sidetracked's review against another edition
4.0
A very gripping story of diplomacy coupled with some good old cloak and dagger... and all of it in the Star Trek universe of the Khitomer Accords and the Typhon Pact.
Even though it seemed very similar to the Cuban missile crisis, it didn't really matter as it was masterfully portrayed in this scifi setting.

Not sure how I feel about how the main problem was resolved/solved. Besides that I really enjoyed the book, and had good tension through out the book. The ending kept it from being an amazing book like [b:Zero Sum Game|9582854|Zero Sum Game (Star Trek Typhon Pack, #1)|David Mack|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1335335457s/9582854.jpg|14469789] but up until then was pretty good. I am not saying the ending sucked, just that it did not live up to what the rest of the book gave in terms of enjoyment.

Not a lengthy review or anything, but I'll say this: I need to see the Federation turning back into the shining example it used to be, and soon. Don't get me wrong, it's compelling to read the Federation coming back from a place of near desperation - but I'm ready for that trip to be underway. I'm really getting frustrated with the darker trek this has become. Yes, there were moments in the shows that were dark, but the overall tone was more triumphant than this Typhon Pact plot.
