Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise™ seethes with frustration, wondering if anyone else can see what he sees. A secret, closed, militaristic society, convinced that their survival hangs by a thread, who view their neighbors as a threat to their very existence -- the Spartans of ancient Greece, the Russians of the old Soviet Union, the Koreans under Kim Il-sung -- with only one goal: attain ultimate power, no matter the cost. The little-known, never-seen Romulans seem to live by these same principles. The captain realizes that the bond between the signers of the Coalition charter is fragile and likely to snap if pushed. But he knows that the Romulans are hostile, and he believes they are the force behind the cargo ship attacks. If asked, Archer can offer no proof without endangering his friend's life. To whom does he owe his loyalty: his friend, his world, the Coalition? And by choosing one, does he not risk losing all of them? What is the solution to a no-win scenario? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I would wait until the sequel, and read both at once.This book takes a while to get going, and there are some problems for the avid ST book reader as far as characters, but that stuff can be easily dismissed because the book is an okay read. I still think the best Kobaishi Maru story is contained in New Frontier-Stone and Anvil. Anyway, with this name you would think you won't be able to put it down...but believe me, you will. Personally, it's a book that leaves off where the most exciting part will happen in the sequel, and it's almost ... Read More Rating:  - DisappointedThis book had so much potential, but was a terrific disappointment. The story itself was hard to read and not say, "sorry how can that have happened way back then?" I was able to keep reading, despite the problems with continuity between this and the original series. I kept thinking there would be some explanation that would make it all work out. The characters were not written very well and did things... well, out of character (and it really seems a stretch to introduce homosexual Klingons after all ... Read More Rating:  - On the Brink of the Romulan WarThe adventures of the first starship Enterprise continue in the latest novel sequel to a TV series that ended too soon. And in the tradition of that series, a blank spot in the rest of the Star Trek universe has been filled in. The Koybayashi Maru was first referred to in the beginning of the film "The Wrath of Khan" as part of a Starfleet cadet training exercise. A freighter in trouble lures the trainee crew into an ambush. This book brings us the original ambush. The Romulans ... Read More Rating:  - Bad From Outline to AgendaI have been a Star Trek fan as long as I can remember and enjoyed most of the books furthering this universe. Typically I have assumed any new book would at worst be just ok... until now. This is the worst Trek experience I've had since halloween of 1972 (you don't want to know). I will likely continue to read some books in the genre, but will NEVER waste money or time on anything written by these authors again. In these pages I found: characters that were poorly developed - often contrary to established ... Read More Rating:  - Star Trek Enterprise Kobayashi MaruWas a very good book. Fits in good with other series of the Star Trek line.
