So jumping into this trilogy in the middle was probably a bad idea. But weirdly, I still enjoyed this? It was a very confusing read, but the story swept me up, and I know I wanted to know what happened before and next.
mattpoll's review
So I'm giving the same review to all the books in this part of the "Shatnerverse"
I basically enjoyed them, being fans of his co-authors, Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Judith Reeves-Stevens.
The stories were better than average, and the author / editor team, knew their ST history, touching just about every branch established so far in the "Prime" timeline. I don't remember if there were any Archer era references.
It was pleasant, it was entertaining, it did the job. The books mostly moved along, would have been perfect vacation reads, entertaining, fairly mindless, and some fun moments.
What did tick me off was the uneven copy-editing. I got these books as part of a $.99 special from the publisher. I love offers like this since it lets me fill in my collection, and reduce my reliance on paper books, but I digress. The books have been available for years, they undoubtedly came from an electronic catalog, so why are there spelling and spacing errors???? I can get over (barely) the lack of spaces / indicators for scene shifts, but spelling errors are a HUGE issue with me, and I hope it's taken care of.
But definitely worth the sale price :)
