Product Description:
The continuing voyages of the Starship Excalibur!
Many years ago, a bizarre alien life-form known as the Black Mass consumed and destroyed an entire solar system in what was then the Thallonion Empire. Now the Black Mass has returned and its target is Tulan IV, homeworld of the fearsome Redeemers. Faced with near-certain destruction the Overlord of the Redeemers is forced to turn to an unlikely ally: Captain Calhoun and the Starship Excalibur.
Busy coping with the return of his rebellious son, Calhoun is none too eager to come to the aid of his despotic enemy, but when innocent lives are threatened he has no choice but to confront the unstoppable Black Mass. But how can one starship turn back a force capable of consuming entire suns?

Or more to the point, seeing something that isn't there. It seemed to me that there were some references in this book to events that happened on the Excalibur that I haven't seen, in spite of having read all seven of the previous entries in the series; Shelby refers back to "when Riker was in command" in a way that I thought meant "in command of the Excalibur", rather than referring back to "Best of Both Worlds", the "Next Generation" episode that introduced us to Shelby, but I could have been mistaken ...

"...no dark sarcasm in this novel!"
Ultimately, this was the book that put me off of the New Frontier series. Until this point, I'd been able to take the rather bizarre approach used in the series, even imagine the very un-Trek-like things some of the characters were doing. Several reviewers have used the words "soap opera", and I think that's exactly what it is--a soap opera, perhaps with satire thrown in, rather than anything I associate with any of the true Star Trek series. Perhaps the ... Read More

At the end of Star Trek New Frontier #7 "The Quiet Place" the Overlord of the Redeemers learns that the Black Mass is headed towards Tulane IV, the home world of the Redeemers. He quickly surmises that the only prospect he has of stopping the destruction of his home world is to enlist the aid of Captain Calhoun and the USS Excalibur, hence the title "Dark Allies," considering the previously established animosity between them.
In "Dark Allies," we are treated to another finely crafted furtherance ... Read More

New Frontier fans are in for something better this time around on the New Frontier novels. "Quiet Place" was a bit weak in places, but the follow-up, "Dark Allies," is much more on par with Peter David's earlier works.
The Redeemers, the greatest enemy that the Excalibur crew have faced so far, come to Calhoun with a request to save their people. Caught in the impossible decision, "Dark Allies" plays quite a bit on the notion of a moral decision, and brings us a space-born entity that reminds us ... Read More

Star Trek - New Frontier... Dark Allies... Interesting and catchy title. Well, kinda, that is, if you haven't been paying attention to the seven previous books... But anyway, this book presents a not-so-new frontier to those devoted Trek fans familiar with TNG(The Next Generation...) The story line, character involvement and the element to the forced cooperation of the Excalibur's crew in this situation present new and interesting twists on an old TNG enemy. Does not the Black Mass seem an awful lot like ... Read More
