Star Trek TOS: Movie Novelizations #6
The Undiscovered Country
Internal pressures, enormous military expenditures, and the destruction of their primary energy source have brought the Klingon Empire to the verge of catastrophic collapse.
To avert disaster, Gorkon, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council, proposes negotiations between the Federation and Klingon Empire, negotiations that will put an end to the years of hostility between the two powers, and herald a new era of peace and cooperation. Captain James T. Kirk and the U.S.S. EnterpriseTM are dispatched to escort the Chancellor safely into Federation space.
But a treacherous assassination brings negotiations to a sudden halt and places Kirk and Dr. McCoy in the hands of the Federation's greatest enemy. With time running out, Spock and the Enterprise crew work to uncover the deadly secret that threatens to propel the galaxy into the most destructive conflict it has ever known.

As a Puerto Rican Trekkie it pains me to write about this novel because it rankles me whenever the themes of racism and bigotry are glossed over, as they are in this book. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country by J. M. Dillard is a great adaptation of the movie. If you were a fan of the Original Series, there were some major impediments to your enjoyment of it. There is an overt racism that hangs like a pall over the crew. However justified as they might be, especially in the case of Captain Kirk and the loss of his son, it still feels wrong to root for the bigots. Yes, the Klingons have always endeavored to demonstrate themselves the unconquerable, but the Klingons are at a crossroads. They are vulnerable and when your enemy is vulnerable, the enlightened show mercy. Some motivations are clarified here where in the movie they are off-putting, and the mental rape of Valeris is anesthetized. Gross! And the fact that it is an authorized action by a superior officer does not justify the action. I believe that this adaptation works well and enhanced my enjoyment of this movie, but I still have some major gripes with the plot.

Did you know that the Organians disappeared?
This was a tremendous effort of a novelization for Star Trek VI. It filled in so many other little bits and pieces that actually made the story make a lot more sense, like the Organians disappearing. Tensions run high throughout the Federation as a rogue, maybe cloaked, Klingon "warbird" (read Bird of Prey) is attacking Federation colonies - almost killing Carol Marcus. The Organians have disappeared and Valeris is actually a Klingon name, given to her by her Vulcan parents, in an attempt at a peace offering to the Klingons, but they were ultimately killed and she was raised by Humans - hence her entirely non-Vulcan attitude. Plus, the Organians have disappeared. There's no Colonel West (Rene Auberjonois cameo), instead it's an unnamed "young Lieutenant" who presents the briefing and states the Federation will "clean their chronometers"...and the assassin is a Klingon and not Colonel West.
Spock no longer "rapes" Valeris with the mind-meld, either. In the book, as he melds, he allows her into his mind so that she can gain his perspective on things, and then she willingly allows him into hers - that's a MUCH better scene than in the movie. I mean, what with the Organians disappearing and all that, we don't need that additional trauma - plus, it's very anti-Spock. There are also some elements that I found somewhat confusing, as this is a book, we are given Chang's and Valeris' inner thoughts and they do not come across as traitors - they seem totally genuine - so, their later switch seems to come out of nowhere. It's almost as confusing as the Organians disappearing.
By the way, I'm saying that over and over and over again, because the first half of the book mentions the Organians disappearing somewhere between eight and twelve times, if I had to guess.
The battle between the Bird of Prey (the Dakronh), the Enterprise, and the Excelsior, is one of my most favorite starship battles ever portrayed on screen. It's not flashy, bang bang lights flying all over the place, with a million little specks of stuff going every which way...it's actually a logical battle, where the cloaked opponent keeps changing position and prolongs the suffering as he plays with his opponent. It's just the cat's pajamas. In the novel...not so much...even though it remains fundamentally the same...it's just not...
If you like Star Trek VI...and you should...it is probably the best, if not easily in the top three of Star Trek movies, I have no doubt that you'll enjoy this book.

This novelization did some things better than the movie, some things not as good as the movie. Taken together, they sort of balance themselves out. The Carol Marcus/Kudao/Themis backstories helped make the crew's bitterness and bigotry make more sense than in the movie, where it seemed out of character. An interesting read, if you've seen the movie and enjoyed it.

I listened to the audiobook and I will always love to listen to any Star Trek books.

An excellent novelization of the film. Great descriptions of the scenes we saw on screen, with just enough background and extra tidbits to make reading the story worth it.
The racism and indoctrination on both sides isn't shied away from, with the media's tendency to sensationalize held to task for its role in helping to build hate.
I appreciated the insight into the completely out of character forced mindmeld Spock perpetrates in the film, though I'm not convinced what's written here is what was intended on-screen - especially with Valeris's final agonizing scream completely edited out. But I would have much preferred this novel's version to the on-screen version, as it simply made a lot more sense.
4.25 stars.

THIS is how you write a novelization!
I've read quite a few novelizations, all ranging from bad to great. The mark of a great novelization is how it enhances your viewing of the movie with new lines, moments, and scenes that aren't in the movie, but still took place. This book is full of those scenes, and yet has all of the wonderful moments from the movie.
This story is already an awesome story. I believe that Undiscovered Country is my second favorite Star Trek movie, but has the best overall plot and character development. This book takes that good plot and gives it not only depth but meaning.
We understand the context of several events happening such as the Klingon attacks on Kudao and Themis, which injure Doctor Carol Marcus, and further provide context for Kirk's present anger against the Klingons in the movie. This also provides very informative and special scenes featuring Gorkon, Azetbur, Chang and Kerla, which provide context into the Klingon way of life, the Klingon's reasoning for the peace talks, and explains the line of succession problem in the movie.
And the book does this all in 300 pages...normal size print. I tell you, J. M. Dillard has done something else with this book. It is simply stunning and impressive. It didn't need to be any longer or any shorter. It was precisely the right length.
Overall, this has become one of my favorite novelizations, ranking up there with "Rogue One"(which possibly edges it out). Nonetheless, wonderfully done. 9.8 out of 10! Great job Dillard!

Wow, this was a really good adaptation of the movie. Added some extra information, a few extra scenes. Was a rollicking good read.

I finally got this audiobook! Alas, it is like all the older ones is abridged, so allowing for that, I still liked it - hey, it's the movie, one of my top favorite Trek movie, nothing strangely new or changed from it, and I like James Doohan's narration. So while it would be so much better unabridged, since it's not, you can get better than everything above. :)
------
5/26/2021 - listened to the unabridged story, still like it; love this movie as is, but this still fills in a little to make it even more full. :)

May 27, 2019There’s some interesting depth added to the story that explores the apparent surge in Kirk’s animosity for Klingons, his relationship with Carol Marcus as well as the loss of David in Search for Spock. It also feels like much more of a continuation from Star Trek 5, where the movies felt more standalone.

I find it interesting that in the novelization (which is often based on the first version of the script), the Spock/Valeris mind-meld is very different; a gesture of gallantry instead of a brutal rape. I wonder who made the decision to change it in the film.

I loved the movie... So decided to read the book...
The book was very interesting as it fills out the gaps that was quite visible during the movie...
A must read for the fans of the Star Trek Original series...

'You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.'
As someone who has studied Shakespeare in the past, I somehow can agree with this.
I've mentioned this before, so I'll make it quick. I was never a Trekkie until recently. I fell in love with the Original Series and the six films (yes, even the fifth one). There's a lot of love in these stories, but most importantly, in the characters.
Upon learning there were novelizations of each of the six films, I immediately started looking for them. I was fortunate enough to find all six. Novelizations are usually a double-edged sword. Often, authors just copy the screenplay without exploring aspects that the movie didn't have enough time to cover. However, there are a few rare cases that offer a different experience from the actual film. Does that make them better? It shouldn't. In fact, they should complement the story by enhancing it.
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country isn't actually my favorite Star Trek film; it’s my fifth favorite — my ranking is controversial, but that’s a story for another review. However, I still had a great time with it, and the novelization enhanced the experience.
Author J.M. Dillard takes this wonderful story and expands upon it. One of my favorite additions is scenes with Carol Marcus and James T. Kirk. After "Wrath of Khan," Carol just disappears, without saying goodbye. Hell, she's not even mentioned in "Search for Spock," the one where she and Kirk's son, David, is killed by a "Klingon bastard." Thankfully, we get to see her again and learn what actually happened between her and Kirk after David's death. It was the closure I was seeking.
Dillard also follows the plot quite well, if I must add. Anyone who remembers the film will be able to follow along without feeling lost. This is about 300 pages, and Dillard makes it all work in the end with the incredible pacing. This could easily be finished in a day.
The plot is notable for its character development; every character has an arc and is well-developed. I particularly enjoyed reading about the Klingons, especially General Chang, who was brilliantly portrayed by Christopher Plummer in the movie. Like Khan, Chang is another villain who has a clear purpose, and he isn't revealed as the antagonist until much later in the story. I appreciate when narratives don’t disclose everything at once, especially at the beginning. I prefer it when events unfold gradually and take you by surprise when you least expect them.
I typically dislike action in novels because I'm a spoiled visual medium guy, but Dillard managed to make it quick and exciting. The script’s pacing carries over into the book — especially in the final act, which still feels rushed. I'm not certain if this was intentional, but it ultimately resolved itself in the end.
For the final story of the original Enterprise crew, this was a great sendoff. It makes the ending quite emotional because it marked the end of an era. As I mentioned earlier, every character gets to do something. One of my favorites is General Sulu. He has his own ship, which makes sense. He's a badass. I think Kirk had a strong influence on him, because he's rebellious like Kirk.
This novelization was not written by Vonda N. McIntyre; it was actually authored by J.M. Dillard. I'm not sure why the authorship was changed, but I found it interesting to explore different writing styles. Is Dillard's writing style better than McIntyre's? In my opinion, no one is better than anyone else; it usually comes down to personal taste. As I mentioned, I’m quite open-minded about this. Naturally, I enjoyed both of their writing styles.
While not my favorite Star Trek movie or novel, this is certainly one of the best novelizations written. In short, a great send-off and one final hoorah.
Side note, I also checked out the audiobook for this novelization. It was quite fun. Unlike IV & V, this was not read by George Takei and Leonard Nimoy; this was read by James Doohan, known for playing Montgomery "Scotty" Scott. Like Takei and Nimoy, Doohan's voice also screams narration. Having worked with the cast for years, he was able to portray them well.
Rating: 4/4 stars.

Review 49. Star Trek The Original Series Movies #6 The Undiscovered Country by J.M. Dillard
Page Count : 301
This is the 6th and final book of The Original Series movies and by far it is probably my favourite.
Giving an idea of how long has passed since we last saw the crew of the USS Enterprise, this book goes into detail about what the crew have been doing, what in some cases they have moved onto and what they are planning once their retirement begins.
Like all of the previous books, this one goes into massive detail about what sets the scene for the rest of this books story.
Going into detail about attacks by the Klingons on Federation planets, this book reveals so much more detail about the story and fills in the gaps about certain character motives and why their emotions run so high during the book.
I 100% recommend this book and will definitely be rereading it again in the future.

This was a quick read. It's approximately 90% the movie we all know and love - so, as I said, it goes quickly on that front. But I think the author adds backstory for Kirk, Valeris, the Klingons, and the wider story that - honestly - I didn't know was needed, but now reading it, I think it's quite important. I won't "spoil" it (even though, odds are, if you're reading this, you've seen the movie...), but the novel does ask, "Isn't it weird that Kirk and crew hate Klingons so much after being buddy-buddy with them at the end of Star Trek V?" Yes - that is, in fact, quite weird! So this book provides some events going on that add to the racism (species-ism?) of Starfleet officers in this story. So it's a definite recommend for any Trek fans.

TOS: the Undiscovered Country novelization by J.M Dillard
This was an excellent novelization of an already great movie. The only new stuff it really added was with Carol Marcus and some more details about the Organians and some Klingon attacks. Dillard did an excellent job capturing the spirit of the movie and its sense of fun and swashbuckling. Although, I prefer Vondas’s adaptions more as the stuff she added made the story feel richer. Chang wasn’t as an engaging villain as he was on screen. I know some stuff will be lost when it’s translated to the page, but it didn’t work as well for me. Just the way Vonda wrote the Voyage Home, I enjoyed it a lot more. But this was still fun either way.

This novelization does a lot that the movie was unable to do. It expands Kirk’s character and struggle with the plot as well as giving insight into what the other characters (Klingons included) are dealing with as well not just in a way to further and aid in Kirk’s own story. I think this novel aids in the making an already good movie more meaningful.
Also, there is a line at the end where Uhura says “I agreed with Valeris. That could have been me.” But in her internal monologue, she fully supported the peace treaty and understood Valeris and the conspirators view point, but never fully agreed with them. It was a strange thing I notice when I finished and will probably nag at me every time i think of it.

Whether this book was written before or after the script was finalized, I do not know. I felt this novelization reminded me of the Star Trek III one where the things that were not there in the film almost distracting. Carol Marcus's injuries and Kirk's reaction to that and elevating how he felt about the Klingons almost muddled his motivation and they probably figured his son's death was enough. Well whoever edited the film deserves a kudos from me as the film is one of my favorites from the original series and they tightened up a lot of the muddled dialogue I found here.

This has always been my favorite Star Trek movie so I saw this in the audible store and thought I'd give it a listen. Aside from the great narration by James Doohan (Scotty!) I must say this was nowhere near as good as I expected. So many story points crucial to the story were omitted. As a huge Star Trek fan from way back close to the beginning of the show I must say this could have and should have been done better! Makes me hesitate to even trust another audible Star Trek book in the future.

Awesome book
I have to say I loved this book!! The writing was fantastic, it was fun and exciting, and a little sad because it was the last adventure of the original crew of the USS Enterprise. If you are a Star Trek fan and haven't read this book, what are you waiting for!?!? Highly recommended!!

Fantastic story details that are missing from the film, dramatic, strategic, consuming details a s backstory that greatly enhances the film. The famous ‘forced’ mind meld is not forced at all, but one of the pivotal points in the novel. Even the end battle is much more dramatic and intriguing than what we get in the film.
November 28, 2018
Some good and bad, I guess I want so much more detail if the book was made from a movie, I want it to be like a Stephen King book with so much new background info that you know who Kirks elementary teacher was dating. This was still a good read.
January 21, 2021
Not the first time I've read this one. I kept getting flashbacks to the movie as much of the dialogue is identical. If you like the movie to be as close to the book as possible, this is for you. Be warned, it's still the Star Trek TOS silliness at about 70%.
January 30, 2021
I think this is my least favorite of the novelizations so far. I enjoyed all the detail, but the movie’s plot was a bit dull in novel form and some of the characters seemed a little too “90s action movie.”
I usually like Dillard’s books but I guess my criticism has more to do with the screenplay.

A very enjoyable read! The art of turning a movie into a novel is a difficult one, but the author does it well. And while of course I already knew the plot of the movie, it was nice to be able to see inside the minds of the characters.
June 2, 2024
The extra details were nice, but the overall writing was quite poor. There are too many repeated phrases and summaries of things that were already apparent to the reader.
I know it's a script issue as well, but towards the end, every mention of David Marcus' death resulted in an eye roll from me.

Ms Dillard does a fantastic job of papering over the cracks in the movie (Organians, anyone?) and adding depth to a story that is already compelling and exciting. Her prose does not sparkle quite like Vonda McIntyre’s in the novelisations of 2, 3 and 4 but she is a great writer.

Some don't want a peace treaty with the Klingons so they play deceptions and Kirk and McCoy are arrested for an attack on and deaths of Klingons.
Characters are realistic.
We meet Worf for the first time.

Loved hearing good ol Scotty reading me this book. The sound effects were on par and reminded me very much of the movie. Plus, Scotty does the voices for each character and it is AMAZING.
