About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a smaller-scale Star Trek story focused on ethics, loyalty, and a bit of light romance, like Star Trek: The Next Generation; Not for you if you need nonstop action or a fast, twisty plot.

Pros: thoughtful moral dilemma; familiar crew moments; late action uptick | Cons: slow pacing; thin story; awkward humor
