This book is part of the Lost Years series and it does not disappoint. Rather than focusing on the primary characters of Kirk, Spock and McCoy this novel primarily focuses on Chekov, Sulu and Uhura and it's a welcome change. The friendship, love and respect they share rivals that of the others. The story itself is filled with intrigue, betrayal, treason and great locations. It kept me on the edge of my seat page after page. A must read!
