Amazon Reader Remarks: (by Jayson Olson) "More in depth character development, promises a big climax" This being the second novel in what I"m guessing is a trilogy started off with a bang. I think that the climax/cliff hanger for the 1st in this series had everyone chomping to get to their hands on this one. The action picks up right where the other left off, but after chapter 2 things slow down. There is some action, not a lot, but that"s not what this story is about. This whole book is about character (especially and obviously Kirk"s) motivation and how much of a mirror he is of the Tiberius (his counterpart in the mirror universe). There is some old fashion detective work that makes this novel more like a mystery at times. Guessing on who is manipulating who, how things are done, a shadow Starfleet organization and what its purpose is, plus a few surprises kept my interest. What is missing from this book is much about the Next Generation cast. They are here, but the primary role revolves around Kirk, then Spock (or Spock"s) and the shadow Starfleet organization. What was a nice surprise is to see that Garak (DS9) plays a role in the book, as does a few other mentionables from the various TV series and movies. Nearing the end of the book the action picks up again, but ends not so much with an outstanding cliffhanger, but yet another plotline which promises to answer some big overall questions on the history of both universes from the beginning. It also looks as if the next book will include much more Next Generation involvement. Looking forward to it!
