esperata's review
4.0
This had everything I could want in a Star Trek novel - raging fever, Klingon warbirds, political intrigues and emotional trauma. The Enterprise and crew certainly seem to be the master of hopeless situations.
It was interesting to read about a different crew with a younger Spock although there were certainly some parallels (how many Starfleet doctors refer to Spock as pointy ears?). With the modern movies Captain Pike has now become a central figure and this story didn't disappoint. It also explores Spock's dual heritage by focusing on another individual torn between her two families.
The story itself kept the reader wondering as to the resolution. It seems if something can go wrong it often will but isn't that why we love it?
