Roll Call: The Crew of the U.S.S. Excalibur:
Captain Mackenzie Calhoun: An unorthodox, decisive young captain who loves his crew and his ship, and loves testing their limits even more.
Commander Shelby: A woman of strong opinions and strong values, Shelby never hesitated to tell her captains when she thought they were wrong, and Mackenzie Calhoun won't be any exception.

As the Thallonian Empire succumbs to violence and insurrection, the U.S.S. Excalibur prepares to launch on her humanitarian mission of mercy. But her departure is destined to be a memorable one, as Calhoun contends with an unexpected stowaway, a stormy relationship with his crew, and -- light-years away -- frightened refugees aboard a dying ship.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Frontier - Book Two
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2008
The second book in a series of four introductory novels within the "New Frontier" series is both character and action-packed, introducing the readers to the Excalibur crew left untouched in the first volume.

Excalibur has launched on her mission to Sector 221-G, and her commanders are hard at work sorting out personnel issues ranging from stowaways to the helmsman. But when a refugee transport loses power, it's Excalibur's job to save the ship -- and the people aboard.

"New Frontier", the first Star Trek series to be centered around non-canon characters, is, in my humble opinion, some of the best Trek fiction on the market. The characters, plots, and characters are all stunningly executed by one of Trek's best authors.

8.5/10

5.0 out of 5 stars The Journey Continues
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2001
This sequal to the House of Cards has made me a true fan of the New Frontier series. The story is great, as well as the characters, that are both from previous Star Trek tv shows and from past books, or just new from Peter David's head. Be sure to have the next book ready to go.

I was very anxious to read this continuation of the first book in this series. The only thing that let me down is that he left me hanging, waiting to read the third book.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE ADVENTURE CONTIUES!
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2001
The second book in series follows straight on from where book one left off. This is great book for many reasons, it introduces an old enemy for Si Cwan as well as giving us information on his missing sister, and the interaction between Kebron and Cwan is absolutley great. This book has all the ingrediants for a perfect Star Trek story, action, humor and intrigue but it still feels that the story still hasn't kicked off yet.

I'm upset I was "tricked" into purchasing this book. It is not #2 in the series. The first 4 mini-books were combined into Start Trek New Frontiers: New Frontiers, so I bought the "second" book thinking I was getting the second in the series, but I got #2 in the 4-part series. Stupid publishers. They owe me $9.

3.0 out of 5 stars Review of "New Frontier, Book 2"
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2002
Peter David is, without question, the best author of Star Trek books that there is. His "New Frontier" series is a delight to read, with excellent plot, characterization, humor, and competent writing.
That being said, (and as I said about the first book of this series) this book wasn't really one of his better efforts. Granted, his "off day" is better than most writers' best, but still...
We're two books into the series, and still, it feels like we're just setting the table. I'd really like to have seen more happening by now. And again, we end on a cliffhanger, something that I really hate. (Honest, I promise I'll buy the next book without a cliffhanger ending if the writing is good, and if it isn't, the cliffhanger isn't going to help, because I won't CARE what happens next.)
Also, and this is just a personal preference, but I've always HATED the character of Shelby, so I could have really been much happier if she wasn't involved, but at least she's mostly being used for contrast between the "cowboy" Captain Calhoun and her own straightlaced, annoying self. I hope David doesn't start working at making her TOO sympathetic a character; I really DON'T want to start liking her.
Definitely worth reading, but there's still plenty of room for improvement. Hopefully, things will start picking up in the next couple of books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not even goat fodder.
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 1997
This series doesn't quite make a "1" rating (it's so bad it's good). Still, I stand in awe of it, because it is just plain awful. Would-be writers and editors can have a field day. Groan, as you correct the spelling and grammar. Yawn, as you eliminate redundancies, thus cutting the verbiage by about two-thirds. Grimace, as you wonder how the author could have missed so many opportunities. Evince no surprise as your pet goat refuses to eat it. Sigh with relief as you tune the tube to the more literate adventures of Hercules and Xena. Otherwise, have a nice day

4.0 out of 5 stars good solid addition to the star trek multiverse
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2013
Verified Purchase
As a Star trek fan who hadn't read any of this series it looked a good bet for a holiday read, even though the irritating Shelby character features prominently. It was just that. The first 4 books in the series went on holiday with me and they were good poolside reads (now taken by an Italian family home to read.) The characters forma good star trek ensemble but i would recommend starting from the first in the series. The back story established in Book 1 of the series is important with appearances by Picard and Spock to set the scene. The series is still running I think - well into 'saga' territory. There wasn't anything new in the format - just a good solid addition to the Star Trek multiverse. The books seem quite slim and each is easily read in a day. The second hand copy I bought was in excellent condition and I would use the seller again happily.
