Continuing the milestone 50th anniversary celebration of Star Trek—an epic new trilogy that stretches from the events of The Original Series movie The Search for Spock to The Next Generation!

The Klingon-Federation alliance is in peril as never before. Lord Korgh has seized control of the House of Kruge, executing a plot one hundred years in the making. The Klingon cult known as the Unsung rampages across the stars, striking from the shadows in their cloaked Birds-of-Prey. And the mysterious figure known as Buxtus Cross launches a scheme that will transform the Klingon Empire forever.

Into danger flies Admiral William T. Riker and the USS Titan, charged with protecting the peace forged nearly a century before during the Khitomer Accords. Aided by Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the USS Enterprise, Riker and his officers scour the stars, seeking to find the Unsung and uncover the truth behind the conspiracy before time runs out.

Yet even as Commander Worf departs on a deeply personal mission of honor, hidden sinister forces seek to turn the crisis to their advantage. And the conspirators’ plans threaten to spiral out of control, jeopardizing the very empire they aspire to rule. Aventure Fiction Militaire Premier contact Science-fiction Space opéra Star Trek

I really liked this book. Lots of payoff from the previous book. Twists, turns, new characters, and it continued to make me feel for characters on all sides. Korg, Cross, Shift, Volandris, Rodaq, Gaw, they're all just as interesting and maybe even more so then established characters.

There's even the Typhon Pact Powers making a bigger appearance. And some good action.

I didn't want to stop listening to this one

John Jackson Miller continues his 'Star Trek: Prey' trilogy with a clever tale where a criminal illusionist/empath impersonates a legendary warrior (and others) to keep a rebel faction of Klingon exiles trying to destroy the Klingon-Federation alliance. The book is steeped in Gene Rodenberry's lore and introduces species after species in an expansive depiction of Admiral William Riker and Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Tuvok the Vulcan's challenges keeping fragile treaties intact. The book isn't as action-packed as book one or as "believable" (I had some trouble suspending disbelief on this one. Yes, I know the entire Federation of Planets concept is as fictional as one can get.. but Jackson-Miller expects quite a lot from his readers).. but I enjoyed this story.

Also fortuitous for audiobook aficionados, Simon & Schuster Audio Inc. enlisted Robert Petkoff to read the book. Some of his species interpretations are a bit questionable, but Petkoff is an otherwise outstanding narrator.

Altogether, I give 'The Jackal's Trick' 5.5 stars out of 10. The book is aimed at überfans of the Star TrekTM universe - and it's the weakest book of the Trilogy - but it's also quite enjoyable for anyone familiar with the Movies + Television shows that established a genuinely imaginative/entertaining Space Opera platform.

[Incidentally: these books have made me realize what a casual Trek fan I am. I had no idea that Worf had a son or that Riker and Troy were married]

Well-Conceived Follow-Up
