An enjoyable trek, even though it does have Discovery in the title.
I enjoyed this book, despite my hesitation in reading it. This is my first Star Trek: Discovery book, although I see now that it is actually book #5, because I find the Discovery tv show to be agonizingly bad. I did enjoy the presence of Captain Pike and Number One in the show which is why I have entertained the possibility of reading a book that appeared to focus on that ship and crew rather than the one I still hope Q blinks out of the timeline at the end of the series. Now that i have found this book available for free from my local library I felt comfortable devoting only my time rather than money to this venture.It actually was an interesting and engaging book. Its not the best Star Trek book I've ever read, nor the best John Jackson Miller book that I've read, but it does seem to be worth the time, if not the money. I found the premise a bit dubious, with regard to where they are and why, but the antagonists were interesting and the resolution was reasonably satisfying. I felt the familiar characters seemed true to their appearance in the Discovery show, but are still not appropriately impacted by their experience in the Star Trek TOS pilot episode, The Cage. I also appreciated that references to the Discovery, her crew, and her story were very limited, and knowledge of them are by no means a prerequisite to enjoying this book.All in all, this is a good Star Trek book and worth the investment of a bit of time, wether or not you like the Star Trek series from which it stems, although you may need to actually like real Star Trek; it is still Star Trek. This book is certainly my favorite episode of Discovery.
