This was a great end to this trilogy and a good re-start for my star trek reading. I don't know how to review this book without spoilers, so be warned. Two things I loved about this book. It was a Star Trek Universe book. Riker and Ezri both played important parts in solving this crisis. Picard actually wasn't the Grand Savior of Starfleet, it was Ezri and Riker who made the crucial decisions and Picard who stood a bit in the way. Second, it was the origin of the Borg. We finally know where they came from, and it was logical and satisfying.
I hope Ezri gets her own series. I'd follow the adventures of the Aventine.
Next up the Typhon Pact.

A surprising well written book and with a surprising well done story that actually makes sense and does not pull out stuff from a magic hat to fit its purpose.

Loved this trilogy, real page-turners with some great sci-fi concepts. I think it would be entertaining even to a non-Trekkie.

Cukup lama juga saya menyelesaikan buku ini. Terus terang butuh perjuangan berat menghabiskan buku ini karena saya cukup gak tahan dengan serangan Borg ke wilayah Federasi.
Buku ini merupakannpamungkas dari trilogi Star Trek Destiny karya David Mack. Sebagai pamungkas, saya cukup puas. Akhirnya saya mengetahui bagaimana asal muasal Borg. Cukup mengagetkan juga ketika membacanya.
Satu hal yang saya pelajari dari buku ini, perang membuat kita mengeluarkan sisi terbaik dan terburuk seseorang. Ketika kemampuan kita diuji dalam perang, orang melihat sisi terbaik kita. Bukan berarti bahwa sisi terburuk kita tidak tersentuh. Justru ketika ingin menunjukkan sisi terbaik kita, kadang harus menunjukkan sisi terburuk kita. Pertanyaannya, apakah kita siap menyerah pada sisi terburuk kita itu? Pertanyaan ini yang akhirnya berhasil dijawab oleh Picard, Riker dan Ezri Dax, para kapten di cerita ini.

The end of the Federation as we know it. While the three captains, Picard, Dax and Riker try to find a way to save the Federation from the onslaught that 7000 Borg cubes are about to unleash, a fourth story takes us in a different part of the galaxy, some 6000 years ago where we will find the answer to the question "Who are the Borg and how did they come to be?". It is a tale of survival against all odds, but above all else it's a tale of hunger, solitude, frustration, desire, longing to reunite.
The scenes depicting the assault of the Borg probe by the joint security teams of the three starships is incredibly well written. Fast paced, morally challenging and a great recreation of what it means to fight the Borg.
In the end, Captain Erika Hernandez proves instrumental in the transformation of the Borg Collective mind into something completely benign, thus ending decades of war with the Federation and thousands of years of enslavement for all the species in the Galaxy that fell under the Borg boot.
Even if the Federation managed to survive its eleventh hour, losing 60 billion people will surely change it. Meanwhile, the voyages of starship Titan continue. Its mission: to seek out new worlds and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has ever gone before.
This trilogy is an amazing work that I highly recommend to anyone who at least enjoyed the tv series and the movies. Great story, amazing characters, nice twists and many space battles! Do yourself a favour and read these books!

Wow. What a great conclusion to the trilogy. The shit that goes down in this book is on a far larger scope than the Dominion War or the battle at Wolf 359. Lovely story, lovely ending.

This was a terrific end to this trilogy. It gave a clear ending and an interesting origin story.

I didn't think a random Star Trek novel series would end up being one of my favourite Scifi series. But here we are.
That was truly exceptional and I'd recommend to any Trek fans, or those who are Trek-Curious.

This was a great ending to the trilogy. Lots of action and suspense. This book explains where and how the Borg came into existence. Good stuff. Easily the best of David Mack I've read. Also, I appreciate Simon & Schuster's 99 cents promotion. Without it I would have never discovered this wonderful trilogy.
