This is a great book for Star Trek fans.
It's fast paced and kept me wanting to read juts one more chapter.
While it does not revolve entirely around the Kobayashi Maru (as in, the test), it does give you a further understanding as to why this is the situation used to test star fleet captains.

For a book that's largely set up? Man that was fun.

I really loved this book. Unfortunately, it was the last book on my list. I kept reading other books, but would pick this up and put it down with a few pages to a chapter read.
I enjoyed the story, the complicated beginning of the Romulan War buildup. Tellecapture System and poor Commander Tucker behind enemy lines as a Romulan engineer...trying to stop the Romulans from getting the first Warp Seven capable Star Drive.
Nothing seems to go right for the New Coalition of planets. Secrets, lies and mistakes.
Vulcans apparently know how to lie VERY well. T'Pol and Reed try to rescue Tucker, but he refuses to give up is failing mission.
Also, distrust on the bridge of the Enterprise.
And now, they have just declaired War.

All the action happens in the last 180 pages, making the first 300 filler.
Some good stuff, but it's also filled with cringe-worthy moments (like Reed ogling T'Pol's bum - when he was drunk in Shuttlepod One, it was funny. Here, it's just creepy and wildly inappropriate).
A lot of loose ends, which should be answered in the next book.
