Simply the best

I've read over 100 star trek books and this is my favorite, or at list one of them The story is surprising, the descriptions of local life are very well writen, you can feel you are there.

A great Star Trek adventure!

Vornholt does an excellent job of holding the reader's attention. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! If you want an action packed adventure, this is it!

An adventure for Kirk, Spock and McCoy.

What is you were trapped on a planet, with no hope of ever getting off. You'd make yourself comfortable, right? I mean the planet does have all the food you can eat, a house will be built for you and everything else is free. So wouldn't you want to stay? Well not Kirk, Spock and McCoy who accidently got caught on Sanctuary while chasing a pirate. They try to get off, for good reason. The people of the planet, round up all the men and turn them into hard working unisex beings. Yet, any ship with engine power that goes into the sky gets disenigrated by the sheild. So how do they get off? Read their amazing adventure. I do wish that there was deeper character development, since Kirk, Spock and McCoy spent so much time together, but this is still good.
