I'm probably overthinking this YA Star Trek novel, but it doesn't make sense to do these academy stories with Data. They act as if he's just another teenager when in fact he'd look like the full grown man he appears to be in the series. Also the illustrations are soooooo bad.
While this wasn't a great representation of The Next Generation, we point to some that are in a special Trek themed episode of the All the Books Show: https://soundcloud.com/allthebooks/episode-230-picard-and-the-next-generation

Another fun read from MJF. One of the best Trek writers out there!
I was fairly obsessed with Data when I was a kid. This is an entertaining adventure story for him. It’s good for the target audience of adolescents. Also, what an awesome title!
These are the books of my very early childhood, oh, the love and hope and warmth and adventure these gave me as a kid.

again, solid, but not quite on the same level as the first four.
Why is it that book Trek is only trek-ish in the YA books? Instead of the always dark, often conspiracy-driven adult novels, this here is a little low stakes, just like most better episodes before DS9 and the darker period came along. It's more about interpersonal relationships and how some people struggle to be as evolved as Trek wants to picture humans.
Also, Data is once again a very good example of how it feels to be neurodiverse.
I wish there had been more novels like the academy series (just maybe a little longer). Trek at it's best.
