This substantial volume brings together six novels, all set in The Captain's Table, a bar where ships' captains from many worlds throughout history can gather to drink, talk, and brawl. The price of the first round of drinks is always a story, and each captain settles back to spin a yarn.

Captains Kirk and Sulu meet some unusual reptilian aliens in an intriguing adventure, while Picard goes undercover in search of a missing Starfleet officer and a legendary Cardassian treasure in a fast-moving tale. Sisko's brush with a mysterious race of invisible phased matter aliens, on the other hand, is slow and talky. The pace picks up again as Janeway describes her experiences as a deck hand aboard the ship of a comparatively low-tech culture where, marooned, she has to work her way up from the bottom. Peter David's creation, Mackenzie Calhoun, relates his experiences as First Officer of the Grissom under the vengeful Captain Kenyon, and Christopher Pike searches for the origins of a species of spacefaring whales.

Most of these adventures are well-written--and feature some excellent aliens--and their first-person narration gives a more intimate feel than most Star Trek novels. --Elizabeth Sourbut, Amazon.co.uk

The Best of the Super Sagas in Six Parts by Editor Ordover.......2006-07-10

This saga has to be one of the most highly rated books. The captains table has no meaning in time and space. In one minute Captain Kirk of the movie era is at the table and the next we see Captain Picard in the second story. It's takes place in a spot where there is no constant in the timeline.

If you don't read any other book read this one. It's one of the best series around. You won't be disappointed in this one. It features all the eras. The movies,TV shows and New Frontier. I would like to see an update someday with a Captain Archer volume. That's only if Pocket wants to re market this classic combination of talents. You can't go wrong here. This one has it all. There are several series that follow that don't measure up on one level or another. This one consistantly delivers in each entry. I have very few qualms with this book because of all the classic story elements being in place.

If you purchase the next Captain's Table anthology,(this time in one slim volume) you get to see Captain's Archer,Gold and Demora Sulu and Captain Chakotay!

Star Trek: The Captain's Table - Absolutely wonderful!.......2002-07-22

Star Trek: The Captain's Table Omnibus is a wonderful compilation of some of the best Star Trek written to date! I originally read all six of the paperbacks and purchased this more as a collector's thing than anything else. All in all, the whole series is great and in good keeping with the principles and ethos of what "The Great Bird of the Galaxy" intended Star Trek to be. I do have to admit that it would be nice if one of the better trek authors was given the opportunity to write a seventh book with Captain Archer from "Enterprise."

Star Trek: Captain's Table - just great !.......2002-01-17

The stories were great! I especially enjoyed this as my first e-book. The location of the Captain's Table and the description of the varied environments each captain perceived added an extra dimension to the atmosphere of each story.

Great series.......2001-12-06

Everything about these books is great the plot and storyline of new and old characters is a wonderful blend. I personally liked the New Frontier novel, because I am a big fan of the New Frontier and all of Peter David's excellent writings. Even though some might not agree I gave them all 5 stars because they are all generally great books.

Balderdash straight from the bosses' mouths.......2001-08-07

Existing outside of conventional space-time, the Captain's Table is a bar open only to anyone who has ever held the rank or title of captain, regardless of race, creed, color, age, era, species, service branch, or vessel; it gets hinted at in "Double Helix #5: Double or Nothing." Among its patrons are Jean Lafitte, John Paul Jones, and Captain Nemo (calling himself "Nowan"). TITANIC Captain Edward Smith has taken up residence here (permanently cursing the iceberg), and Alexander the Great tried to take over the place and got exiled.
What makes this series interesting is not only how they let you inside the heads of each captain, but that the bar changes appearance for every visitor: Calhoun sees it as a Xenexian tavern, while Picard sees it as a French inn. In terms of characterization, the best story would have to be Calhoun's, because he completely drops his borderline-savage/space-cowboy facade and shows some real sentiment. The multi-franchise miniseries also ties in with the "Invasion!" tetralogy by having Sisko meet Klingon Captain Sotugh from "The Soldiers of Fear" and Janeway run into an alien similar to the vaguely Satanic Zennor from "First Strike." Hardcore Trek fans should enjoy the Christopher Pike entry, which gives a hint as to what his XO's name was.
