Cast No Shadow by James Swallow
4.0
Much above the usual run of Trek fiction in my opinion. Fast paced interesting story which picks up other story lines, but makes them its own.
Lots of moral quandaries; peace, truth, reconciliation, forgiveness on a personal and interplanetary level- all just as relevant to life in our world today.
Spock and Sulu only appear in passing; Valeris was a traitorous Vulcan in the film Undiscovered country and a much older Elias Vaughan appears in the post series DS9 books, as far as I remember. I must admit to being intrigued by his character so it is fun to discover one of his early adventures.
The ending may be setting up Vaughan for more adventures?
