Synopsis

The Devil's Heart is a legendary object of unsurpassed power and mystery. Worlds that believe in magic consider it Darkness's mightiest talisman; and worlds of science consider it a lost artifact of some ancient and forgotten race. Some say the Heart enables its possessor to control people's minds and to amass wealth enough for a dozen lifetimes, while others think it capable of raising the dead, perhaps even changing the flow of time itself. But to all, the location of this fabled object has remained a mystery, until now.
An isolated archaeological outpost has suddenly stopped responding to repeated requests for information. Sent to discover why, the U.S.S. EnterpriseTM crew finds a devastated outpost and a dying scientist, whose last words fall on disbelieving ears: the Devil's Heart has been found. As the quest for the Heart unfolds, Captain Jean-Luc Picard discovers that beyond all the legends and age-old secrets lies an awful truth: whoever holds the Devil's Heart possesses power beyond imagining.

It's a long time since I've read any Star Trek tie-ins (though I keep buying interesting-sounding ones* in kindle editions), but a couple of weeks ago I was on a train back from London after visiting my father in hospital, surrounded by football fans and generally feeling too fragile and distracted......more

Goodreads review by Jerry on January 12, 2013

Story: 4/5 I have to say, the premise is pretty intriguing, and Carmen Carter seems to make it work rather well. There's really not much else to say other than that. Writing: 3/5 Though this book has a great storyline, reading it felt a bit lackluster. I finished it, but I had to push myself slightly t......more

Goodreads review by Jeremiah on February 10, 2020

I liked this book enough to want read more by the author but I didn't like it enough to recommend it. Basically this book is about a rock that causes trouble--if you're like me, you have to read this on that summary alone! Unfortunately, while I liked seeing what could be done with such a simple pre......more
