The first thing that I noticed about this novel was that none of the characters really acted, or what was even more glaring, spoke like themselves. Data was the only one who even remotely seemed like himself. I think that the author was trying to get a certain character to sound more erudite while
In general the writing just seemed clunkier than the average Star Trek novel. Which made it a bit hard to get into.
The story was basic enough. Enterprise answers a distress call from a science station, and from there chaos ensues thanks to a new and interesting life form. Not a very unique Star Trek plot, though it does have its own different twists (and the autism subplot was interesting).
Still the writing was very hard to get past so that the book could be enjoyed. Instead at every turn and every new page I tripped over wrong sounding characters and mostly bad writing. A shame.
