I really enjoyed this trilogy but found each volume more and more complicated to follow. I'm sure that's my problem, but it's, as the Doctor would say, full of “wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff” and there are so many threads I found it impossible to keep track of it all in my mind. It's still a great read though.
Probably the worst ST book I've read and the worst in this really rather poor series. I know it's a wagon train to the stars, but the characters feel wooden and like they've just been plucked from cowboy films. Everyone is American, their dialog so dated and the baddies easily subdued. It's very very poor.
