                    A long-dead feud is restarted via a Gateway and the bloody 
                    war that ensues threats to destabilise a once-quiet region 
                    of space. Trapped in the middle of the violent conflict are 
                    the Star Ships Excalibur and Trident... 
                  Cold 
                    Wars is a meaty volume - over 350 closely-typed pages. 
                    Fortunately, the book justifies its wordage, partly because 
                    the author lets us learn about events in a natural and engrossing 
                    way. However, the majority of the characters seem to have 
                    been cut from some rather stiff Star Fleet cloth which stifles, 
                    rather than hightens, some of the dramatic plot points. Not 
                    that I want Nelix along for the ride, but a more fallible 
                    group of players would have made for a more engrossing read. 
                     
                  But 
                    overall Cold Wars is a solid yarn and the device used 
                    for the chapter headings is quite a nice idea, albeit pointless.
