vingilot's review against another edition
5.0
This book gives us what we so rarely get in star trek, the full aftermath. Something shocking has happened, the crew will never be the same, they have PTSD and survivor's guilt to deal with, and need to figure out where to go from here.
One by one the crew goes home to lick their wounds, some get tangled into a new problem, others are simple dealing with their baggage. Corsi and Stevens go to visit her parents, a big ask of Corsi who's estranged relationship with her father is rather stressful indeed, Steven's motivations are even less clear but he seems to be questioning his role in Starfleet.
Carol, Bart and Soloman go on a joined emergency mission, and find themselves questioning what is real while also still realling from what hey experienced.
Pattie goes home to find her home under attack, and discovers that history is important to know, even though her society shuns it. In doingh so she makes a little history herself. We also get a fascinating look into Nasat society.
And Gomez and Gold are on earth, struggling to find their way after what they went through. Gold finds sollace in his large extended family, while Gomez mostly projects her own survivor guil onto Gold. Can they ever function as CO and XO again?
If there was one thing I would critique this book for it would be that it simply is not long enough. I wanted more stories like this, but they do not often sell well. It also feels like less material having it all bound in one paper book, rather than the ebooks I originally read.
All in all a great set once more, and I look forward to the next one.
