Query: Dreary Rehash

After an interesting start this is yet another Star Trek novel that goes nowhere fast. The author combines a host of ideas from the various Star Trek incarnations in a regurgitated plot that lacks the heart and soul of the series. Still I have to say that this is typical of the kinds of Star Trek novels being written these days so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. Once again an attempt to slot in an adventure into the existing Star Trek timeframe fails because of the inconsistencies in plot and characterisation that develop. For me this is another weak effort which is about as exciting as watching a tribble eat quadrotriticale !
