This is a set of books (five last ones in the Enterprise time period) that have shifted from War to political intrigue and shinanigans. All our favourites...in different roles, and new characters to push them.

This is actually where I believe Admiral Archer would've flourished on screen. Scott Bakula would have chewed up these scenes.

Also, having Captain T'Pol and Sato on the same ship. Yes! AND...Captain Reed with his #1 being Merryweather. Love these pairings. Also, having Trip still in Section 31. You can see that it is wearing on him, but how much a "good person" is needed in an organization that does SO many shady things.

I will probably pick up the sequel...in a day or two. I think I'm going to head back over to the Odyssey One series by Evan Currie.
