Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-28 00:00:00 Janet Kusch I hate it when Star Trek gets preachy. This is one of those books that shows no thought to cosmology, biology or any reasonable likelihood of occurrence. I took it as a lecture to the United States on its immigration policies. If the destruction that occurred in the previous ST stories had happened, there would be drastically different things happening. We are talking about well traveled worlds, not the frontier. There would be hundreds of commercial ships running around the star systems. System based law enforcement/search and rescue ships would be in Pacifica and Alpha Centauri systems. space habitats, mining facilities, orbital shipyards would be as plenteous. Only in the DESTROYED systems would the orbital infrastructure have been destroyed! If a homeworld were destroyed, refugee ships would make for a colony world of their own species first. It makes sense. Biological needs such as medical attention would be better served by doctors familiar with one's own species than in a multispecies hospital. Think about the species in My Enemy My ally. No human could realistically live on those high gravity worlds that provided the crew of the Inaeu. Scientists say that there are ten's of thousands of Earth-like planets in the galaxy, supposedly. The overflow would be sent to a myriad of undercolonized worlds. They would attempt to use the Genesis Wave to recreate destroyed worlds. There should be thousands of civilian ships involved as well as planetary defense forces like we say in The Best of Both Worlds Part 2. This could have been a lot better if the edutors at Pocket tried for a touch more realism.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-02-20 00:00:00 Barbara Smith It's not quite as intense as it wants to be, and it's too busy being a pilot episode for the post-Destiny/Borg-free continuity, but it does manage to successfully launch nearly 10 years of new books that kept Trek fans very happy. It certainly sets the stage for the "Typhon Pact" series that follows, and even though this continuity has been set aside in the post-"Picard" universe, it was very worthwhile while it lasted.
