Summary: Not Worth the Time
Review: When I bought this book it was right after I read the Deep Space Nine Section 31 book. The Deep Space Nine book was a straight forward action story with good writing and good characters.This book was just boring. I have read tons of Trek books and most I can make it through with no problem. With this booK i found myself skipping pages, putting it down for days at a time and just plain groaning. One thing that bothered me was the authors need to constantly remind us that Lt. Hawk was gay... Mention is once and I'm fine, but this author seemed to like to bring it up all the time... The sub-plot about diplomatic tensions dealing with one planets application to Starfleet was interesting, but was intertwined too much with Section 31's lame (and somewhat stupid) plot to control this planets outcome. When Section 31 was introduced they were a subversive, intellegent organization that could manipulate anyone they pleased. In this book it seems that the agents are just dumb pawns trying to convice people to join them. Buy the book if you have read every other trek book out there. Otherwise leave this one alone.
