Miracle Workers by Keith R.A. DeCandido
3.0
'Miracle Workers' consists of: 'Interphase: Book Two', 'Cold Fusion', 'Invincible', and the 'Star Trek: S.C.E. Minipedia'. I thought all of the stories were mediocre. I just never really got into them. I was afraid of too much technobabble, which though present, was not overwhelming.
Interphase: Book Two - The crew of the U.S.S. da Vinci try to salvage an old ship, U.S.S. Defiant (TOS), from intersphase in Tholian space. I found some of the plot points forced or contrived. I might just be missing some context from the first book since it has been a long time since I read it.
Cold Fusion - The da Vinci is sent to help Nog obtain a fusion core for DS9 from Empok Nor. I liked this story best from the set. I did not fully buy the plot, but there was more interesting crew interaction / background.
Invincible - Sonya Gomez is on temporary assignment to help mining operations on a planet. The story was an interesting idea, but the series of mistakes and subsequent deaths seemed unbecoming of a capable Starfleet officer. I was surprised Sonya was not more traumatized by the ordeal (or more competent at dealing with it), given that she was so scarred from her encounter with the Borg.
