If you were to ask Jason what single franchise would come to mind when you mention my name, he would probably say " Star Trek ".  I'm not a fanatic about it- but I do enjoy the shows, movies, tech manuals, and novels- in fact, I have quite a few of the novels in my collection.  Sonni Cooper's " Black Fire " is one of my favorites... An explosion rips through the Enterprise's bridge- injuring Kirk and Spock.  Scotty and Spock discover a plot by a war-loving race called the Tomarii.  After being framed for the explosion, Spock sets out to clear his name... discovering some unlikely allies along the way. .. As much as I love Captain Kirk, I especially love it when writers explore the other characters.  This Spockcentric novel is a fun adventure to read.  There's action, suspense, humour, tragedy, honour, drama, intrigue, and friendship.  " Star Trek: Black Fire " isn't just Star Trek, it's Star Trek as a space opera- and I loved it. ...
