My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Yet another in the sequence of books filling in the gap between Star Trek: Insurrection and Nemesis.
But an interesting story line about genetic nature vs. environmental influences (here, biology--think the episode "This Side of Paradise" of the original series, though more elegant than plants with a tendency to behave like they are a shotgun), family dynamics, and urban warfare. Oh, and a deep thread of suspicious activity at Starfleet Command. Yes, boys and girls, this is after the Dominion War, and the flavor is much more Deep Space Nine than the sunlight and high-mindedness of the first two series.
Not the best ST novel I've read (which would be Fallen Heroes), but also not the worst (too many contenders).
