review 1: Another step forward in the Typhon Pact saga...and another "Star Trek" novel I raced through at warp speed. The only reason it earns a measly four stars is due to the fact that I found the Andorian political situation less compelling than the stunning work done with the Cardassians in the previous novel. I kept wanting to get back to the nail-biting, adrenaline-charged saga of a Starfleet beginning to tear itself apart due to the machinations of the new Federation president. Had this been the only part of the novel, it might have earned SIX stars...
review 2: David Mack once again delivers a very solid Star Trek book. I was happy to see the Andorian plots wrapped up since both their reproductive crisis and their leaving the Federation have been ongoing issu... morees for quite a while. It was nice to have those two storylines front and center and for something major to happen with both. I was a little disappointed in the character of Ezri Dax. Even though Mack addressed why she was acting like she was, it seemed too out of character for me. I also thought it was a little odd that doctors Pulaski and Lense were suddenly experts in genetic medicine since I couldn't recall that fact ever being mentioned. It seemed like they were being used simply because they were established characters.The book did drag a little here and there, but overall I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the last two books in the series and to see what horrible things the Federation president pro tem does. I'm hoping his character is developed into something more than another ambitious, power-hungry politician. less
