Product Description:
To protect the cargo ships essential to the continuing existence of the fledgling Coalition of Planets, the captains of the United Earth's Starfleet are ordered to interstellar picket duty, with little more to do than ask "Who goes there?" into the darkness of space.
Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise™ seethes with frustration, wondering if anyone else can see what he sees. A secret, closed, militaristic society, convinced that their survival hangs by a thread, who view their neighbors as a threat to their very existence -- the Spartans of ancient Greece, the Russians of the old Soviet Union, the Koreans under Kim Il-sung -- with only one goal: attain ultimate power, no matter the cost. The little-known, never-seen Romulans seem to live by these same principles.
The captain realizes that the bond between the signers of the Coalition charter is fragile and likely to snap if pushed. But he knows that the Romulans are hostile, and he believes they are the force behind the cargo ship attacks. If asked, Archer can offer no proof without endangering his friend's life.
To whom does he owe his loyalty: his friend, his world, the Coalition? And by choosing one, does he not risk losing all of them? What is the solution to a no-win scenario?

Boy, talk about your ups and downs...I do like the fact that they are keeping the ST Enterprise universe going...and do like some of the references that are made (e.g. the reference to the Iotians, although I did see that one coming as soon as I read the words "imitative species"...
However, I agree with most of the other reviews, in that the story line takes forever to develop in some spots...the title of the book is clearly not indicative of the story...and the character development ... Read More

this book is exciting from page one. if your a trekie nerd like me and was highly disappointed how the enterprise series ended so abruptly this book along with "The Good That Men Do (Star Trek: Enterprise)" set about to fix what was poorly done on the last episodes. i cant stop reading this book. its so good.

Little did we know that Archer and crew encountered this vessel that was the basis of the test at Starfleet Academy. I was impressed by Mangel's and Martin's grasp of the characters. Especially the situation the Maru got itself into that required this crew to be saved. Reading this book, it's like the TV show never stopped. I would recommend this set of authors above many of the others. Other than that it's a great read for those of you who didn't like the writing of the TV show.

This book takes a while to get going, and there are some problems for the avid ST book reader as far as characters, but that stuff can be easily dismissed because the book is an okay read. I still think the best Kobaishi Maru story is contained in New Frontier-Stone and Anvil. Anyway, with this name you would think you won't be able to put it down...but believe me, you will.
Personally, it's a book that leaves off where the most exciting part will happen in the sequel, and it's almost ... Read More

This book had so much potential, but was a terrific disappointment. The story itself was hard to read and not say, "sorry how can that have happened way back then?" I was able to keep reading, despite the problems with continuity between this and the original series. I kept thinking there would be some explanation that would make it all work out. The characters were not written very well and did things... well, out of character (and it really seems a stretch to introduce homosexual Klingons after all ... Read More
