Disappointing ending

The premise and the buyildup to the end are very good, but the resolution just makes no sense. Why the choice made "corrects" the timeline is in no way obvious. Too bad.

Worst Trek Novel I've Read in a Long Time!

I'm sorry, I really wanted to like this novel, but it was written so badly, and the plot was not only contrived, it made NO sense. It takes the already existing damage to the Borg's credibility (from First Contact and Voyager) and makes it 1000 times worse. Beyond that, none of the characters are believable, especially Scotty, who comes across as Dennis the Menace:The Next Generation. Ugh. HATE for this book is all I have. I gave it away by leaving it in a public spot (after registering on bookcrossing.com)

Excellent, Excellent Trek Book!

I have LOTS of Star Trek books, among them some written by Gene DeWeese. He's one of the very best Trek authors out there, with a great feel for the characters. Engines is well-paced, the descriptions vivid and smooth. The book tugs you along, so read it when you have some time on your hands. You'll not want to put it down.
