Title: Interesting story, poorly executed
Review: The execution of the writing is simply bad. The prose has a lyrical quality to it that is off putting and the characters are flat and dull. I really had no sympathy for any of them since they were cardboard cut outs. Familiar Trek characters didn't seem themselves. And were barely focused on. The back cover copy sounded so interesting but the writing let the premise down. I could barely make it through the novel.
