interesting outcome to the story arc The book lost a star and a half for its incessant recaps of the entire plot.The book begins with a Historian s Note summarizing the story so far but then every singe chapter in the first half includes a full stop to the action for at least one complete plot recap One or two are annoying, but by the Two stars is a little unfair, I admit Overall, this is a 3 a

Star Trek The Fall Peaceable Kingdoms As the last book in a five part series, it has the unenviable task of catching all the balls that the previous four books threw up in the air.Ward s book is an interesting read, and it benefits from the momentum that has been built leading up to this finale That so much of the story is Beverly Crusher centric was surprising if only because Crusher is so often a back burner character I also enjoyed It s hard to offer anything concise about Dayton Ward s Star Trek The Fall Peaceable Kingdoms As the last bo...Can you like something and still be let down

at a time describing that planet, and didn t feel I missed a thing.The pacing was chopped up again by flashbacks, though at least these were new content Some editor was again asleep at the wheel.Once the book had slogged uphill to the point where the Enterpr...This was a worthy finish to The Fall series All the loose ends were tied up nicely, but not too neat, and the stage set for continuing is fresh.Personally I have been a little disappointed with the tone and direction of the Star Trek universe for the past several incarnations From the Borg and other wars to the death of Janeway, the entire arc has been depressing and dark Federation ideals seemed to be lost or ignored.The Fall started out in a similar fashion, but offered glimpses of hope and This was a worthy finish to The Fall
