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.… (more)

Ironically, I read this just before seeing Star Trek: Generations. "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. ( )

In this inventive Star Trek novel, the Enterprise crew attempts to find out why a series of interstellar gates across the galaxy, left by a long-vanished race, are suddenly breaking down, threatening the physical structure of the galaxy as it happens. Good basic science fiction, not much more. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
In appreciation of Esther Ansfield.

Like Commander Ansfield did when she popped up unexpectedly on my computer
screen, she pretty much takes charge of whatever situation she finds herself in --
despite any insecurities she may feel.

Book description
    THE DEVILIN, SHIELDS RAISED, PUT ITSELF DIRECTLY IN THE ENTERPRISE'S PATH ...

"Damn it, Kirk! Captain Sherboune shouted, :I don't want to fire on you, but I will! Believe me, I will!"

"I believe you, Captain," Kirk replied."That's why we have our deflectors at maximum strength."

"Spock!" Shelbourne called. "Certainly you can't be going along with this insanity! It just isn't logical to risk everything ---"

"But it is quite logical, Captain Sherbourne," Spock said. "Based on what we have experienced - what Captain Kirk has told and shown you - it would be illogical for us to do otherwise. We are the only chance the Federation has for survival."

The Devlin's helmsman spoke, "All systems locked on, Captain. Ready to fire on your command."

"I'm warning you, Kirk," Sherbourne said, shaking his head angrily. "I'm warming everyone who can hear me on the Enterprise -- "

Suddenly, there was a scream from the Devlin.

"Full impulse power, now!" Spock ordered, and the Enterprise surged ahead.
