Negative Positive
Title: good story and setup for sequels!
Review: the idea is definitely interesting - an outpost at the edges of known space, to serve as a base for further colonisation. The corny part here, though, is the sentient life that begins to oppose this - its too pat to be a great storyline and used too often in earlier stories. That apart, the characterisation is excellent - with cameos from some well-loved stars. There are some interesting and intersecting plotlines,too - with quite a few qs raised that , i hope, will be answered in the sequels. Especially liked the Vulcan security chief - her part of the story shaped out to be the most interesting one! All in all, a good read - even for non-Trekkies. Here's hoping the sequels keep up the good work.
