Title: Probably the most spiritual of the Star Trek books
Product review: This is one of the few Star Trek books to getbetter in the second half. There's a bit ofa conceptual problem with the thought of introducinga "speck of infinite mass" as the basis of theinversion drive. If the mass were infinite, a"speck" or "big hunk" would be the same.The technobabble is a bit on the weak side, butthe spiritual aspects of the story really shine.The concept of the extragalactic drive throws abig wrench into the Star Trek continuity's works.Of course, this story was written before NextGeneration came on the scene, so that's forgivable.Yet, there is a problem in that this mission hadto have taken place during the "first five years"(Kirk is a Captain, not an Admiral, and thebook was written before he was busted). So,it's difficult to wedge this one into the continuity.That doesn't mean that it's a bad story. Infact, it's one of the better Star Trek books,a vintage one.
