An all-new novel based upon the explosive Star Trek TV series A shattered ship, a divided crew--trapped in the infernal nightmare of conflict Hearing of the outbreak of hostilities between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, Captain Christopher Pike attempts to bring the USS Enterprise home to join in the fight. But in the hellish nebula known as the Pergamum, the stalwart commander instead finds an epic battle of his own, pitting ancient enemies against one another--with not just the Enterprise, but her crew as the spoils of war. Lost and out of contact with Earth for an entire year, Pike and his trusted first officer, Number One, struggle to find and reunite the ship's crew--all while Science Officer Spock confronts a mystery that puts even his exceptional skills to the test...with more than their own survival possibly riding on the outcome...
It doesn’t take long for the action to start, and when it does it hooks you in entirely. The stakes are immediately high and thrilling. The overall story is fascinating and unique. Spock and Pike are written well, Connelly is very different than the one seen in the show.
Speaking of—I really like this book, perhaps in part because it has almost nothing to do with the show, Discovery lol.
Another aspect I appreciated is how long a timeframe book takes place in. If you bingewatch a Star Trek show a starship seems like a busy place to be, with something always happening. In the book, you see what it is more likely to be, waiting around for things to happen while research takes place
Overall a great read
