Yikes! This book is haunting, even as more history has happened since its initial publication in 2012. The evidence about the subject helps to paint a portrait of the man – something that we still see even today.

The plots in this series are increasingly ridiculous.

Fantastic read! It felt like something built on top of other literary works, but adding something new and interesting. I could not put it down!

Too complicated

This book is the first in a series, and you can tell the author intends for the plot to stretch out. I suppose it will be a foundation for future books, but this one is just too complicated. Too many threads, too many jarring changes in the narrative. I made myself finish it just to be stubborn, but I don't think I'd recommend it to others.

Fairly pedestrian fare for Star Trek books. No original ideas, but an amusing adventure anyway. Still, it’s peppered too liberally with gratuitous space-y terminology where it’s not necessary and some character actions just don’t seem plausible.
