Product Description:
The Taurus Reach is in turmoil.
With tensions mounting between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, Ambassador Jetanien works frantically on Starbase Vanguard to halt the escalation toward war. Commodore Diego Reyes, the station's former commander, awaits trial for treason, while the shattered mind of his intelligence officer, T'Prynn, becomes the battlefield in a fight for her very life.
But even as matters deteriorate, the discoveries made in the Taurus Reach have captured the imagination of one of the Federation's most promising scientific minds: Dr. Carol Marcus believes she is close to solving a puzzle that will transform her life's work. Meanwhile, an unexpected defection brings a new perspective to the investigation, and Vanguard's Lieutenant Ming Xiong is confronted with an artifact that could be the key to decoding the TaurusMeta-Genome.
But with Operation Vanguard teetering between its greatest breakthrough and a conflict that could engulf two quadrants, its future may depend on the man Starfleet has selected to replace Reyes as base commander: Admiral Heihachiro Nogura.

I have enjoyed the Vanguard series more than most recent Trek novels. Great characters, and an intriguing setting. This novel starts the new arc, and as a result a lot of time is spent getting the pieces to the proper places for the rest of the arc.
Reinforcing my theory that in most licensed fiction there are only a few dozen people in the universe, we see Admiral Nogura and Carol Marcus. And Kirk and the Enterprise are mentioned a couple of times.
The most disappointing ... Read More

Dayton Ward ties up the loose ends left over from Reap the Whirlwind in the latest novel in the Vanguard series, Open Secrets. Commodore Reyes was arrested at the end of the previous book for allowing classified information to be disseminated by a reporter, and we get the fallout from that decision here. T'Prynn, intelligence officer who had a mental breakdown, suffers her malady and, of course, eventually recovers. The saga of the Shedai artifacts and the search for information continues as well. But ... Read More

I wanted to continue this series, but this book is too poorly written for me to read. I only got about 25% of the way through and had to give up. I kept trying, but found I could not keep it up for more than about a half hour at a time. I tried skimming/speed reading it, and even that didn't work.
As others have mentioned, this author desperately needs a copy of Strunk and White, as well as some basic English comp courses. The writing is exruciatingly tedious, full of unnecessary phrases, ... Read More

STAR TREK VANGUARD: OPEN SECRETS is the fourth entry in the VANGUARD series, and the second written by Dayton Ward. It wraps up a two important plotlines set in motion in its predecessor, REAP THE WHIRLWIND -- the court martial of Commodore Reyes and the internal mental battle of Lt. Cmdr. T'Prynn. The former is handled in a perfunctory, by-the-numbers fashion, while the latter is more interesting, entailing a trip to an oddball Vulcan commune, a fight between T'Prynn's ex-fiance Sten and healer Sobon, and an ...

/sarcasm on
As some others here who have reviewed this book Star Trek Vanguard: Open Secrets have said in their reviews that they did on the book the author of this book stuffed this book that he wrote with many unnecessary words that did not need to be used and could have been trimmed out of the book that he wrote.
One would guess who would guess as such things and or hope for those who would hope for such things as well this was done intentionally or unintentionally to fill the word ... Read More
