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.
