Captain to Captain by Greg Cox

2.0

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.
