Summary
An original novel based on the thrilling Star Trek movies directed by J.J. Abrams!
Taking place in an alternate timeline created when the Starship Kelvin was destroyed by a Romulan invader from the future, this bold new novel follows Captain James T. Kirk and an inexperienced crew commandeering a repaired USS Enterprise out of spacedock for a simple shakedown cruise. When a distress call comes in, the Enterprise must aid a large colony ship of alien refugees known as the Perenorean, who are under siege by an unknown enemy. But Kirk and his crew will find that the situation with the peaceful Perenorean is far more complicated than they bargained for, and the answers as to why they were attacked in the first place unfold in the most insidious of ways....

Very rushed ending
Superbly delivered as always by Robert Petkoff, this story started out hot, but I think it meandered through the middle parts. As for the ending, it seemed to just happen. Hardly any build up at all. Overall, quite disappointing.

More Star Trek than the films
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It felt very Star Trek, exploring ideological differences more than anything. Enjoyable. Only downside is that the resolution felt a little abrupt. I would have liked a coda to see what life was like afterwards.

Very unsatisfactory ending
As always this Star Trek book had a great story and very interesting characters, but the ending was very disappointed and very abruptly ended with no difinitive resolution of the story

Worth a read, but have low expectations.
Great premise albeit a bit poorly paced. Despite the somewhat slow but intriguing build up, the ending felt anticlimactic, rushed and frankly a bit underwhelming. That said there was enough to enjoy about the story overall. The new alien race that becomes essential to the overarching plot are beautifully described and very thought provoking.
As an aside, if you're a Kelvin timeline fan, it's a bit hit and miss: Kirk was written more as Shatner than Pine in my view, but the other characters felt more Kelvin timeline authentic.
