Product Description:
Captain Mackenzie Calhoun has often been accused of playing God, but he has never faced off against real gods -- until now. As Captain Kirk did before him, Calhoun has encountered beings of unnatural power and abilities verging on godhood, and who claim to be the very individuals who inspired the Greek, Roman, Norse, and, other pantheons from Earth culture.
These beings say that all they want is our worship, and in return for it will provide us with a peaceful galaxy-wide paradise of perfect health and endless pleasure. When the Federation, in the person of Captain Calhoun and the crew of the U.S.S. Excalibur, refused their offer, the resulting battle left Morgan Primus dead and Lieutenant Mark McHenry, whose own powers over time and space had proved to be substantial, in a limbo beyond death.
Now, with a wounded ship and an injured crew, Captain Calhoun, along with Captain Shelby and the crew of the Trident, must face these god-like beings once again, with the fate of galactic civilization at stake.

In this sequel to the TOS episode "Who Mourns for Adonis", Captains Mackenzie Calhoun and Elizabeth Shelby go up against powerful beings who claim to be gods.
If you haven't read any of the New Frontier books, Gods Above isn't the place to start as it relies heavily on events from the preceding entry in the series. It also references events from the Gateway series. As I haven't read those books, I found it annoying that more explanation was not provided.

I found it very wearisome for non-humans to constantly use human colloquialisms. To single out the most egregious example: "The S Squad"? Would the letter S even EXIST in Thallonian or Vulcan languages? On the TV shows most aliens sort of have to come across as weirdly made-up humans because that's what they are, but prose shouldn't have that problem. However, smarmy anachronistic humor is unavoidable in even the best Peter David novels, so that's not a big deal by itself.
However, the ... Read More

Yes. This is the worst Star Trek book I've ever read.
The plot was interesting because I'd never heard of this new series before...but that was perhaps one of the few saving graces. Even the presence of Spock in the story could not entice me to actually read the entire book.
I'm rather astonished that the editors let this book through. Each paragraph flowed awkwardly, with jarring syntax. The author kept using some kind of "punch line" writing style. He would give just ... Read More

This was a pretty good follow up in the series, and the continuation of the events in Being Human, in which Mark McHenry was found to be a member of The Beings (like Apollo in the TOS episode "Who Mourns for Adonis?") and tells Captain Mackenzie Calhoun that Artemis is not to be trusted, resulting in the attack upon the Excalibur by the Beings. In this one, Mark McHenry is thought to be dead, and Morgan Primus is now integrated into the Excalibur's computer system because of an energy surge during the ... Read More

Like all the books in this series, it won't stand alone; if you haven't read what went before it, the beginning will seem rather confusing. But at least it (mostly) actually has an ending, which is rare for books in this series. (There is a teaser for the beginning of the next book's plot, but no major plotline left unsettled.) I suppose if I must choose between a book with no beginning and a book with no ending, I'll settle for one with no beginning, and this book is the finale to one of the best stories ... Read More
