Unfortunately, I struggled with this novel from the very beginning. The author, rather than simply telling a good story, bogs down the reader with sentences like:"In a flash, he realized that nothing had been wrong, after all, except his perception of time, distorted by his biological responses."and..."That last remark produced no response from the people on the bridge, but B'Elanna assumed they all had a similar response: there were people who had no real home, not anymore, not after they decided to thumb their noses at the Federation's peace treaty and try for a different kind of justice."It was just not a pleasure to read. I hate to give a bad rating to a Star Trek novel, but I just felt like this particular one was a waste of my money.
