I ve ever witnessed How the actors didn t raze Paramount s studios to the ground when they left, I ll never know.But anyway, we re talking about a book.Right out of the gate you must understand, this

story moves ...3.5 stars.A solid start to the post tv Enterprise relaunch While not the best written Trek novel, it does undo much of the damage caused by the series finale, so we ll bump this up to 4 stars.Okay, I need to state up front that I am not a nerd I don t say this to disparage nerds in any way rather, I don t know enough of the nerd cannon to ever be able to hold my own, and real nerds
