Star Trek: A Singular Destiny

Star Trek: A Singular Destiny, by Keith R. A. DeCandido

Star Trek: A Singular Destiny follows the fallout from the events in the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy. The devastation from the Borg attacks encompasses the entire Federation and its allies. And as the Federation and Klingon Empire are stretched to their limits with refugee aide efforts, some are joining forces to take advantage. Professor Sonek Pran is asked to become an attaché for the Federation President, after years of being ignored. While on assignment aboard the Aventine, Pran begins to unravel a plot of sabotage and subterfuge that could mean disaster for the Federation.

While a vast majority of the novel is political dealings and conversations, A Singular Destiny is extremely fascinating. And while there isn’t a lot of action, the story is never slow.

Sonek Pran is an absorbing character, with a diverse background. As the central character in the story, he is the one to discover the great mystery and is integral in several negotiations. He is complex and is by far the most enjoyable new character to the Trek universe that I’ve read in a while.

Be sure to have read the Destiny trilogy before picking this one up. But make to pick this one up as well, since A Singular Destiny will be paving the way for big things to come in the Star Trek universe. I, for one, am extremely excited to see where it leads.
