Once upon a time, Trek could go anywhere. Too many constraints have been placed on it in recent years, some by unambitious, but as often by over-zealous fans who fear leaving their comfort zone!

But I've been burned one too many times by books/writers who did that sort of thing just for the sake of doing it, without bothering to tell a good story while they're at it. From the exceprt, though, it sounds like that's not the case with this book. Right, I get that, and it’s cool.

I really felt like the epilogue was written in a Clarke or Asimov type story, not a Trek one. 5 – Keep in mind, it’s an alternate universe tale, written by a writer with a base of scifi experience outside of Trek.
