A passable Star Trek book although it really didn't feel any bigger than a standard episode. The first half dragged rather and threatened to get buried in Vulcan philosophy, but the second half was a bit more lively. Several of the characters got a bit of a raw deal in terms of consistancy, T'Pol not least. Glad I only paid a quid for it and it only took a couple of hours to read, I wouldn't recommend it. ( )
