Your review	If little happened in the first book of this trilogy, even less happened here. There's some decent (if occasionally heavy-handed) character work, but on the other hand, the Titan plotline goes nowhere, and Enterprise-E/Aventine one is ultimately pointless, livened up by an irrelevant fight sequence at the novel's very end. As usual, the strongest part of the novel are the flashback sequences-- the fates of Captain Hernandez and her fellow Columbia crewmates are very well done and quite chilling. The cameos by Nan Bacco and her supporting characters from Articles of the Federation are also quite welcome. What is done well in all of these books, however, is the overwhelming sense of menace and doom-- you can't help racing through to find out what happens next. Mack has always known how to construct a compelling narrative.
