(Just because I’m done with the shows doesn’t mean the Star Trek Project can’t march on!)
Book 3 of the Vanguard Series and now the shit is really starting to hit the fan.
All of the enigmas of the first two books are coming to light. The Tholians and their special relationship to the Godlike Shedai. The myriad Federation characters aboard and docking at Starbase 47 are (if they’ve survived) in place now for what looks like an ultimate showdown both within and without. (And if this isn’t all leading to the Genesis Device, I don’t know what is.)
There are a lot of characters here, including one of the best drawn Vulcans ever, T’Prinn. She suffers from Val’reth – a horrible living death, due to the invasive katra of her dead betrothed that she killed during koon-ut-kalif-ee.
I’m also very fond of the drunken space pirate Cervantes Quinn, and not just for all the easter egg Rush references that surround him.
