Star Trek: Ex Machina (2004)
Fiction Review by The Gravedigger
03.20.05

Star Trek: Ex Machina (2004) This is a direct sequel to STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE and succeeds in joining the 'new voyages' with those of the previous 'Five Year Mission' adventures. Spock, after confronting V'ger, is more at peace with his human side and his subsequent emotions. Characters that were just peripherally dealt with in that movie, such as Chekov and Sulu, are fleshed out a bit more-and the book alludes to what will happen to them in the future (as with Chekov eventually becoming Captain of his own starship). The novel also explains why there are so many visible alien species on this refurbished ship as compared to the older version-it was Captain Decker's idea to have a diverse ship, which would exemplify what the Federation stands for.The majority of the book deals with a revolution happening on the planet of Daran IV, where the former refugees of the Fabrini worldship Yonada have settled. Some of them want an entirely new life, some embrace what the Federation has to offer and others wish to go back to worshipping a machine intelligence such as the Oracle and view V'ger as their new 'god'. Halfway through reading this book I had to go back and rewatch STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, as I hadn't seen it in a few years-and I think EX MACHINA actually made that first movie better, at least in my mind.
