Is INTO DARKNESS better than STAR TREK (2009)?. Is INTO DARKNESS better than STAR TREK (2009)?

According to 8of5 Guide to the Trek Collective, author Christopher L Bennett posted on his blog details of next Star Trek Enterprise relaunch novel, set after the Romulan War, and titled Star Trek: Enterprise Rise of the Federation: A Choice of Futures, on sale July 2013. Here is an excerpt of what he announced in his blog.
The Romulan War saga of the previous Enterprise novels concluded with
the founding of the United Federation of Planets in 2161. I’ve been
chosen to tell the next phase of the story. How did an alliance forged
in wartime become the peaceful union we know? How did its founding
members balance their differing views of what the Federation should
become? What did they each contribute to the UFP government and
Starfleet? How did that Starfleet end up being so similar to the United
Earth Starfleet, and what familiar elements owe more to the Vulcans,
Andorians, and Tellarites than we might have realized? What challenges
did this fledgling union face in dealing with neighboring powers unsure
of its intentions or threatened by its unity? What new enemies arose in
the wake of the Romulans?
This is a followup to the Star Trek Enterprise — The Romulan War
duology, but it’s also a fresh beginning, picking up about a year after
the Federation’s founding. The war is over, Enterprise herself is in
mothballs, and Admiral Jonathan Archer, his former crew, and his allies
including Shran and Soval have moved on to new phases in their lives,
playing new roles in the Federation and its combined Starfleet. The
novel will feature many familiar characters from the era, a few new
crewmates for the familiar cast, and some unexpected names as well. It’s
called Enterprise for branding/marketing reasons, but I see it more as a
sequel to Enterprise — and a prequel to the original series
.

I approached the [Starfleet] uniform design as an intermediate step between the ENT and Kelvin uniforms, with elements foreshadowing later uniform designs as well.
