PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The bestselling Star Trek juggernaut rolls on with the 10th hardcover based on the phenomenally popular TV series and its spinoffs, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine . The events in this newest adventure follow those of the latest Star Trek film and focus on Dr. Leonard McCoy, curmudgeonly chief medical officer of the starship Enterprise . McCoy and his longtime comrades (Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock et al.) abandon their imminent retirement for one final mission: to pacify the planet Ssan, terrorized by an outlaw guild trying to revive an ancient tradition of assassination. McCoy, who was traumatized by his experiences on Ssan during its last civil war, finds other old wounds reopened when a civilian diplomatic team assigned to the mission turns out to include his now-remarried ex-wife. Contending with wrenching memories of their painful breakup as well as with bloodthirsty killers, he and his friends struggle to save yet another world. Friedman ( Reunion ) knows his Star Trek trivia and has an excellent grasp of the much-beloved characters. Though the plot is fairly predictable and occasionally a bit talky, fans will devour the smorgasbord of information about McCoy.

Quintessential Star Trek
This is a story that slowly reveals its secrets. The central concept of a race so long dead even their legends are forgotten is intriguing; coupled with a later race that stumbled upon them. The guest characters are interesting, if somewhat of a plot contrivance at times. I found it a thoroughly enjoyable read; one that I return to every so often.
