The Con Job

This was a great, fun romp which perfectly matched the tone of the show.
I knocked a star off, however, due to a single joke being repeated like, four times, about both Cha0s and Wil Wheaton being at the con.
It was funny the first time.
But it got old.

3.5 Stars. On par with an average Star Trek novel, not great, but still decent.

Wow, it's so easy to read men like [a:Lee Goldberg 67202 Lee Goldberg http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1337459962p2/67202.jpg] and think that all tie-in novels are really good, this is one of those books that serves as a cold dose of reality. This was sloppy, lazy, heavy-handed and overly-reliant on inside jokes and name dropping. Most of those revolved around Wil Wheaton – and, yes, were amusing. But there were just so, so many of them it became annoying, I started calling this book “Leverage: Forbeck Less-Than-Threes Wheaton.” I'll be back for the next book, because I was such a fan of the series and these characters, not because of this book – just thankful it's a different author.
