Summary: One of the best Trek books
Comment: The plot: the Enterprise is trapped in a subspace anomaly while one of the Stargazer survivors stalks the others. One of the major story lines is the murder-mystery side. It is very light on investigation, mostly consisting of action scenes of considerable variety. The other major component is the stories from the Stargazer days. The reason it all works is simple: quality of writing and characterisation. This author's writing is usually rather flat, particularly in dialogue and characterisation. This time, he presents the Stargazer crew as though they are as fully developed as any of the TNG regulars. The portrayals are strong and vivid enough that by the time of the first murder attempt, you already care about whether the characters survive it. The quality of writing in general is very high. The Stargazer stories here are better written and more interesting than any of the Stargazer books, except The Valiant. The 'treknobabble' side to getting out of the subspace anomaly is only a minor part of the story, but also very well presented. All in all, the quality of this book and the entertainment value it provides is extremely high.

Summary: Murder Mystery on the Enterprise
Comment: Suspensfull, well written, and entertaining; Reunion brings the old crew of Picards former command, the Stargazer, to the enterprise for a mission to the homeworld of one of Picards former officers, who has the fourtune of becoming the ruler of his homeworld. However, this joyous reunion is soon to become a nightmare, when someone is trying to kill members of the old stargazer crew.
Finding the killer will be a challenge, as they all have issues of one sort or another. To top it off, they find themselves in another emergency which threatens the entire ship, a subspace phenomena from which they must escape.
Suspensfull to the end, a great read. Only one cavet, at times I did feel the technical information was a bit dumbed down. A common patern was to explain the problem technically, then again explain in a simpler technical language, then once again in a very simple maner. While all accurate, it got a little annoying after a while, as if the author were attempting to make it so a sixth grader could understand it easily(perhaps?) Dispite this flaw, it is still an excellent mystery which captures the spirit of the Enterprise and Stargazer crews quite well.

Summary: Amazing details of the history of the U.S.S. Stargazer
Comment: An incredible story on the past of the Stargazer, and is very suspenseful to the very end. However, recommend readers to read the Valiant, also by Michael Jan Friedman, before you read this book. It gives even more surprise to the ending.
