Product Description:
Following the dramatic conclusion of AFTER THE FALL the crew of the USS Excalibur are lost in space, somehow thrown headlong into the mysteries and dangers of the distant Andromeda Galaxy - and no sooner do they arrive than they are caught up in the middle of a genocidal interstellar war. Now Captain Mackenzie Calhoun - who himself grew up a freedom fighter battling the forces of an aggressive conqueror - must decide where his true loyalties lie. Should he save an oppressed race from certain destruction? Or ally himself with the violent alien warriors who offer the only hope of getting Excalibur home again.

This is an extremely fine installment of the "New Frontier" series. As usual, Peter David does a fine job of creating and developing characters, keeping several fine plots going simultaneously, with excellent pacing and a fine blend of action and drama without losing his sense of humor. As usual, I've docked it one star for failing to be a complete novel in its own right; it starts in the middle of the action from the last book. If you LIKE serialized, "come back next time for the conclusion" stories, ... Read More

When I closed the cover of Missing in Action, I said to myself- literally outloud- "Now that's good storytelling."
I've come to expect that with PAD's Star Trek New Frontier series, but MIA is the best one yet.
Slight SPOILERS to follow:
In MIA, Calhoun finds himself and the crew of his ship, The Excalibur, sucked into a distant universe where the laws of physics are not what we are accustomed to. Space is gelatinous rather than a vacuum and the creatures ... Read More

Peter David has steadily improved his "New Frontiers" universe, and this novel is a fun "pot boiler" adventure. David is unafraid to shake up his universe in each novel, and "MIA" is no exception.

Now that the "New Frontiers" universe is well established, it no longer takes this reader much time to recall each individual character and their particular story arc, and that's (for me) a good sign that ...

Why, it's series hero Captain McKenzie Calhoun and his entire ship Excalibur, along with remaining crew members that have been at his side for the whole New Frontier saga. It seems beings from a different universe grabbed one or more of the feared Borg and got hold of their tranwarp conduit technology and sucked Mac & Crew over into their side. Left to figure out what happened to their former skipper and save him are his wife Elizabeth Shelby, now an Admiral after gaining command of her own ship (being less of ... Read More

If you've never read Peter David's Star Trek novels and you like Star Trek (or fondly remember the original series), you should give it a go, and the MacKenzie Calhoun series of New Frontier is unmatched (and the opinion is not certainly mine alone, as this has been a best-selling series and it's not based directly on any of the TV shows or movies). Mr. David's writing displays an uncanny sense of humour, a fantastic grasp of the Star Trek universe, an amazing ability to grow characters from the many Star Trek ... Read More
