Summary: I agree with the reader from new albany
Review: What else can I say but `WOW. Peter David has amazed me again-not just with a truly wonderful story, but also with the grace and flair of a true master of his craft. Who else can have Professor X questioning is abilities working with Starfleet cadets. (Want to see how that work, pick up the book and start reading.)In this novel, we get to follow the mystery of started in the previous book and remember along with Calhoun his adventures at the Academy and the first few years with his wife-to-be Shelby. Take the time, enjoy this book.

Summary: An Unfortunate Trend
Review: While I did enjoy this book quite a bit, as I always do enjoy Peter David stories, I do have one complaint. There is an unfotunate trend appearing the last few years, in not only Star Trek, but the sci-fi genre as a whole. Multi-book stories are a great source of enjoyment. The trend of making the important and final books Hardcover! Most of the time , the story length doesn't even warrant it. There is one important reason for this...Greed! Greed by the publisher, who knows if you read books 1-3 you will shell out major coin to see how the story ends. And they say that greed doesnt exist in the Star Trek universe...well they never got conned into unnecessary , overpriced books.

Summary: Both thought provoking and hilarious...
Review: While I was somewhat concerned over the 'flashback' chapter layout--switching back and forth between present day and Calhoun's first days at the Academy--that concern was apparently unwarranted. In addition to providing some insight into Calhoun's character--through his progression at the Academy, as well as his...unusual...approach to the classic Kobayashi Maru scenario--the novel contains more than its share of humor and suspense. It's been a while since I've laughed out loud at anything Trek; to be honest, I had been planning to read about half tonight and continue tomorrow, but stayed up till 2.30am to finish the book! I will confess that, if you haven't kept up with previous New Frontier stories, there may be a few references that go over your head, but otherwise this is a five-star read. Any chance Mr. David can lend his talents to Star Trek: Enterprise?
