The omnibus edition of the epic crossover trilogy uniting characters from every corner of the Star Trek universe and revealing the shocking origin and final fate of the Federation's most dangerous enemy--the Borg. THREE THRILLING STAR TREK NOVELS IN ONE VOLUME! Half a decade after the Dominion War and more than a year after the rise and fall of Praetor Shinzon, the galaxy's greatest scourge, the Borg, returns to wreak havoc upon the Federation--and this time, its goal is nothing less than total annihilation. Elsewhere, deep in the Gamma Quadrant, an ancient mystery is solved. One of Earth's first generation of starships, lost for centuries, has been found dead and empty on a desolate planet. But its discovery so far from home has raised disturbing questions, and the answers harken back to a struggle for survival that once tested a captain and her crew to the limits of their humanity. From that terrifying flashpoint begins an apocalyptic odyssey that will reach across time and space to reveal the past, define the future, and show three captains that some destinies are inescapable. For Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise, defending the future has never been so important, or so personal--and the wrong choice will cost him everything for which he has struggled and suffered. For Captain William Riker of the U.S.S. Titan, that choice has already been made--haunted by the memories of those he was forced to leave behind, he must jeopardize all that he has left in a desperate bid to save the Federation. And for Captain Ezri Dax of the U.S.S. Aventine, whose impetuous youth is balanced by the wisdom of many lifetimes, the choice is a simple one: there is no going back--only forward to whatever future awaits them. . . . CONTAINS THE COMPLETE AND CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DESTINY TRILOGY GODS OF NIGHT MERE MORTALS LOST SOULS… (more)

Well holy crap. I expected it'd take some serious deus ex machina to solve the Borg threat and I was right. But it was very well done. Very glad to see the Borg finally dealt with. After the end of the Voyager TV series it was unclear just how badly they'd been damaged. But it always seemed like they were still out there. No more. The origin story for the Borg was nice. When the Caeliar proposed 'merging' with the surviving Columbia crew I wondered if that the Borg would be the result. Really cool how it all went full circle.

As with the other books, I enjoyed that he brought back characters that were previously guests on the series, like Melora Pazlar and Simon Tarsis.

The only criticisms I feel I can level is that the Voyager and its crew was done a disservice. I was surprised in the previous books to see that the ship was still in service and not a museum. I was surprised, pleasantly, to see that Chakotay and Paris ran the ship. I expected it to be featured a bit more, but then it gets absolutely wrecked and pretty much forgotten about. When the Enterprise, Titan and Aventine meet up, they help each other repair. They know the Voyager is out there - its mentioned before, but no one goes to help them....

Also, David Mack WRECKED the Federation, Klingon Empire, Romulans. So many known worlds absolutely destroyed. How do you follow that act? I guess I'll find out!

Took me about 2 and a half weeks to get through the 810 combined pages of all 3 books. That's pretty fast for me. I had a hard time putting the book down. ( )

Good read that begins to really slow down and less cohesive by book two. The scale and breadth of the events of book 3 could be a trilogy unto it's self and thus many things are overlooked and make less of an impact than expected. ( )
