Indistinguishable from Magic by David A. McIntee

Last year, I started reading the post-Nemesis books from the various series in order. I love how they are taking story threads and weaving them through different books - it really makes the different Star Trek series feel like one universe. This book, however, was a real letdown. To me, it read like a piece of fan fiction.
The author brings in several secondary characters, and some of them felt forced into the story based on the other continuing story lines in the post-Nemesis series. Additionally, unlike most A-plot, B-plot story lines, the two plots did not run concurrently; A-plot has a conclusion before the start of B-plot. Unfortunately, that made it feel like I was reading two disconnected stories that were forced under a single title.
I'm not sure if this author has any other post-Nemesis credits to his name, but if he does, I hope it's a better experience than this book was . . .
