Query: An Exciting "Pilot"

"Taking Wing," the first in a new series of novels, chronicles the exploits of Captain Riker and his diverse crew as Starfleet returns to its old mandate of exploration. The plot of the story isn't overly complicated and the end resolution is a little out of left field. However, fast pacing and plot progression make "Taking Wing" quite the page turner. There is a plethora of new characters to discover which adds to the book's appeal, especially if you're fond of origin stories.One gripe I had with the novel was a tendency to overemphasize the diverse number of species that make-up the Titan's crew. While having such a prodigious number of aliens could be interesting, the authors put too fine a point on the subject. And the phrase, "Celebrate our differences," is a sure way to induce eye-rolling. Nevertheless, the story is brimming with political intrigue and tense action. Highly recommended for all Next Generation fans.
