Things Fall Apart by Dayton Ward

3.0

As a Star Trek novel, this book was not written poorly, nor did it characterize anyone badly. However, nor did it offer any particular insights into James T. Kirk, or any other character, for that matter. It reminded me a bit of The Next Generation episode "First Contact," in which the Enterprise crew initiate first contact with an alien world which has just developed a functioning warp engine; however, in this short novel, the stakes are upped by a 'rogue pulsar' which threatens to wipe life out on that alien planet.

Essentially: a very light, easy read.
