Did I miss something? Was there as Section 31 operative active in the story?

Re: Star Trek: Cast No Shadow Review Thread
Quite so. As Ashes of Eden has some firm continuity connections with The Undiscovered Country that also underpinned elements of Cast No Shadow, I felt it worked to mention it.
The Ashes of Eden kinda has one foot in the mainstream Trek Lit continuity and one in the "Shatnerverse" tales...

Hmm. I'm now about 2/3 of the way into the last novella of Declassified, and so I'm already a bit hazy (I caught myself getting references in The Stars Look Down mixed up with references in Cast No Shadow), but as I recall, we never did find out
Which is probably just as well.

where Section 31 stood on the Gorkon Conspiracy. Whether Dr. Tancreda was acting to conceal the truth or root it out. Whether Cartwright's involvement in the conspiracy was on behalf of Section 31, or a betrayal of it.

Cartwright's connection to Section 31 was established way back in TOS: Section 31: Cloak, so I would guess that he was indeed representing them to Chang and Nanclus.

Just wrote my review for Cast No Shadow. Not too much new there, kind of echoing a lot of what others said!

I just got done with this book and overall I thought it was good. The beginning of the story really hooked me in. I think there should be more novels involving intelligence work in the Star Trek Universe.

When Miller died and gave Vaughn the padd-like device and said the code was 'reindeer flotilla, what was that all about? Did I really miss something obvious?

did the padd-like device make another appereance somewhere, or was there a reference to what sort of data was on there? Did I really miss something completely obvious??

I liked it a lot! Great sequel to TUC, I liked a lot of the detective work that went on, and Elias Vaughn is always a badass!
Plus I like seeing Sulu take the Excelsior out for a ride, even if it is only a few pages.
Oh, and I absolutely love this bit:
"Next time, Elias, write a goddamn memo!"
Especially since The Hunt For Red October is my favorite Clancy book/Movie.

Re: Star Trek: Cast No Shadow Review Thread
Have you read Serpents Among the Ruins, and The Art of the Impossible yet? They also both deal with Vaughn's history.
