#14: Star Trek Destiny: Mere Mortals-David Mack

 1/30/12
 I've found there is a wonderful advantage to not jumping on the band wagon of a series right away. That advantage my friends is that the wait for the next installment is considerably shorter, also you can get into a groove and read a bunch of them at the same time (as evidenced by my overwhelming number of Star Trek books in this past month.) These facts are especially advantageous when reading books that finish with cliff hangers. Unlike season finale's of shows or real time reading and waiting for release dates I need only wait as long as it takes me to put down one book and pick up the next.

Captains Dax, Riker, and Picard continue their struggle to find a way to stop the impending Borg invasion. But across time and space Erika Hernedez  spends centuries with the Celiear learning and working in inescapable exile. Time however, is a funny thing an it has a way of sneaking up on you, and time is running out for the Federation. But what can you do when your enemy is almost invincible?

Mack continues his well crafted and brilliantly woven tales. Again as in the first Destiny book he blends different times and different ships into a journey that will have readers on the edge of their seats. Whether you've read any of the other books besides this trilogy or watched any of the show ro not you will enjoy the depth of the characters and the complexity of the story. This is more than just a book about catastrophic war it is part of a series of beginnings, endings, and destinies.
