Best Defense by David Mack

4.0

Best Defense is the third book in the Legacies Trilogy, which was a celebration of Star Trek's 50 years. The story began on the Enterprise under Captain Robert April. Now we are under the command of James T. Kirk. This chapter takes place during the Organian driven Peace Talks.

While the woman we know as Number One is in an alternate universe trying to save the shipmates she was forced to leave behind, Captain Kirk and the Enterprise are called to the site of the talks after the Klingon Ambassador disappears. Sarek is concerned that this will lead to the war they are trying to avoid.

The book jumps between several storylines: the Enterprise, the Peace Talks, a Romulan ship, and the hospital where Dr. McCoy's daughter is studying. It wasn't always easy to keep up with all these stories since I did this as an audio book, but the reader did an excellent job of separating out voices.
