Huge Trekkie here! I'm absolutely loving this new series, highlighting characters that we already know, some mentioned but never embellished upon and some new ones.

I've said it before, and I will say it again. Plot lines that follow multiple characters in parallel storylines are hard to follow and if not done right, can come off messy and scattered. Because of this, I tend to avoid multiple plot lines like the plague. Glad I didn't on this one.

Four crew members of the enterprise are forced to abandon ship on a strange planet. They are separated during the process and have to survive on their own on a strange and dangerous planet where technology doesn't work.

Pike's storyline has a wild west kind of vibe, where Una finds herself in a jungle/Jurassic park type crazy ride. Uhura is dropped into a hot wasteland where she learns to communicate with lava... And Spock... Well, good old Spock has the ride of his life with Volcan pirates. Its really an odd combination, but so entertaining, especially the ending.

I really enjoyed reading through this book, following the characters I've come to love. I can't wait to see what happens to them next.
