I liked this book better than Dreadnought, probably because Carey delved into Piper's complicated relationship with the fascinating Sarda.

I first read this book in junior high and it is still my favorite.Both it and Dreadnaught are hilarious and exciting. For those you want more of Spock and Kirk, it may not be your favorite, but for those of us who fanticize about being in a star trek book, this is as close as you can get. I love Piper and all her friends.
Incredibly good!!

Piper is a wonderful character, and has very good chemistry with both the traditional and new characters. She shows ingenuity and versatility. The story line is engaging, and the book is a masterpiece. I recommend that you read the first novel in the Piper series, Dreadnaught, also.
