I feel like I missed out a bit on the first third of the book as my reading time kept getting interrupted. Stopping and starting an audiobook isn’t the same as a physical book, although keep continuity can be challenging in print as well. Rather than restart the book I decided to keep plugging along and eventually I was able to get into the story.
The first part is fairly fuzzy the second half is what really stood out for me. Much of that takes place at the peace talks between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Sarek has a pretty big role in this book and I find myself wanting to know more about Spock’s father. Perhaps the next Star Trek book I need to read is his. Perhaps my favorite moments in this book were McCoy’s as we got to see him interact with his daughter who was a nursing student on the planet where the talks were being held. McCoy’s personality truly shines in this book and his scenes were a hoot.
Overall I enjoyed the book and look forward to seeing how this trilogy wraps up in the last book.
