-year old nephew. His relationship, with Lt. Saavik as well as his uncle, is indicative of the sort of added depth you want when you read the novelization of a movie you have already seen (you wouldn't want to read it BEFORE hand, would you?). Writing these books is usually such a thankless effort, but McIntyre shows a nice understanding for the characters and their relationships. The proof of this is that she was entrusted with novelizing the next couple of Star Trek movies as well. I would think even the casual Star Trek fan would enjoy the extra dimensions she brings to what is still the best of the Star Trek movies and given what McIntyre brings to the table I would argue this is also the best Star Trek movie novelization.
Superb!
The novelization of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" is just as exciting as the movie--or I should say better! It picks up where the first movie leaves off. I found the book an exciting read due to its World War II cat-and-mouse submarine warfare feeling in the space battles. Vonda McIntyre has done a fine job at writing the novel, while adding more flavor to the characters. She makes references to the Original Series episode, "Space Seed" and what happened to Lt. Marla McIver after she betrayed the Enterprise crew, and her life on Ceti Alpha V in exile with Khan. Khan's characterin the novel is remarkable, like a 23rd century Ahab.
