7/5/2023 0 Comments Star trek prey book 3![]() ![]() Calling themselves “New Humans” - one of several nods, call backs, and allusions to Roddenberry’s novelization of The Motion Picture - these individuals have begun manifesting telepathic skills not seen before in humans. It’s very much like Bennett to stitch together disparate parts of the Star Trek canon with some thread you didn’t realize existed, and he is true to form in this novel and continues to be a master at reconciling Star Trek canon and continuity.Īs the mystery of the massacre of the Aenar unfolds, it is paired with a different mystery: the emergence of human telepaths in the wake of V’Ger’s arrival on Earth five years earlier. Kirk and the Enterprise are sent to investigate, and solicit the help of Miranda Jones and the Medusan ambassador Kollos from the Original Series episode “Is There in Truth No Beauty?” The novel begins with a tragedy: the massacre of the Aenar - the Andorian subspecies introduced in Star Trek: Enterprise - at the hands of a mysterious enemy. That book and The Higher Frontier serve as bookends for Kirk’s second five year mission Ex Machina picking up immediately following the end of The Motion Picture, and The Higher Frontier leading directly into the events of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. ![]() And that’s a shame with much of the world’s population currently in some form of self-isolation, what better time than to read a great Star Trek novel?Īnd The Higher Frontier delivers, providing all the Kirk/Spock/McCoy movie-era action that you could wish for.īennett has been slowly exploring The Motion Picture-era Enterprise crew since his first full-length Star Trek novel Ex Machina was published in 2005. Given everything going on in the world right now, The Higher Frontier has not received the attention it deserves. Set at the end of Kirk’s second five year mission aboard the Enterprise - which followed the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but preceded The Wrath of Khan - The Higher Frontier bridges the gaps between the two films in another sweeping tale that connects various parts of the Star Trek canon into a satisfying story. Bennett returns to his passion project of exploring the The Motion Picture era in the latest Star Trek novel, The Higher Frontier. ![]()
