good solid, trek read

I really liked this book. Alot is going on on many fronts and sometimes the story can get away from the author and the reader and a good idea can just turn into a bad read. Everything was handled nicely in this book. An alien invasion, a planet begging the federation for help, the enterprise taken captive. It all sounds rather busy but the author does a great job of keeping the reader interested and not going too far with things. The ending seemed a little 'neat' (kind of like the tight little solution of your average brady bunch episode..lol), but I think the book was executed well. Dvorkin obviously knows these classic trek characters which is always important when delving into a trek book. Good stuff.

Pretty good, actually.

A relatively shallow story, action-driven and (mostly) not overly introspective -- which is good, because when it tries to be thoughtful, as at the end, it fails utterly -- still, it is well-crafted, interweaving multiple subplots well and keeping track of a fairly complex plot, it handles established characters well and shows good understanding of the personalities on the Enterprise, as well as the attitudes that one might expect from a Klingon or Romulan ship captain. The plot is not completely implausible in a Star Trek universe, and the action moves nicely. All in all, a good quick light read.
