A fast-paced slingshot ride with all the right grace notes.

First book in trilogy celebrating 50th anniversary of Star Trek. Set in the TOS timeframe. Overall it was pretty good. It ties into a past episode and builds upon from there making references of other things in Star Trek. Involves Number One from original pilot episode and the Star Trek group. Book is short compared to what I have been reading which is actually a good thing. Also, this was available and consumed via unabridged audible!

Full review, after a couple heavy books I just wanted a popcorn read. A fun ST novel. Got it.

Oh, yeah. Now I remember why I stopped reading professionally published TOS fiction. For every gem like Sarek or Doctor’s Orders, we get a dozen like this forgettable beginning to a trilogy I will never finish. I disliked the premise. If the fate of her crewmates was weighing on her so heavily, why did Una wait 18 years to attempt a rescue? I disliked the fact that three fourths of the book does not include any Enterprise regulars. I disliked the name Una, which brought to mind Unseen University’s Librarian ("Ook!") and an old tire commercial (Uni, Roy, and Al). I found the writing flat, the plot unengaging, and Una’s skills in a first contact situation lacking.
