I have a hard time assessing this book because I'm currently in the midst of watching Deep Space Nine and enjoying the ways that Klingons are characterized there. I don't know how I would feel about it otherwise. The Kreel I can confirm that I don't love: they are excruciatingly one dimensional, and I just don't believe that everybody would see a single alien race in exactly the same way. Or if they do, it seems like it ought to (in Trek fashion) be a way to teach us a ~lesson~ about how that which seems foulest can be fairest, right? And part of this story seemed to be going down that path - there's an "elven" character who initially seems great and then turns out to be awful - but it didn't, and I'm not sure whether it would have been too cliche if it had, or if it ought to have... ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Reading this proves that Peter David has improved tremedously as a writer in the past 15 years. He's my favorite Star Trek writer (along with Diane Duane), but in this one there was little to set him apart from the rest of them. I'd say "nothing," but even in this early work you see traces of the humor that permeates even the darkest of his works. The title has very little to do with the story. no reviews | add a review
Deep in the uncharted regions of our galaxy, the Kreel, a primitive, warlike race have stumbled upon weapons powerful beyond their wildest imagination. The Kreel have used those weapons to attack their most bitter enemies, the Klingons. Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the "U.S.S. EnterpriseTM are called in to mediate the dispute by ferrying diplomatic teams from the two warring races to the source of their conflict, the mysterious planet where the weapons were discovered in an attempt to find a peaceful solution to the conflict, and discover the origins of the super-powerful weapons.
