An excellent Star Trek novel which reprises the guest crew of Lt. Cmdr. Piper and Sarda, her Vulcan first officer and best friend as they help Kirk and crew fight off an attempt to steal the new transwarp propulsion system. Piper and her crew are an original bunch of roguish heroes, the action and strategy are fine, and the relationship between yet another human commander and Vulcan "thyla" is intriguing and well-handled.
*grins*
Tactical, and not centered on the usual suspects. Has tactical issues, but not terribly distracting ones.

Not a Star Trek book, but a Piper adventure. And a mess.

Their union proved to me that ca... (show all)ptains really do exist who feel the same intensity toward their ships that James Kirk feels toward the Enterprise. - First words
