Fantastic!
The Federation is only moments away from complete destruction. Billions have died and billions more are about to.
With the help of Captain Erika Hernandez, Will Riker and the crew of the Titan return to the Azure Nebula only to find that they are well behind enemy lines. The war looks to be lost while the remnants of the Federation are preparing to meet their fate. The Borg press on with their plan to destroy it.
There are often glimmers of hope in the battle however most gains the Federation makes are soon lost, leaving only desperate plans. What comes as a surprise is which characters rise to the challenge and which take unfamiliar roles of support rather then leadership. I found that very refreshing.
We are also treated to a wonderful origin story that becomes the key to everything.
I cannot express how happy I am that this series has come along. From this trilogy all the characters we know from the Star Trek universe are set free from the shackles of CBS and Paramount Pictures. The authors are no longer constrained by what might transpire in future movies or TV episodes, since they are over and there is no chance of further installments. The 23rd century now only lives in the novels and it is in very capable hands.
If you've come this far you will read the last book in the series; you don't need me to encourage you. Resistance to Star Trek: Destiny is futile.
