Fire on High (Star Trek New Frontier, No 6)
BethG avatar reviewed on + 108 more book reviews


This is book six in the Star Trek: New Frontier series that follows the adventures of the starship Excalibur under Captain Makenzie Calhoun.

The crew of the Excalibur is having a bad week. Lt. Lafleur's supposedly dead mother has been found in prison on a distant world. There is something living in the warp core and a planet that should have 5 to 6 billion inhabitants now has just one.

Add to that the usual personal conflicts of a very varied crew, like the fact that the Vulcan doctor just went through Pon Farr, mating with the hermat engineer. And everyone keeps asking the other Vulcan crew member for advice on matters of the heart. Well, it is really just another ordinary mission on Excalibur.
