Title: Worst one of the series so far
Product review: I read Captain's Table #1 and immediately chased it with this one. Like drinking the hair of the dog on a morning after, this one tasted awful. I actually quit reading the book in frustration after struggling to get through the long-winded passages describing the intricate details of the various ships, weapons, crew members, etc. I'm a fan of action-adventure, but this was pure torture. The writer made me feel like Capt. Picard is truly a boring storyteller -- not that the story itself isn't interesting, but that *he* couldn't tell it well. The interruptions from the captain's listeners aren't as frequent as in the previous book (or in later ones). Those interruptions, IMO, help to break up the story, provide suspense, and keep it from dragging. "Dujonian's Hoard" needed those interruptions more frequently, and it doesn't get them. As a result, the story gets bogged down in the details.
