Ghost Hunting: True Stories of Unexplained Phenomena from The Atlantic Paranormal Society

113 reviews

Pocket, 2007

Ghost Hunting
An avid fan of Ghost Hunters I watch the show religously every week. I think Jason and Grant's methods for investigating the paranormal are sound and add merit to a field of investigation that was not always taken seriously. Especially when their methods are first and foremost to debunk a haunting rather than prove it. This book is in addition to several books I already have on hand on the ...

Star Trek, 2003

Star Trek-Stargazer: Oblivion
Star Trek-Stargazer: Oblivion written by Michael Jan Friedman is the latest installment in the Stargazer series featuring a young Captain Jean-Luc Picard. As with most of Friedman's work this story has both an A and B plotline. So, hopping from one story to the next is what you'll have to do to finish this story. Jean-Luc Picard is on a mission to find a long lost friend, Demmix, who has vital ...

ST: Stargazer - Progenitor
Before the Enterprise, "Q," and the Borg, Captain Jean-Luc Picard's first command was on the U.S.S. Stargazer. This adventure of Star Trek: Stargazer - Progenitor by Michael Jan Friedman is about the continuing adventures of Captain Picard's first command. This is a character driven adventure mainly focusing on two stories interwoven within the main theme of this book. But there are sub-stories ...

Ever since those chilling words reverberated throughout the bridge of the Enterprise, the Borg have been the most dangerous and relentless adversary of the entire Star Trek universe. Now, collected for the first time, their most fearsome adventures on the comics page!

Three (Star Trek: Stargazer, Book 3)

Pocket Books, 2003

Surprisingly good.
I thought, as I read through this book, that the author was painting himself into a corner and that I was not going to be able to suspend disbelief sufficiently to buy his conclusion. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not the case. The book was well-written, well-paced, and just generally well-done.

Enigma (Star Trek Stargazer, Book 5)

4 reviews
Michael Jan Friedman

Star Trek, 2004

A solid entry into the Stargazer series
Star Trek: Stargazer is an interesting series for the TREK book line. Within this series, we see the early days of Picard's first command, the USS Stargazer (as seen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Battle"). It takes place during a little-charted era in Star Trek lore, so there's breathing room for storytelling. However, we've seen a good number of the crew 30+ years later ...

Star Trek Archives Volume 3: The Gary Seven Collection

Predator: Flesh And Blood

Dark Horse, 2007

Family, human or otherwise...
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family. These words have always rung true. Sometimes you love your family. They're the greatest thing that ever happened to you. You'd be lost without them. Other times you wish you'd have never been born. The family you are part of just happens to be a major embarrassment to you, or they just plain don't like you. So, unlike ...

Star Trek Comics Classics : Convergence (Star Trek Comics Classics)
Michael Jan Friedman, Howard Weinstein

Titan Books, 2008

These are the continuing comics adventures of Kirk, Spock, Scotty - and Picard, Riker and Data - as the crews of both U.S.S. Enterprises come together in a series of amazing adventures! They first meet in the official adaptation of Star Trek Generations ... then in a thrilling epic involving both crews and many more famous Star Trek characters, including Gary Seven, Gowron, Captain Harriman, General Tellius, and the nefarious Devidians! ...

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Death in Winter (Star Trek, the Next Generation)

Star Trek, 2007

Another Great Friedman Story...
The novel takes place right after the events of Nemesis and the Enterprise is back to get repairs before it heads out again. Picard looks at the crew and realizes that a lot of the crew members that he has known over years are gone. Riker and Troi have gone to the Titan, Data was destroyed, and many others have gone. Of course what is on Picard's mind more than anything else is the fact that ...

Tomorrow Men (The Ultimates)

5 reviews
Michael Jan Friedman

Pocket Star, 2006

Not Millar, but not that bad either...
The Ultimates: Tomorrow Men bridges the gap between the first 12 issues of Ultimates and the second 12 issues. It is a fun, energetic story written by Michael Han Friedman. That is the only fault of the story, is it's written by someone other than Mark Millar, and therefore, some of the magic is missing. The plot, without giving too much away, involves a band of white and green clad figures ...

STAR TREK NEXT GENERATION CROSSOVER (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

Star Trek Crossover: This should be the next movie
This is the best story to combine characters from both the original Star Trek series and The Next Generation. Jonathon Frakes gives an outstanding performance as he reads for characters like the surly Admiral McCoy, the stoic Ambassador Spock, and the irrepressible Captain Scott. His Picard, Data, and, of course, Riker are top notch, too. The story involves Picard and crew on a diplomatic ...

The Best!
The best book I have read in a long time. Amazingly funny! Totally cool!

Shadows on the Stunned
I wasn't gonna write reviews today. I was just gonna read... Till I read this one. I would like to say this is my favorite Star Trek novel by my favorite author. McCoy was a trainee in a portion of this, they called him "trainee" ... so what? Some people have such strange reasons for hating novels. I agree with a previous review, the Shadows on the Sun ideal was described so perfectly. Ok, ...

Aliens: Original Sin Volume 1

Michael Jan Friedman

Dark Horse, 2005

Finally a book with Ripley!
Original takes place where Alien: Resurrection left off: Ripley, Call, Johner, and Vriess are on Earth, then in next chapters they're in space looking to make sure no more Aliens are near Earth. But as it turns out the Government sends an egg to a floating garden place within the Egg is a newer breed of Alien. This was a Very good book.

Planet X (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

38 reviews
Michael Jan Friedman

Pocket Books, 1998

An excellent way to bring together two genres
Outside of watching "The X-Men" movie and looking forward to the next one, I'm not a huge X-Men fan. That being said, this book absolutely floored me. I couldn't put it down and read it in two days (if I wasn't working 18 hours a day at that time it would've been one day). MJ Friedman has with this Star Trek installment, once again, shown why he's one of the top selling Star Trek authors. ...

Starfleet Year One (Star Trek)

Michael Jan Friedman

Star Trek, 2002

Everything ENTERPRISE should have been
As some reviewers are unaware, this book was written well before ENTERPRISE appeared on television. Starfleet: Year One is a truer Trek and would have been a better premise for a Trek prequel. I like ENTERPRISE, but I liked Starfleet: Year One even more. Very well done.

Star Trek, 2002

Even Younger Than Captain Kirk
I recently read the book that described the first mission ever commanded by the Captain that will always come to mind first, Captain James T. Kirk, and his starship The Enterprise. Even though I have been a fan of the various television series and the movies that have followed, the book I mention was the first Star Trek novel I had ever read. The author was familiar to me as she had written for ...

The Valiant (Star Trek The Next Generation)

Star Trek, 2001

The Stargazer Saga Continues
Started in ST:TNG Reunion and continued in The Valiant, Gauntlet, and Progenitor, this particular novel is incredible. It was superior to Gauntlet and about even with Reunion. I loved the Original Series elements and the flashback to the Valiant's last mission. I was slightly confused as to the effects of Greyhorse's syrum on the psychic humans, but all in all, this story is a must-read ...

Maker (Star Trek)

Star Trek, 2004

ST: Stargazer, Maker
Star Trek: Stargazer, Maker written by Michael Jan Friedman is worderfully well constructed story. As with all of the Stargazer series, Michael Jan Friedman writes them and he hasn't diappointed us with this story. There is character development, mystry, action, and intrigue with this story. "Maker" is well developed and has two main stories within this book. If you have read "Valiant," ...
