Interesting read that kept me engaged. The marriage of new characters and old along with a natural progression of some of the different sub-plots gave the book a flavor I appreciated. It was the best in the trilogy.

The unbelievable truth revealed at the centre of the Milky Way by the Traveler Wesley Crusher ignites a series of events which will lead the Enterprise crew to stare into the maw of the abyss. Once again, the crew, with the help of Data and other AI brethren of his seek to reason with a malevolent sentience poised at complete destruction.
The pace of the story is really good, initially moving forward on several fronts which towards the end come together to bring readers closure. David Mack manages to also dive into developing some of the other members of the Enterprise crew, which I certainly hope will not have the fate that other "star trek yellow coats" had in previous books in the Star Trek universe.

A fresh solution to a common trek/scifi trope. An artificial intelligence on a mission that will adversely affect all of organic life, a fun and classic idea, but this adventure doesn't end with a Kirk-type paradox that puts the AI into a self contradictory shutdown.

I don't think this Data revival was really necessary. Regardless, the Data/Lal story takes a back seat here for a Wesley story that REEEEAAAALLLYY wasn't necessary. I like modern Trek, but this trilogy wasn't what I was looking for.

Solid conclusion to this three-part series. The "giant machine bent on destroying the galaxy" wasn't my favorite plot idea, but I enjoyed the character advancement.

This was my favorite of the trilogy. I enjoyed getting to learn more about the lives of the Travelers, which I have always found interesting, and was fun to watch two cultures arguing about the value of something when the definition of value differs so vastly between them. Plus, who doesn't appreciate a plot line that includes character development in an AI.

I really enjoyed this series and the finale was typical Star Trek. I can't wait to start the next series I have but I'm going to make myself wait as I have other books that I need to read.
