The forth in the series, this was my favorite installment of the series (though I have not read the sixth, Challenger). As a holder of a BS in physics, the techno-babble not only provided the plot, but it was plausible enough for me to buy into. Space battles, classic character situations and developments, and Kirk's charm all fill out a well-executed plot with enough techno-babble to satisfy any who frequent the ships and technology pages here. |

What started out as a decent plot was fatally let down by mistakes by the authors. Characterizations were mediocre, and the 'treknology' was feeble - the Oltion's obviously didn't feel the need to look up even the basics of stellar distances. As a stand-alone novel this would score much higher, but as part of the New Earth series it falls flat. |
