I have just finished the trilogy and have been blown away by the ending (i won't spoil it, suffice to say, it's awesome). This has to be the most audacious piece of Trek fiction i have ever read, whoever comissioned this must have had some guts, because it could so easily have blown up in their face. This i believe will become highly controversial (if it hasn't already) as a result of the ending. My only qualms were that the pace was a bit too slow in places and that i can't help but feel it would have made a better duology than a trilogy (a tightening of the action wouldn't have gone amiss and some of the caeliar flashbacks felt unneccessary and clunky). Generally superb though with a classic cliffhanger at the end of book 2. I read them all in one go and sturggled only at the beginning of the third book. Brave concepts, Classic battles and a seemingly undefeatable foe make this trilogy as close to an epic legend as star trek fiction will probably ever get.

I loved this book, I loved this trilogy. I hope David or another author continues with Captain Dax. I will however miss the Borg, they have always been my favorite race and it is hard to imagine a Star Trek without them. I was fully satisfied with the way everything came about. The only negative I have about this trilogy was the lack of Voyager. They are mentioned and used only a few times but never a main part of the story.

I read all three books in this series and enjoy them all. Sometimes it was not easy reading a chapter since we are dealing with numerous ships and crews. But it was worth it reading them all. The author did a super job.

I read this book as slowly as I possibly could. I tried to savor every word of this novel, every tear-inducing sentence, every heart-pounding paragraph...but it still flew past my eyes in a flurry of frantic page turns as my anxiety to reach the climax of the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy surged to a maximum. It was too much. Before I knew it, the book lay at my feet, finished, done.
This book is unmatched by any Star Trek novel I've read before. I'd have given it six stars if that were possible. The pace and rhythm of the storytelling is perfect, the diction fantastic, and the plot as riveting as the best Trek movies and episodes. At times, it was so bewitching that I felt as if the book were being sung to me by some ethereal spirit. At others, it was as dramatic as sitting in the front row of a grand theatre while the events of Lost Souls were performed before my mind's eye.
But what I love most about Destiny is that it brings out the best of Star Trek. In the end, it's not about space, it's not about technology. It's about us--you and me--and the struggles we face as humans, as sentient and responsible beings in this evolving universe. Author David Mack captures this crucial essence of Star Trek in powerful dialogue and deep examinations of the characters in this book. He brings to life what I find to be one of Star Trek's most important messages: the courage to have optimism, compassion, and hope in the face of insurmountable odds.
The Star Trek: Destiny series has been both a pleasure and a wonder to read. A new door has been opened in the Star Trek universe. Go explore it!

Its sad to pick this book up, knowing its the last of the series. By this time I think everyone had figured out the inevitable conclusion, if not the exact mechanics of working it out. Its still a great read. Coming to the end of it, I wish David Mack could write all the follow ups as he really did add some dimension to what I thought had been a stale franchise. I havent purchased the next book, just because I know it will be dissapoint compared to Davids epic trilogy.
