All right, I admit it: I'm a big fan of Star Trek! :) Reading this novelization based on the movie made the sci-fi nerd in me very happy. I would highly recommend this book to any Star Trek fan who laughs at the one-liners and can't wait until the next movie comes out to relive the adventures of the starship Enterprise! I would also recommend that you boldly go to your nearest library or bookstore to pick up this book and start reading! :) I really enjoyed this. I was expecting a straight forward adaption from movie to book, but there are a lot of extra details here that either aren't present in the source material, or that I had missed. I loved the extra insight into what the characters were thinking.I loved the author's Pip and Flinx series and had a feeling I would like this, but I was almost afraid to read it just in case it sucked.There were a few things I didn't like, which made this lose a star.--Too many epithets. He seemed to really enjoy referring to Spock as 'the science officer' rather than his name. This happened a bit to all of the characters, but this was the one that stood out to me the most.--When Khan's men were supposedly shot at him in the movie, he yelled "NO!". I really enjoyed that part of the movie because you can tell he is really doing all he can to try to save his people.--The tribble. I was really hoping there would be some explanation as to why it was still sitting on the table after the ship had been doing some body rolls in the air.--"KHAAAAANNNNN!!" Made me laugh in the movie, made me laugh here.--The fight between Spock and Khan was still too short.Okay, some of those aren't the author's fault, since they happened in the movie, but still ;)Anyway, the book was a joy to pick up and read each night, despite the handful of issues I had with it.
What do You think about Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)?
Ein typisches "Roman zum Film, basierend auf dem Drehbuch"-Buch. :)

Helps fill in a lot of the gaps of the movie edit.
