As a (massive) Star Trek fan, I'd put off reading this book for a while as I was worried it would be a little condescending towards it. It was actually quite the opposite. A really good story oozing with affection for the obvious inspirational source material. Really inventive in parts with enough nods to trends and tropes inherent in scifi space operas to give it a really familiar feel. The only real criticism I have is that the characters themselves were pretty one-dimensional. This may have been because they were extras within their own show, and as such didn't have too much personality, but I found myself, towards the end of the book caring more about how clever the resolution would be rather than if the main players would all make it to the finish line. That said, a good story that was an easy read and ultimately very enjoyable.
