After decades writing STAR TREK and other science fiction stories, New York Times bestselling author Howard Weinstein turns to historical/Western fiction with his Western Fictioneers Peacemaker Award-winning novel GALLOWAY'S GAMBLE -- and now the long-awaited sequel, GALLOWAY'S GAMBLE 2: LUCIFER & THE GREAT BALTIMORE BRAWL.
Praise from True West magazine: “Anyone who loves Charles Portis's style of writing in True Grit, or readers ready [for] a great yarn…look no farther than GALLOWAY'S GAMBLE.” Fellow STAR TREK author Dayton Ward calls it “a rich, layered story where the characters leap off the page… Extensive research infuses his tale with authenticity."
Howard’s nearly 50 years of writing credits include seven STAR TREK novels; 65 STAR TREK comic books; “The Pirates of Orion” animated STAR TREK episode; story-development assistance on STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME; a biography of Mickey Mantle; and PUPPY KISSES ARE GOOD FOR THE SOUL, a charming account of life with legendary Welsh Corgi Mail Order Annie.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2016Excellent plot line, engaging characters. Great for the original series fans.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2008Titan continue their line of novels based upon the original Star Trek series with #2 Deep Domain by Howard Weinstein.
In the foreward the author mentions that this was one of the ideas discussed with Leonard Nimoy when proposing ideas for Star Trek IV so you can see where certain parallels come from. This novel sits in the chronology though between The Motion Picture and The Wrath Of Khan, nicely tying in events in the last third of the book which explain certain characters motivations at the beginning of the second movie.
The Enterprise is sent to Akkalla, a virtually water covered planet, to make an evaluation on a Federation science outpost there. When a disaster strikes another world the Enterprise is diverted and Spock and Chekov proceed in advance in the aquashuttle Cousteau. However, they become involved with a conflict between Akkallan ships and what appears to be an invading fleet of ships from the next planet Chorymi.
By the time the Enterprise arrives, Spock and Chekov are missing, the planetary leader Ffaridor and his adjutant Vvox seem to be evasive in their help and news from the science team shows a world in turmoil and on the verge of civil war.
The characters are all quite broadly drawn but Weinstein paints a great picture of this alien world and immerses you in its culture, politics and beliefs. He also introduces us to a couple of new Enterprise crew who are quite entertaining, especially the lupine Lieutenant Maybri. It's also nice to see Dr. McCoy getting his share of the action as his character is sometimes overlooked except as a foil for Kirk and Spock.
The story moves along without too much distraction and the obvious parallels to The Voyage Home appear, as well as Greenpeace and a `eco message' that's there underneath `the adventure' that's about as subtle as the movie. Still, allegorical stories are what Trek does best and you've certainly got one here, which also ages the book for those of us who remember the 80's and certain events that were splashed across the news at the time.
Those of you who remember `The Ambergris Element' from the animated series will find the story rather obvious from about a third of the way in but that aside it's still an entertaining adventure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story and flow
Good story I think. Whether it was really going to be Star Trek III or not. Moves along well and keeps your interest.
