Descent

I've mixed feelings about this, for all the reasons that other reviews explain. But my biggest reaction is the Literary pretentiousness of this one. Oh well, at least I got a new vocabulary word. Oxer, which could be ": a hedge with a guardrail running along one side at a distance of two or three feet and often a ditch along the other side to prevent cattle from passing through it" or, I think Carey had in mind, "A type of horse jump with two rails that may be set even or uneven."

Onward!

Carey's voyage into the Next Generation, takes the reader beyond the original Teleplay and to a second part, which adds to the original story line.Not to spoil it for readers but the different are drawn together and some what meld together. But as always be careful of the Borg!!
This work is a old 1993 edition. So it has been out there for decades, still was a good read, for old Trekkies, it just one more novels of the Next Generation.
