Intense, wonderfully put together, interesting idea - to change rather than annihilate and to bring in just about every facet of the Star Trek genre (for genre is surely is). The only part not brought in was the original series, though Spock was mentioned - but then he's still alive and well in the 24th century. ( )

Well, this trilogy finished with a bang and the Star Trek universe will never be the same. This gives future books an almost clean slate to write with and freshen up Star Trek in the future.

Overall, I loved the trilogy and can recommend it highly to any Star Trek fan! ( )

An unstoppable fleet of Borg have begun their invasion. Entire worlds will perish. The entire Federation may be wiped out. Captain Hernadez has a risky plan. With their options limited, their only hope may hinge upon a race who has sworn to never interfere.

With events from the two previous books culminating to disastrous outcomes, Lost Souls wraps up open ended questions with an incredible revelation. With the situation as bad as it could possibly get, the four captains (Picard, Riker, Dax, and Hernadez) must team up together to discover a way to stop the Borg once and for all. With time running out for Earth and all of the worlds of the Federation, the suspense and intensity spikes.

This is by far the best book in the trilogy. Taking the reader through a wide range of emotions, Mack has wrapped up the Destiny trilogy in an amazing web of storylines that connect in an unpredictable way. Lost Souls has become one of my favorite Star Trek novels, with a shocking ending that will affect the entire Trek universe. Trek fans must read this fantastic trilogy. ( )

The last book of the epic Destiny trilogy is a bit of a letdown. Though more plot happens than in the second book, even less of it derives from our characters. Riker does nothing of value, Titan's away team sits around a lot, Picard undergoes the same crisis he has in all of the other recent Borg books, and Ezri Dax ostensibly saves the day, though really Captain Hernandez and the Caeliar do the heavy-lifting. That's not to say it doesn't have its good points: Mack is a master of tension and the immensity of the impending Borg onslaught is well-communicated, especially in the scenes with President Bacco and company on Earth. Certainly I always wanted to keep on reading. I had to know what happened next! Perhaps curiously, I think the best-rendered character in all of these books is Geordi La Forge. He gets the best scenes in this book and the last...
