Product Description:
When the U.S.S. Excalibur was suddenly and mercilessly destroyed, Starfleet lost one of its finest starships. But the crew members of the Excalibur lost their captain...and their home. Now, in mourning for their ship and Captain Mackenzie Calhoun, First Officer Elizabeth Shelby and the rest of the crew await new assignments
For Lieutenant Soleta, that means a painful reunion with her Romulan father, while Zak Kebron and Mark McHenry are sent undercover to investigate a series of mysterious alien abductions an a low-tech world. Going their separate ways throughout the Alpha Quadrant, the Excalibur's survivors must face diverse challenges and dangers on their own.
The ship is history, but the adventure continues...

This novel was utterly boring and not even necessary. Yes, I understand that Peter David is using the destruction of Excalibur as a way to delve into the inner thoughts and private lives of the former Excalibur crew, but unfortunately it just doesn't work. Soleta's story is moderately interesting, but after awhile it just got tedious. As for the McHenry and Kebron story, not worth the effort and often found myself skimming through for the interesting spots. One of the things that has made this ... Read More

With the beginning of the Excalibur trilogy in Star Trek New Frontier #9 "Requiem," Peter David, one of Star Trek's premier authors, has once again proven why this series is as popular as it is. As is usual with his Star Trek novels, "Requiem" is a humorous yet serious story that I found to be a very quick read, all due to the author's excellent writing style, which lends heavily to a fast paced story. Simply put, Peter David knows what Star Trek is all about and in the case of the New Frontier stories; ... Read More

This is easily the worst novel by Peter David I've ever read. He is generally a fine author, particularly of Star Trek novels (which is where I am familiar with his work, for the most part.) In this "New Frontier" series, generally, the only complaint that I've had has been the "to be continued" non-endings. This book continues that tradition, but I can't really complain, considering that there isn't really any plot to be continued; I've never objected to sub-plots being continued from one book to the next, ...

The "New Frontier" series of Star Trek books is generally a step above the other Star Trek books, mainly because it focuses on mostly original characters (and the characters that aren't original were only seen in an episode or two of the Next Generation series). Thus, Peter David can do anything he wants to do with them, as long as the universe itself doesn't change (thus, he can't destroy the Federation or anything). This is a definite plus in a line of books where the stories can start to sound the same. ... Read More

I waffled a bit over whether to give this one 3 or 4 stars. I finally went with 4 on the strength of the Soleta plot.
To start at the beginning, Peter David created a series called "New Frontier." An alien captain, three characters who were cameo's on The Next Generation, and the rest of the crew made up from his fertile imagination. They are put aboard the USS Excalibur, and sent into Thallonian space.
In book eight, the last line of the story takes us, with no explanation, to "five ... Read More
