Present Tense by L.A. Graf

adventurous medium-paced

3.0

Set directly after “The Naked Now”, the Enterprise decides to use their extra three days to do a low-stakes check on an away team on a boring planet. Suddenly, everything goes wrong! The first book in a trilogy, so nothing gets wrapped up here, but it’s the usual Trek adventures. Some extra points for having cave exploration scenes that were claustrophobic enough to wig me out a little. 

Weirdly, the summary blurb on the back of the book (and thus, on this site) is entirely unrelated to the actual plot.

The characters are good, but so much of the book is trying to survive in a cave system. Man vs. nature plots are much less compelling when the medical and technology levels are very high, and you already know a lot of the characters will survive.
