"Nexuses" are envisioned as something very different here, but I liked it. The vision of a many-thousands-of-years-old multiverse was sweeping in a way that Star Trek isn't always, and I enjoyed the way that the difficulties of communicating across truly different nonhumanoid being types was treated. Solid, is what I'd say, especially in its ideas, though not particularly striking in characterizations. I quite liked this one and think others, even casual fans, would, too.?á Everyone's a bit too heroic, but actually isn't that part of the fun??á Some interesting ideas about war, ambition, intelligence, logic vs. intuition, linear thought vs. pattern-finding. Reading Chain of Attack is def. not necessary. no reviews | add a review

Uncounted centuries ago, an unknown race from beyond our galaxy created a series of interstellar gates -- shortcuts across our universe -- and then disappeared, leaving behind no clues to their fate, or the operation of their system. Twice before, the Enterprise has used the system to traverse the galaxy, and returned each time no wiser to the gates' operation. Now it is imperative that they find out. For the gates are breaking down, taking the very stars in the sky with them. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of the Enterprise crew, and their ability to communicate not only with creatures from another world -- but from another universe as well.
