adventurous dark fast-paced

3.0

I will say this for the Dunedin public library - which is a fantastic library! - they have a huge number of Star Trek books. There's so many of them they even have their own section in stack, as well as what's on the public shelves. Over the years someone in acquisitions has clearly been a fan, and given I'm in Dunedin for the next twelve months I'm hoping to get through a good many of them.

This is the first of a mini-series of six, all themed around biological weapons and plague. This volume's the TNG crew, set in the first year of that series, and it's a fast-paced, exciting read. I'm looking forward to the rest of them, as it's likely to prioritise the doctors in each series and I always tend to enjoy stories involving them doing actual medicine as opposed to, for instance, shacking up with the ghost lover of your dead grandmother, Beverly. That was such a dreadful episode, but Crusher is in her (medical) element here and it's a big improvement.
