In
the wake of the Tholian attack that nearly cost him his life,
Kyle Riker becomes the target of an apparent conspiracy within
Starfleet Command, forcing him off Earth and beyond Federation
territory to evade the attempts on his life. At the same time,
the Starfleet career of Kyle's estranged son William Riker
is under way in earnest, from his turbulent formative years
at the Academy to his first perilous missions as an ensign
aboard the Starship Pegasus. And even as Kyle searches for
the truth behind the events that have made him a fugitive,
Will is pursued as well - by a family legacy he fears he will
never escape...
Deny
Thy Father sees
the release of another cracking novel in The Lost Era
series of Trek books. This time around we get to delve
into the back history of the turbulent relationship, or lack
of, between William T. Riker and his father.
As
with most good Trek novels, this is not a book about
Trek, more an exploration into the human condition
- what affect did Kyle's life have on his son? It's also interesting
for anyone interested in mapping out William's days at the
Academy. Although, it's a little scary to see how arrogant
and self assured he is. Why doesn't he help his friend when
he comes to him in his hour of need. Sure he may be a bit
of a waster, but he is in the Academy and so must be good
for something.
Nit-pickers
amongst you will no doubt question why the son of such an
outlaw was ever allowed to pursue such a high flying career
in Starfleet, but worry not Jeff Mariotte has all the answers
- it's also good to see him include the appearance of a young
ensign known as Janeway.
Another
entertaining addition to the series.
