{4.5\/5} “A large, livid burn snaked down his neck, and a profusion of other wounds and smudges covered both his flesh and his torn uniform.

Star Trek: Enterprise — The Good That Men Do<\/strong> by Michael A. Martin & Andy Engels, published in 2007<\/p>\n

Five worlds are coming together to form the Coalition of Planets. The Romulans aren’t happy about this, and they launch a scheme to break it up. Meanwhile, Trip and T’Pol are mourning the loss of their daughter Elizabeth. Later, Trip contacts Malcolm’s Section 31 contact when Starfleet won’t heed their warning.<\/p>\n

This is the 1st novel that takes place after the series.<\/p>\n

Shran and T’Pau also show up.<\/p>\n

There is a framing story with Jake and Nog investigating a historical mystery — comparing the original story of Trip’s death with newly unclassified files.<\/p>\n

If you’re the editor if the Star Trek<\/strong> books, and the writers of the Enterprise<\/strong> finale have killed Trip, the 1st thing you’re going to do is bring him back. It’s a tricky situation, though — who are you going to get to do it? A writing duo who have proven they can handle complex storylines.<\/p>\n

I’ve read 5 books by this writing team, plus 2 solo books by Martin. The previous entry in the story of the 22nd century is Star Trek: Enterprise — Last Full Measure<\/strong><\/a> by Martin and Engels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
