Adventure Improved! The right way to see this movie....

I always enjoy the novelizations of the Trek movies - often they are the better version, certainly the case here. Dillard does a good job tightening up the story, polishing off the characters and blurring the rough parts.

Another example of the good writer/bad script pairing resulting in a readable, though not spectacular, novelization. J.M. Dillard didn't have much to work with, and she did the best she could. (See "Empire Strikes Back" for a good script/bad writer disaster, and "Revenge of the Sith" for another bad script/good writer success.) ( )

Book description
THE ENTERPRISE EMBARKS ON HER MOST FANTASTIC ADVENTURE OF ALL!
The planet Nimbus III. A desolate, forbidding world, situated in the heart of the Neutral Zone. Unremarkable, except for one Thing: Nimbus Ill is the site of an unprecedented attempt at cooperation among the galaxy's three major powers. Here, to this "Planet of Galactic Peace", the Klingons, the Romulans, and the Federation have all sent ambassadors, who are working together to develop the planet--an experiment that, if it succeeds, could transform the galactic balance-of-power. But now terrorists have seized control of Nimbus Ill. And when Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise attempt a dramatic rescue, they discover a threat unlike any they have ever faced. A threat that will force them to confront the inner demons of their own, secret pasts--and the forbidden secrets.
