Product Description:
Missing for two hundred millennia, the legendary Iconians have returned, bringing with them the secret of interdimensional teleportation across vast interstellar distances. Awakened once more, their ancient Gateways are rewriting the map of the galaxy, and nowhere more than in the New Frontier®....
A century ago, the imperial Thallonians separated two feuding alien races, depositing each of them on a new world safely distant from that of their ancestral enemies. Now, however, the Gateways have made it possible for the long dormant blood feud to begin anew. Captain Mackenzie Calhoun of the U.S.S. Excalibur and his partner, Captain Elizabeth Shelby of the U.S.S. Trident, find themselves fighting a losing battle to keep the horrific violence from escalating, even as they gradually realize the catastrophic danger posed by the Gateways themselves!

I generally enjoy all of the Peter David's Star Trek books I have read, but this one was very boring to me. The story was not that interesting. Usually I cannot put his books down, but this one was almost tough to finish.

I must admit this was my first foray into Peter David's New Frontier, and while Peter David seems a great writer, I'm not a fan.
The story here was good and riveting as well the character development for M'Ress especially was great. As for the Gateways series I recommend TNG's book instead of this one, as this one doesn't have much to do with the real problem. The only relation to the Gateways problem in fact, is the fact that it is a gateway that has restarted a war between two races. ... Read More

This was the best of the 5 I've read. Like many New Frontier books, this one ends in a cliffhanger, but the story just prior to that point has a conclusion that you can feel is complete in itself.
Peter David is probably the most consistently entertaining ST author, but this was a challenge for him. I think dealing with two New Frontier crews is difficult. He pulls it off, but not as much fun, in my opinion, as some of the earlier New Frontier books. The two separate Captain--First Officer relationships ... Read More

Like many reviewers have mentioned here before it is a story of two races that hate each other and were separated long ago by the Thallonians. They sent them to two different worlds with no spaceflight technology. Since this is a Gateway series you know they get their hands on it and attack each other. The Excaliber and Trident commanded by Calhouhn and Shelby are sent to solve the Gateway problem and the war between these races.
The story is very typical New Frontier style with interesting twists and attitude. ... Read More

I'm gonna need another bang in the eye for dismissing Peter David's New Frontier world before I read this book. Admittedly, there are holes because I didn't read a few NF installments, but those holes didn't diminish my understanding or enjoyment of this book. A few details missed? Yeah. But in the Big Picture, I was still able to put it all together. The holes just make me want to go back and read the NF books I missed, so how could that be a bad thing?
In this, novel, Peter expertly guides his "irreverently ... Read More
