Racing against time to end time the surviving hero's move into the mirror universe to avoid Riker and whats left of the ships. As suns go out and star systems vanish they raise to stop the event which caused it all facing the Devidiens, borg, and their own limits and fears. A good wrap up to the trilogy and the books but as all multiverse plots it gets confusing at times. ( )

This concluding part of the trilogy to wrap up the last couple of decades of Trek’s literary continuity is in some ways both the weakest and strongest of the three.

Weakest in that it’s a victim of its own scope. When you are telling the story of the fate of a universe and pulling together so many plot lines it naturally becomes sprawling. As a result there’s an over-reliance on techno-babble and timeline gymnastics that at times made my head spin.

Strongest in that it carried the most emotional impact around the fates of certain characters.

The two-page “Grace Notes” conclusion was a surprising and effective way to bridge the legacy of the Trek novels to the developing on-screen continuity of the new TV shows. ( )
