Such a fantastic little story. If the game was anything like this book it must have been highly enjoyable. The story was fun.

A quick and simple bit of fluff, based on an early CD-ROM game. As such, not exactly the most complex or demanding of novels, even among Trek books, but that’s about what I expected, so no disappointment.

By far the best part: A scene in a combat simulator with Kirk commanding cadets standing in for Sulu and Chekhov, while Sulu and Chekhov stand in for — and mimic — Spock and Scotty. Nobody takes it too seriously, and Chekhov tries to add Scotty’s brogue to his natural Russian accent. A nice moment of levity that stood out.
