Product Description

Product Description

The Borg return -- with a vengeance! Blitzkreig attacks by the single-minded aliens with their hive mentality and their mission to assimilate every intelligent being they encounter are leaving whole worlds aflame. No one knows how they are slipping past Starfleet's defences, so Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the Enterprise crew are detailed to find out -- and to put a stop to it if they can. Meanwhile, thousands of light years away, Captain Will Riker and the crew of the Titan follow bizarre energy pulses to a mysterious, hidden world. There they find a figure out of legend: a Starfleet captain long thought dead. And at the same time, over in the Gamma Quadrant, newly promoted Captain Dax and her crew investigate the wreck of the Earth starship Columbia NX-02, missing in action for more than two centuries.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent opener, 12 Dec 2008
By Alex Webb - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The first installment of what is a superb trilogy. The pacing is good and 4 separate stories a well written. They mysteries are set well and Caeliar are interesting race.
I found Deannas characterisation puzzling, her insistence and drive seem puzzling having her watched character grow over the series.
All in all a good scene setter

4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping opening chapter..., 24 Jan 2009
By Mr. C. Evans "master geek" (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read books 2 and 3. David Mack is an excellent author, he brings an Arthur C. Clarke style of mystique to his stories which are well suited to the printed page section of the Star Trek unvierse (be sure to check out the Star Trek: Vanguard series if you enjoy this, two of the three books so far were written by Mack).

The Borg have truly been restored as the greatest Trek foe returning to the relentless and unstoppable threat as presented in TNG. As another reviewer has pointed out you do feel that a major confrontation with the Borg is being held back until perhaps book 3 (but to be fair that would make perfect sense).

Having thoroughly enjoyed the last Enterprise novel, "Kobayashi Maru" it was great to find that Columbia and her crew play a major part in the story (be sure to check that out before reading this too) and ties in well to the superbly executed Enterprise E/Voyager/DS9/Titan crossover.

Although a little slow in parts this is non the less a great read and I'm excited to see how the trilogy unfolds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for the timid..., 11 Jan 2009
By M. R. Munter (Apeldoorn, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Borg are back... once again. As was to be expected, they have developed into even more resourceful and therefore dangerous foes. In part, this story has (in chronological order) already developed to some extent in J.M. Dillard's 'Resistance', Peter David's 'Before dishonor' and Christopher L. Bennett's 'Greater than the Sum'. Anyone interested in the latest Borg developments in the Star Trek universe would do well to read these previous installments before venturing forth and reading the 'Destiny' trilogy.

'Gods of Night' is the first part of the 'Destiny' trilogy. The story alternates between 4 different Star Fleet ships, one of which was lost centuries before the Borg were first encountered. So apart from the grim nature of the renewed Borg attack, the story is somewhat demanding because the reader is required to keep track of these 4 different storylines. There were times when I wasn't really sure who belonged on what ship, I must admit.

Although the book is certainly well-written, I found it hard to escape the impression that the main course (the conflict with the Borg) is more or less put on hold for the later two books. That is not necessarily a bad thing, since this means that many more personal developments had a chance to come to fruition here.

Alltogether an enjoyable (but challenging) read, although final judgment will have to be postponed until the other books have been read as well.
