Roll Call: The Crew of the U.S.S. Excalibur:

Captain Mackenzie Calhoun: An unorthodox, decisive young captain who loves his crew and his ship, and loves testing their limits even more.

Commander Shelby: A woman of strong opinions and strong values, Shelby never hesitated to tell her captains when she thought they were wrong, and Mackenzie Calhoun won't be any exception.

Burgoyne 172: The chief engineer of the Excalibur, with the decisiveness of Calhoun, the strength of Shelby, and the gender of both. Burgoyne is a Hermat, and when s/he sets his/her sights on you, s/he isn't an easy...person...to refuse.

As the Thallonian Empire succumbs to violence and insurrection, the U.S.S. Excalibur prepares to launch on her humanitarian mission of mercy. But her departure is destined to be a memorable one, as Calhoun contends with an unexpected stowaway, a stormy relationship with his crew, and -- light-years away -- frightened refugees aboard a dying ship.

This review is from: Into the Void (Star Trek New Frontier, No 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I was very anxious to read this continuation of the first book in this series. The only thing that let me down is that he left me hanging, waiting to read the third book.

This review is from: Into the Void (Star Trek New Frontier, No 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

It's only 150 pgs, and needs to be more!! Can't wait for this future installments of this new series. Peter David has always been able to bring action, humor, and good characters together into a fast-moving format. And an interesting cliff-hanger at the end....

4.0 out of 5 stars A new ship for Trek junkies with no television "bible"., June 28, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Into the Void (Star Trek New Frontier, No 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Despite the annoying publishing tactic of splitting one novel into four parts, the new series is a must read for Trek junkies. Without the televised framework of other Trek novels, you truly get the feeling that this series can go "boldly where no other ship has gone." The characters feel like old friends, with the potential of future conflict, love, and adventure. Let's hope the series continues - in full-size novels
