Yet another spin-off series from the ever popular Star Trek publishing line at Pocket Books. This one is about Captain Riker taking command of his own ship, the Titan. The novel is really a lot like a TV pilot where we get isolated moments with the new cast and crew, getting to know more about them. There’s also a plotline that deals with the effects of the events of the last movie, Nemesis. Overall, a fast-paced, fun book that is a nice introduction to another Star Trek spin-off. It’s certainly not quite on the same level as the New Frontier or DS9 relaunch novels, but it has potential to get there.

The launch of a new Star Trek novel series.
