Roll Call: The Crew of the U.S.S. Excalibur: Captain Mackenzie Calhoun: An unorthodox, decisive young captain who loves his crew and his ship, and loves testing their limits even more. Commander... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The second book in a series of four introductory novels within the "New Frontier" series is both character and action-packed, introducing the readers to the Excalibur crew left untouched in the first volume. Excalibur has launched on her mission to Sector 221-G, and her commanders are hard at work sorting out personnel issues ranging from stowaways to the helmsman. But when a refugee transport loses power, it's Excalibur's job to save the ship -- and the people aboard. "New Frontier", the first Star Trek series to be centered around non-canon characters, is, in my humble opinion, some of the best Trek fiction on the market. The characters, plots, and characters are all stunningly executed by one of Trek's best authors. 8.5/10
The Journey Continues

This sequal to the House of Cards has made me a true fan of the New Frontier series. The story is great, as well as the characters, that are both from previous Star Trek tv shows and from past books, or just new from Peter David's head. Be sure to have the next book ready to go.
Excellent continuation

I was very anxious to read this continuation of the first book in this series. The only thing that let me down is that he left me hanging, waiting to read the third book.

It's only 150 pgs, and needs to be more!! Can't wait for this future installments of this new series. Peter David has always been able to bring action, humor, and good characters together into a fast-moving format. And an interesting cliff-hanger at the end....
A new ship for Trek junkies with no television "bible".
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Despite the annoying publishing tactic of splitting one novel into four parts, the new series is a must read for Trek junkies. Without the televised framework of other Trek novels, you truly get the feeling that this series can go "boldly where no other ship has gone." The characters feel like old friends, with the potential of future conflict, love, and adventure. Let's hope the series continues - in full-size novels
