{4.5\/5} “If you’re selling flotation devices, you add a markup when the customer’s drowning. Any Ferengi child knows that… At least they used to, before Nagus Rom and all his fairness and equality claptrap.”<\/p>\n
Star Trek: Titan — Fortune of War<\/strong> by David Mack, published in 2017<\/p>\n Twenty years ago the Husnock were obliterated — all of them, everywhere, in an instant by a powerful being going by the name of Kevin Uxbridge. The Husnock were a violent civilization, and some of their weapons have been found — and several dangerous groups intend on stealing them. Meanwhile, a Federation research team investigating a Husnock site are kidnapped and Admiral Riker and the Titan rush to rescue them.<\/p>\n This story of Kevin Uxbridge and the Husnock was told in the Next Generation<\/strong> episode “The Survivors.”<\/p>\n This novel is a bit more intense than usual, as the situation is quite dangerous.<\/p>\n The story ends with a nice scene that’s part of a subplot. It’s another fine story.<\/p>\n The previous book in the story of the 24th century is Star Trek: DS9 Gamma \u2014 Original Sin<\/strong><\/a>. I also reviewed Mack’s novel Star Trek: Discovery \u2014 Desperate Hours<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “If you’re selling flotation devices, you add a markup when the customer’s drowning.
