Star Trek fans often talk about the insidiousness of the Federation in its jovial colonialism, which is all well and good, but colonialism takes many forms and the way in which this book builds out an argument for that insidiousness through ecological disaster is honestly one of the better ideas for a critique of Trek.

BOTTOM-LINE:
All abour renewal and cycles
.
PLOT OR PREMISE:
This is the third in a Star Trek trilogy, with nanites, sentient Borg, and Vulcan terrorists.
.
WHAT I LIKED:
The portrayal of the TNG crew is a little better in this book, perhaps reflecting the better portrayals seen in the TNG movies. It links Kirk, Spock, Picard, and the entire history of the various Enterprises together with Sarek.
.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
n/a

Fun as usual, and some great Kirk & Spock interractions (because Shatner tends to know how to do this right)... but ooooh, the ego (yup, it's still there).

Kind of a strange tale to weave Kirk into...planets dying of some weird plant plague?

A wonderful follow up to "Return". I love Spock in this book especially. Kirk is all well and good but Spock's struggle with his failure to his father, Spock's decision to go in this human side only. The relationship between Kirk and Spock that becomes all the more powerful. It's fantastic.
