By: L. A. Graf Captain Kirk's latest voyage has brought him far into the final frontier. His new mission: to help a determined band of pioneers colonize a harsh and unforgiving world, defend the vulnerable settlers from the constant threat of alien invasion, and protect the planet's unique and precious resources for the sake of the entire Federation! Months after their departure from Earth, the struggling colonists have barely established a precarious toehold on Belle Terre, a ravaged world still recovering from a catastrophic planetary disaster. Fierce cyclones, storms, landslides, and flash floods make survival itself a never ending challenge. While Captain Kirk and the Starship Enterprise patrol the sector, on guard against predatory aliens and greedy space pirates, officers Chekov, Uhura, and Sulu stay behind to assist the hapless settlers in their desperate battle to put down roots in the turbulent soil of an angry planet. But the imperiled colonists are a fractious and intensely individualistic group, not inclined to take orders or direction from their Starfleet guardians. Chekov and the others find their ingenuity and diplomatic skills tested to their limits - to save a people who don't want their help!
This was a s-l-o-w story! In fact, at about half way through, I stopped reading. I lost complete interest in the story. The story focuses on Chekov, Uhura, Sulu and Scotty and their respective duties helping the colonists set up the colony and is one long, boring page after another. Chekov gets into plenty of trouble, but it does little to improve the story. I'll finish reading it eventually, but I had to move on to the next book in the series. U P D A T E : After finishing the 6th book, I still can't make myself go back and finish reading #3, and it made no difference when I started reading #4. I picked up the story without any problem.
