Bestselling science fiction authors Debra Doyle and James D. Macdonald reveal the untold tale behind William Boone and the birth of the human Resistance. William Boone had always been good at strategy and fighting. When war breaks out at the turn of the millennium, Boone is quick to join and even quicker to move up the ranks. Finding himself the Captain of a Special Forces unit sent into the Far East, Boone proves himself as a crack commando who doesnt panic under pressure. And then the Companions arrive. Boone will be tested to the utmost as he finds himself the protector of North Americas Companion Daan, and a founding member of Earths fledgling resistance movement. Set before and during the days of the Taelon arrival, the thrilling story of the Resistances very first fallen hero, William Boone, is finally told. Praise for The Stars Asunder: An intricate tale, rich in characters and maneuverings. ~ Analog Fresh and exciting a real page-turner. ~ SF Revue

In terms of a TV to book rendition that often can create a bland product that has no bearing at all to the TV show it springs from this book does a great job. Its not going to win a prize for literature or anything but it does a fairly good job holding the integrity of the characters together and keeping the reader interested.

Augur, a sexy character already, has a very sexy conflict with Kate, Boone's wife, while Boone is chasing down bad guys. Tight action, great humor, and some nifty computer wizardry make this a must read for all science fiction fans.

The writing doesn't have a pulse. The series seems to have fallen victim to drone writing assignments.

A potentially imaginative project has been cranked out with no fire, no magic. Very dry and uninspired writing ruins an otherwise fascinating Roddenberry treasure. Really disappointing. Critics or English teachers might have done a better job of breathing life into this one.

I'm not impressed with this one. It was supposed to give the readers (fans of E:FC) a glimpse into Boone's past, chronicle his very first meeting with Augur, etc., etc. I didn't learn anything about Boone I didn't already know. The "first meeting" was trite. The book's one saving grace was the development of Kate, Boone's wife, a data wrangler of some considerable skill.
So many things were glossed over, Kate's participation in the mysterious project, the "Octopus," the arrival of the Taelons, etc. It became very frustrating. Frankly, this book read like a "backstory sketch" meant to provide other writers with a little background information in order to write more detailed books of their own. I'm sorry I bought it.
