{4.5\/5} “Most galling of all had been the addendum that directed Kirk to take full personal responsibility for the mission — so that if it backfired, it could be dismissed as a rogue operation, the brainchild of a maverick starship captain acting without authority.”<\/p>\n
Star Trek: Legacies Book 2 — Best Defense<\/strong> by David Mack, published in 2016<\/p>\n Captain Una is looking for her colleagues stranded in an alternate universe 18 years ago — and she has 60 days to do it. Ambassador Sarek is attempting to negotiate a peace with the Klingons — but the Klingons aren’t really interested in peace. The Romulans and the Orion Syndicate would also be happy if the Federation and the Klingon Empire went to war.<\/p>\n This book is the sequel to Captain to Captain<\/strong>. It’s exciting, and you won’t be able to put it down.<\/p>\n We get a chance to see our old friends Sarek and Gorkon in action. There’s also an interesting storyline aboard a Romulan ship — Sadira, the Romulan spy formerly known as Ensign Bates, has orders the ship’s captain doesn’t like.<\/p>\n I previously reviewed the 1st book in this series, Captain to Captain<\/strong><\/a>. I also reviewed Mack’s novel Star Trek: The Fall \u2014 A Ceremony of Losses<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “Most galling of all had been the addendum that directed Kirk to take full personal responsibility for the mission — so that if it backfired, it could be dismissed as a rogue operation, the brainchild of a maverick starship captain acting without authority.” Star Trek: Legacies Book 2 — Best Defense by David Mack, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,28,5,8,59],"class_list":["post-8744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","tag-book","tag-novels","tag-review","tag-science-fiction","tag-star-trek"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8744"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8744\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12816,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8744\/revisions\/12816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
