![]() ![]() ![]() I needed a book to read while travelling and this was all I had on my phone that I hadn't read and I didn't want to spend a ton of time trying to figure out what to read. Mother fucking fuck you again, David Mack. That's something that I liked a lot by his work on "The Fall" where A Ceremony of Losses ( SEE REVIEW HERE ) that it was the third book of a five-part event and David Mack was able to develop the strongest novel of the event and also with the additional value that it can be read as stand-alone story too.ĭefinitely this is an excellent novel highly recommended to any fan of the characters of Data and/or Noonien Soong, but also recommended to any reader interested in a very good Star Trek novel. One formidable thing about this novel by David Mack, is that regardless that it's the first book of a trilogy, the novel can be read as a stand-alone story if you wish. This is just the beginning of this remarkable book where you will join the mission to find the missing Soong-type androids and in the process you will be able to learn more about the past of the man behind the creation of Data, the one and only Noonien Soong. However, as soon as the Enterprise barely arrives to Galor IV, an intruder alert sounds on the Starfleet Annex of the Daystrom Institute complex on that world.Īll Soong-type androids dissapear! Not only B-4, but also the innert bodies of Lal, Lore and the three early unnamed prototypes. Maddox requests the help of Commander Geordi La Forge to try to save the life of B-4. However now, Maddox seems unable to save the very life of B-4 from an inminent cascade failure of his positronic brain due having the Data's memories and that, it's something beyond of B-4's modest capabilities. He was able to protect the life of B-4 ( a Soong-type android and kinda "brother" of Data ) before the law courts of the Federation. The story is set ten years after the novel Immortal Coil (a key adventure involving Data) and four years later of the film Nemesis ( where Data sacrificed himself to save the life of Captain Jean-Luc Picard).Ĭaptain Maddox, previously an antagonist to Data, now it's easily one of the strongest voices defending the civil rights to artificial intelligence sentient life forms. But still, since Immortal Coil was so good novel and definitely something too relevant for the literary expanded history of the character of Data, I congratulate to David Mack, the author of this trilogy, to recognize that he shouldn't write the return of Data without mentioning, even using, elements of that previous excellent book. This story is a direct sequel of the novel Immortal Coil ( SEE REVIEW HERE ) by Jeffrey Lang, that it's kinda unusual that other author bases a novel on the work by another fellow writer, even more unusual a whole trilogy. Certainy, this trilogy looks even more interesting than I thought of. Honestly, since it was a trilogy, I expected the formal return of him on the third book, not since the first one. These kind of returns is something just too big, too great, as people wouldn't know.Įven, the very decision of reading this trilogy is very likely to be based on the knowledge that Data returns. I don't consider that a spoiler since it's like saying that people wouldn't know that Spock returns in Searh for Spock or Kirk on The Return. This is the epic tale about the return of one of the dearest characters in Star Trek universe.
