Description

A Flag Full Of Stars It has been eighteen months since the Starship Enterprise completed her historic five-year mission and her legendary crew has seperated, taking new assignments that span the galaxy. On Earth, Admiral James T.

i was still excited from reading the previous book in the lost years saga when i picked up this book. So naturally when I started to read I was expecting a story about Kirk, Spock and McCoy. However the book follows Just Kirk in a tale of his life as an admiral, the previous book had a happy ending

and Kirk seemed to be adjusting well to his new Promotion. This book however takes of roughly a year after the previous one. The happy ending that had been delivered by "the lost years" had grown sour and once again Kirk finds himself lusting after a starship, ignoring his new marriage in order to refit the enterprise.
Where as Spock and McCoy are nowhere to be found.
The book seemed to drag and I dint not start to enjoy it till I had made it half way through the book. I enjoyed the storyline for G'dath and his students, I just wished that there were more familiar characters. All in all the story was a good read. Not a brilliant one.
