(spoilers)

Kirk waxing melancholy to the point where he's lost in being bummed about the last year of the mission in the middle of a crisis. Ridiculously out of character.

Sulu's romance was so clichéd there was a "perfect day at the park."

Interspersed with that, filler about the politics of Kirk's captaincy that are pretty uninteresting. And the main plot is not all that compelling to start with.

The only thing that moved me at all was what happened to Sulu's love interest.

Worst book in a while. I've read better fanfic and I dare say I've written it, too.

The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism ā€” ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ā€¯ ā€” Franklin D. Roosevelt, "Message from the President of the United States Transmitting Recommendations Relative to the Strengthening and Enforcement of Anti-trust Laws.ā€¯
