Starfleet Year One
ByPublisher Description
Earth Command defeated the Romulans with the help of other races across the galaxy, and the Neutral Zone was established. Out of that necessary and uneasy collaboration came the United Federation of Planets and its combined forces, Starfleet. But the close quarters of a starship among so many races and personalities is discomforting to all the ranks. Control of what could grow to be the greatest power in the galaxy is at stake and no one is taking it lightly.
A powerful new class of starship, the Daedalus, flagship of the new Federation fleet, is up for grabs among the six new Starfleet captains. Adm. Ed Walker is determined to keep this jewel, and all of Starfleet, under military command and away from the scientists. He chooses Capt. Aaron Stiles as his protégé in the endeavor. Stiles, bent on avenging the death of his brother Jake, faces stiff resistance from Walker¹s rebellious space jock nephew Dane and scientist Capt. Bryce Shumar. But they face their biggest threat of all in an unknown alien race destroying the bases of the Oreias system. Can brains and brawn combine to win without killing each other in the process?

“This was… ok.
I like the dynamic between all the captains but it didn’t really do much for the universe and the last 50 pages were ridiculously rushed.”Charles Judson

“So not one of my favorite Star Trek books but it was decent. So this book is setting up the beginning of Star fleet which used to be Earth Command. It follows six Captains set to command the Daedalus ships the Federation was building. Three of the captains have a military background and three of the captains have a science background. The whole plot is these captains getting used to each other and being able to use each other’s talent for good.”

“The begining of the The United Federation of Planets. How did it happen? Who was there? Who were the heroes? These were the questions I wanted answers to when I picked up this book. I think a lot of Star Trek fans want answers to these questions. There is an entire TV series devoted to these questions. For me this book was a whole lot better at it then the show. But that is a whole different topic. This book got my attention immediately with an epic space battle during the Romulan War. I really want a good Romulan War book but, that's a different topic, too. The middle of the book was kind of slow for me. The characters didn't seem completely fleshed out and the dialog was pretty superficial. My favorite character was the Rigelian Captain Alonis Cobaryn. The story picked up speed about 3/4 of the way into it. And the end, because I am a big sap, made me tear up a little. All in all a solid book and I think one any Star Trek fan would enjoy.”
