Summary: A sequel to #32, "Chain of Attack".
Review: "Chain of Attack" stands well on its own, and it is not necessary to read this book to "complete" the story told there. This book, on the other hand, would make significantly less sense if one had not previously read "Chain of Attack". Less, but not none; it is possible to read this book without that one, and simply to assume that the backstory is one that hasn't been told. This story can, in fact, stand on its own.Which is good, because it's an extremely good story; the regular characters are handled well, a couple of new characters that are added for spice are interesting and worthwhile, and the story itself is a fast-moving, well-paced story that is very well written. It's one of the best "Enterprise saves the universe as we know it" stories that I've ever read; it actually manages to be almost plausible.

Summary: Bad Sequel
Review: In this one we get to hear themes that have been repeated in the movie series. The first is with the Nexus thing where people are lost in a different level of reality. The other is the dead space that is mentioned and used again in Maximum Warp. This novel is proof that the concepts are recyled in other series of Trek. The story takes a long time to get started and there are no momemts between the characters. It could have been a lot better if it were a short story as part of an anthology. If written today it would have been a six part series of novels.

Summary: from back of book
Review: Star Trek #43-Sequel to 'Chain Of Attack'. Uncounted centuries ago, an unknown race from beyond our galaxy created a series of interstellar gates-shortcuts across out universe-and then disappeared, leaving behind no clues to their fate, or the operation of their systems. Twice before, the Enterprise has used the system to traverse the galaxy, and returned each time no wiser to the gates of the operation. Now it is imperative that they find out. For the gates are breaking down, taking the very stars in the sky with them. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of the Enterprise crew, and their ability to communicate not only with creatures from another world-but from another universe as well.
