I read and reviewed each of the two books collected here separately, so this is really just for my own records. I did not like either of them - I can't get on with the characters, and because of that I don't care about anything else.

The unfortunate thing is that, over the years, I've read a number of Star Trek books by this author and I've enjoyed them... but all that liking goes straight out the window with his New Frontier series. Oh well. I can't like everything, and a number of other reviews rate NF highly, so at least some people are enjoying it.
