This felt like an unfortunate step down from the first issue in the series. Aside from feeling wholly too short, this entry in the 4-part series was not nearly as epic. I did not get to know Sam Redbay as well as he deserved and the length of the novel meant that the Furies themselves got a pitiful amount of stage time when compared to the first installment.
I think 3 stars is generous here and the relatively exciting battle sequences push it there but otherwise I'm thinking 2.5ish.

Tng isn't my favourite star trek series by far. I feel like this book captured the feeling of tng very well as did the original series one. However that is why I didn't much like this book and loved the last one. I am very much looking forward to the next one!

Really enjoyed this one - gripping and engrossing, a great story with the Furies. Ending was slightly predictable - doing a classic Star Trek in which you meet some random new character to make the sacrifice to save the day. But that made it feel more Trek.

I didn't hate this series, but it wasn't one of my favorites, either. I think they tried to answer too many questions of history at once, some of which already had answers in the ST universe. They just didn't achieve what was needed for the lofty scope they were trying to capture.

100 years ago, a mysterious alien race known as the Furies, attempted to regain control of the Alpha Quadrant that they claim they were exiled from thousands of years ago. The Federation were able to repel the invasion neutralising the alien threat. However, the Furies are back! Although their ships and armoury are more advanced than before, their main weapon is the ability to project fear into the minds of their enemies. The crew of the USS Enterprise must conquer their innermost fears and darkest terrors that have been conjured up in their unconscious minds.
It’s a good story. Not great, but worth reading if you’ve read the first instalment.
