Star Trek: S.C.E. #3: Hard Crash
by Christie Golden
A mysterious and powerful ship crash lands on the surface of a populated planet. When the S.C.E. crew investigates, they find the ship's deceased pilot (and only occupant) physically connected to the ship. While an autopsy reveals possible connections to the Borg, the crashed ship becomes active and begins to fire on the da Vinci.
What at first appears to be a sinister threat reveals itself to be something much more complex, in this surprisingly moving third entry in the S.C.E. series. Once again, 110, the Bynar whose mate was killed in the first book in the series, plays a significant role and is more or less the hero of the story. We also learn a bit more about the personal lives of some of the da Vinci's crew, particularly the linguist Bart Faulwell. Another solid entry in this entertaining series of short novels.

The following Star Trek book will be available later this month:
Star Trek: New Frontier #18: Blind Man's Bluff (mass market paperback edition, previously published in trade paperback)
by Peter David
available: 12/27/11
From the Publisher:
Captain MacKenzie Calhoun has faced incredible odds before, but nothing he has ever experienced could prepare him for the simultaneous threats from two of the most destructive forces he’s ever encountered. The first is the D’myurj—a mysterious and powerful alien race bent on either the complete domination of humanity or its destruction . . . a potentially massive risk to the very foundations of Starfleet, one that goes so deep it’s impossible to determine whom to trust. The second is even more alarming: Morgan Primus, once a living creature with a soul and a conscience, now an incredibly sophisticated computer simulation taking up residence within the very core of the U.S.S. Excalibur . . . and quickly becoming a growing menace for the Federation. MacKenzie Calhoun is playing a dangerous game as he attempts to outwit and outmaneuver these new enemies, with the fate of the Excalibur crew members and potentially the lives of billions at stake. . . .
