Star Trek: Windows on a Lost World reviews by customers
 A Trek book with a unique perspective.
This is the story of an archaeological mission that goes spectacularly and uniquely wrong. The crew discover a transporter-like device that converts Kirk, Chekov and several others into the long-dead aliens that originally inhabited the planet. Kirk has to figure out how to contact Spock from inside an alien body while Spock must decipher the alien technology and change the converted crew back before they go insane. The scenes with Kirk in the alien body are very well written and the slow unravelling of the alien society is well paced and depicted. The archaeological investigations of Spock are also written, although others may find them to be lacking in events and with too much time on descriptions. Stories in which the crew actually spend their time in scientific exploration are fairly rare, and this is a very good and detailed one.
 Made Me A Bit Crabby
windows on a Lost World is one of the more technical Star Trek novels. My background lies more with the humanities, so I felt the story dragged a bit, but even though I wasn't particularly interested in the anthropology, geology, and oceanography related issues that were dealt with, I recognized that it was well thought out and written. A Trekker who is interested in such subjects will this a worthwhile read.
 Archeology, crab bodies, alien miinds, ancient ruins...wow!
While performing archeological research on a long-uninhabited planet, Kirk, Chekov, and a security team fall through an artifact that might once have served has a one-way transportation device and are taken over by alien minds and bodies as they learn the details of exactly what happened to its ancient civilization. This audio novel crept up on me at a time when I was taking geology and oceanography courses in college. I literally had to squeeze fifteen weeks of oceangraphy into three weeks that summer, so while I had to devote most of my time to studying, this tape served as a way for me to take a break without actually forgetting some of what I was studying, because the idea of a team of scientists working together as in this story helped to keep me grounded and hopeful that I would pass my course.
