Review : |
If not for the repeated statements from Dr. Crusher about the victims of this tale, this might have gotten a five of five. The story is slow in places, but the author keeps cannon in place, introduces some new faces that we care about, keeps the suspense up, keeps continuity with her own works (the Romulan spy's tale of the colony ships being the key piece I refer to), and has an ending that is both credible and shocking. Not for everyone, but if you like mysterious ancient ships/beings and an author that is not affraid to use a bit of humor, this is a must-read. Especially for Diane Duane fans. |
