Product Description:
On Earth, Federation President Nanietta Bacco gathers allies and adversaries to form a desperate last line of defense against an impending Borg invasion. In deep space, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Captain Ezri Dax join together to cut off the Collective's route to the Alpha Quadrant.
Half a galaxy away, Captain William Riker and the crew of the Starship Titan have made contact with the reclusive Caeliar -- survivors of a stellar cataclysm that, two hundred years ago, drove fissures through the structure of space and time, creating a loop of inevitability and consigning another captain and crew to a purgatory from which they could never escape.
Now the supremely advanced Caeliar will brook no further intrusion upon their isolation, or against the sanctity of their Great Work....For the small, finite lives of mere mortals carry little weight in the calculations of gods.
But even gods may come to understand that they underestimate humans at their peril.

Not only Mere Mortals but the complete trilogy "Destiny" is great. The way that so many questions are answered regarding the borgs and how the whole ordeal is close is creative, sound and interesting. I will recommend this for every TNG fan even though the Picard that is presented is a shadow of the one I remember from the TV series...of course all fits according to the history but is the one thing that kept me sometimes wondering... this somber and pesimistic guy is just not the same captain I recall ...

Although slightly darker than Book 1: Gods of Night, Book 2: Mere Mortals retains the excitement, the emotion, and the storytelling excellence that I've come to expect from works by Trek novelist David Mack.
The characterizations were genuine and the plot was captivating from page one onward. Mack has an impeccable understanding of the Star Trek universe and uses it to make the book come to life with believable dialogue and detailed narration. For instance, during a triage scene, the meticulous ... Read More

After the events in the first novel, I eagerly downloaded this book to my kindle. This book delivers.
This book is well written, David Mack knows what he's doing. The action is good, the plot development comes at a nice pace. The characters almost all interesting, though I cant help but feel a couple of them have lost some personality, that might be on account of the scope of the series.
Get this one, and the next one, it really is great.... I'm just not sure why they didnt put them ... Read More

Middle entries in trilogies tend to be full of boring filler. Volume I raises the questions that will be answered in Volume III, leaving Volume II to do ... what, exactly? A successful Volume II deepens the story, answering a few of the questions raised in Volume I and posing some new ones. In the initial STAR WARS trilogy, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK does this successfully, and MERE MORTALS, the second entry in the STAR TREK DESTINY trilogy, does it as well.
The highlight of the novel is the thread focusing ... Read More

Star Trek: Destiny, Mere Mortals, could not be a better continuation of the adventures started in book one. As one reads, the details of the story seems to come together slowly, boiling down to a specific idea/climax.
The characters are very real, with the author painting an authentic picture of how the Federation would deal with a threat to it's existance.
