This book is an early story of the Klingons...before they were established in the lore...as much as they should've. I believe this was still TV TOS type Klingons (swarthy looking).
There were great moments, though and I'm glad that I was able to pick this story to read.
The Andorians were not represented as well as I think they should've been. No use of "pink skin" references. Though, they are researchers and scientists...so maybe those disciplines tamp down the aggressive nature within them (or just poor use of background information).
This story reminded me a bit of Naked Time episode...where the "base emotions" were brought to the surphase. As were learn, later in the book...WHY these things were happening...it reminded me of a recent book I read by Michael Mammay called Generation Ship (and the planet that they came in contact with).
It was good to have the three main characters of Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Bones, though their banter wasn't as well written as other books I've read in this series (unfortunately).
Overall, a fairly good book. Some areas that could've been better, but a solid story.”
