Good book, arrived on time worth the money. I once I started and I couldn't stop reading it.

For those who enjoy a good Sci-Fi Interstellar Action-story, Star Trek-New Frontier: Treason; by Peter David is well written & draws the reader into the drama with insightful characters & suspenseful alliteration. I highly recommended the entire Star Trek-New Frontier series.

This book is a good read, a perfectly acceptable addition to the New Frontier series; if you've read all of the others prior to this, you'll probably want to read this one. If you haven't read to this point in the series, you'll definitely want to start elsewhere; like most of the series, this book does not stand on its own. What is particularly annoying is that apparently, Peter David branched out into graphic novels, and the entry into the series prior to this one is said graphic novel. So merely having read all of the REAL books in the series isn't sufficient; in order to be up on what's going on coming into this book, you need to have read the graphic novel. This is annoying for two reasons: one, I don't read comic books any more, and "graphic novel" is just a euphemism for "overpriced comic book". Two, in the list of "New Frontier Novels by Peter David, In Chronological order" that appears at the beginning of this book, the Graphic Novel is not listed, so there was no way of knowing that one was missing part of the lead-in by going directly from "Missing In Action" to this one. It didn't leave me TOO lost; I was more or less able to follow what was happening, but I did have the definite impression that I was missing something. A previous reviewer's comment explained what had happened to me.
I'm giving this book three stars because it was too well-written for me to feel comfortable giving it less, and I've always enjoyed Peter David's writing, and most of the characters and plots in this series. But if we're going to be left missing some of the story if we don't buy graphic novels, I think I'm going to have to give up on this series.

When you look back on Peter David's novels, he really does have an impressive track record, especially with the New Frontier series. Somewhere around the Restoration book, David lost the cohesion of the crew and the direction began to flounder.
His latest venture, Treason, feels especially directionless. It's just a bunch of stuff that happens. David used to bring different threads from the Star Trek universe together and he used to be brilliant with that. I feel like he's still trying to tie everything together, but utterly without inspiration. If you're looking for another David homerun, try elsewhere. Try David Mack's new Destiny trilogy.
David Mack has taken Peter David's place as the king of Trek.

I find that Peter David books are always worth the wait. Treason is an outstanding Star Trek novel. Filled with great characters, humor and surprises. All your favorites are back with a whole new adventure. If you have been looking for the fun and adventure in your Star Trek reading as I have, this is the book to get.
