Before i commence my review, i would like to make a comment.
Other reviewers have criticised the book for having no evidence of character development. I would like to ask how this can be possible in, of all things, a Star Trek novel. The answer is, it isn't. If it were, then the characters would not be recognisable for the icons they are, and there would be absolutely no consistency from one star trek novel to the next. And those writers developing new ideas and new stories would find it almost impossible to keep doing so if it were. It is only in representing the Federation in a generic sense that Kirk, Spock et al can boldly go, where no one has gone before, and not the characters in their own right.
On with my review ...
Mr Cox has long been one of my favourite Star Trek writers. One of his earlier efforts - ASSIGNMENT ETERNITY - is considered by many to be a classic. Consequently i have been salivating in anticipation of this book's release.
The book opens with a diplomatic mission with Kirk and Commissioner Santiago to the planet Yusub, with the aim of promoting a path for potential membership of the Federation. Things soon go awry, with duplicity and betrayal by parties unknown, and Kirk's life is saved by - of all people - Seven Of Nine when she appears on the scene just in time. It takes a while for the book to explain to the reader how this was managed - four chapters to be precise - but the story telling contained within this part of the book is highly entertaining (in many ways) and full of memories for long term fans of both arms of the world famous science fiction franchise.
By the start of chapter five, the reader knows as much about what is going on as does Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Seven.
