Not my usual read, but as I’m knee deep in Star Trek at the moment this clicked all the right buttons in my brain.
Was it well written? Meh. Was the storyline good? It felt like an episode of TOS tbh.
Seen other people say the characterisation was bad, but apart from the painful way they attempted to write Scotty’s accent, I thought it worked

A very short, quick Star Trek novel. It does feel true to the original characters and also offers some in depth scenes from Spock and McCoy's personal lives prior to being on the Enterprise which are interesting and well written. The plot itself is a bit intriguing but it does seem to be over very quickly and easily. It's difficult to write very powerful beings with telepathic abilities that doesn't feel like a deus ex machina at the end.
I think overall it's a very enjoyable read for fans of Star Trek TOS.
