Excellent

This is a very good Star Trek book. I like how it picks up event after the Borg attacks. And introduces a new threat to the Federation.

I don't believe it, but I LOVED THIS BOOk

I started to read this book and was a little put off that there was no Picard, no Enterprise, no Riker, but as I continued I really stated to become engrossed in the Trek Universe as I had not seen it before. I began to like the Sonek Pran character, I could feel the despair and sadness that the characters felt from their tragic losses. From the Mining Colony on Capella to the Zaldan incident to Donatra to the murder mystery I became more and more interested in the characters and in the Trek Universe in which they existed. It the only crews that get time are an SCE crew and the Aventine crew under Captain Dax! Not your run of the mill Star Trek book, but well worth your time!

A must read after the depressing Destiny series

I am a fan of Keith R.A. DeCandido. I was not sure if I even wanted to read another Star Trek book after the Destiny series. It was so dark and depressing as have been the latest Star Trek books. But since it was DeCandido I gave it shot. It was very well written. I loved the new characters and humor. It gives you the scope of the damage left behind by the Borg. The political changes, the list of the dead, and the overall "new" beginning for the Federation and its allies. Not alot of "action" but a must read.

excellent but too far flung

After reading the first three novels with great excitement I waited for the final novel with great anticipation. I was not expecting action but more intrigue based on the previews. The most satisifying part of the book was like another reviewer the conclusion where they covered the political ramifications of the (spoiler alert) typhon pact. One thing that many people may have missed was the question asked in the press conference but about whether or not Martok would go to war to avenge his son's death. When I first read the book I did not pay attention to the special sections between the chapters that foreshadowed events in the book and set up future plot possibilities such as the reporting the death of a character's spouse, corps of engineer report on borg technology, and various reports on the borg invasion. One other thing to pay attention to but I won't point it out is the casualty list from one of the starbases. I believe there are two names you need to pay attention to. Overall a excellent book that left more questions asked then answered.

Following the Destiny Trilogy

Star Trek: A Singular Destiny follows the fallout from the events in the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy. The devastation from the Borg attacks encompasses the entire Federation and its allies. And as the Federation and Klingon Empire are stretched to their limits with refugee aide efforts, some are joining forces to take advantage. Professor Sonek Pran is asked to become an attaché for the Federation President, after years of being ignored. While on assignment aboard the Aventine, Pran begins to unravel a plot of sabotage and subterfuge that could mean disaster for the Federation. While a vast majority of the novel is political dealings and conversations, A Singular Destiny is extremely fascinating. And while there isn't a lot of action, the story is never slow. Sonek Pran is an absorbing character, with a diverse background. As the central character in the story, he is the one to discover the great mystery and is integral in several negotiations. He is complex and is by far the most enjoyable new character to the Trek universe that I've read in a while. Be sure to have read the Destiny trilogy before picking this one up. But make to pick this one up as well, since A Singular Destiny will be paving the way for big things to come in the Star Trek universe. I, for one, am extremely excited to see where it leads.
