A review by gerhard
Armageddon's Arrow by Dayton Ward

2.0

I wish that time travel could be banned from any incarnation of the Star Trek universe, whether cinematic or print. Too often it is a convenient deus ex machina. This is a classic example: here we have the Enterprise-E going boldly and exploring the Odyssean Pass, where it discovers a derelict spaceship that turns out to be a doomsday weapon from the past meant to end the war between two competing species. These civilisations are only cursorily differentiated, to the point where they seem interchangeable. And since when do we have a Temporal Prime Directive? Solidly written, however Ward takes no chances with his toy box, sticking to the well-proven as far as possible. Disappointing.
