defcons_treklitA decent continuation of the trilogy.
Book Two is the best of the trilogy, but it doesn’t use all of it’s potential. For example I would have liked to see more of the Gorn in the future timeline, they remain somewhat in the background throughout the whole book although they are the “big” enemies, even the romulans have a bigger direct involvement in the story. The solution of the Gorn transporter plot, that the transporter was “powered” by a Metron was surprising, but plausible, and is therefore a positive point for the book. The team up of “our” Sulu with the future Chekov had it’s moment, but remains somewhat superficial, their was place for some deeper character driven scenes between the two in my opinion.
Speaking of the characters, the characterizations are good, there are no major flaws with them. Even the future versions of Sulu and Chekov are recognizable as people the two could become.
Overall a agreeable novel in a decent trilogy, and worth a look.
