The idea of a novel series putting William Riker in command of his own starship is very appealing. The guy deserves it. However,
Star Trek: Titan #1: Taking Wing by Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels (Pocket books, ebook, 5700ll; Kindle purchase), first in the
Star Trek: Titan series, does him no justice. It begins during the events of the painfully dull and frustrating
Star Trek: Nemesis, which perhaps explains why it took me eight years to read more than the first few pages. Poor old Spock is shown to be still stuck in hiding on Romulus – where he was parked in the
Next Generation two-parter “Reunification” – when Tom Hardy makes his bid for power.
