I certainly enjoyed this one, voted outstanding. To me, it was a perfect balance of great character moments and action. Here's my video review.
I finished this novel earlier this month and thought it was alright. Frankly, I never really felt engrossed in the story very much and I wasn't very invested in the whole hunt for Husnock tech. Seeing the Nausicaans at the beginning was interesting, even though we didn't learn much about them. Same goes for Titan's XO. Her being a spy and everything for an evil admiral was a cool idea, and Riker and Troi being on her side at the end seems like a good set-up for a future story, I just think I'd have preferred that one over the plot-driven story we got. Also, I never realized that Batanides appeared in "Tapestry" and also appeared in a bunch of other books and comics. Seeing some Ferengis again, especially in atypcal lines of work, was neat too. Also, and this absolutely isn't the fault of this book, I realized while reading this that the Breen rank thot was spelled exactly like the internet jargon abbreviation for "that hoe over there" and I can't unsee that now.
I have one question: we already had a Breen Thot TRAN, now we get Thot TREN. In Cold Equations 2, there was a Breen Helmsman also named "Tren" (in chapter 5). Both are written bei David Mack. So are they supposed to be the same character? Or is it just a coincidence? Maybe names like Tran and Tren are very common among the Breen.
I also finally finished this one.
I'm not a big fan of the Titan-Series, but this novel really was okay.
