Product Description

An armada of several thousand Borg cubes has wiped out a fleet of ships sent by the Federation and its allies. This time the goal of the Collective is not assimilation but extermination. Jean-Luc Picard, Will Riker and Ezri Dax unite in a final desperate bid to halt the Borg's genocidal progress through known space. But their three starships -- the Enterprise, the Titan and the Aventine -- are no match for the Borg armada. Or are they? With them is Erica Hernandez, former captain of the missing starship Columbia. Endowed with powers and insight gained from centuries spent with the alien Caeliar, she can end the Borg threat forever -- or transform it into a menace which will devour the entire galaxy.

Customer Reviews

Good Read, Good Trilogy
For what is the final book in the trilogy, it brings the saga to a satisfying end. Issues surrounding the Borg are tied up, thankfully, after having so many recent novels devoted to them they were getting a little tiresome. The Federation is facing oblivion, along with the rest of the Alpha quadrant, and after actually getting a good thrashing, pluck something out of the hat. Excellent read, gets the imagination going. Would make a great game!

Star Trek Destiny - The most controversal and bravest piece of Trek fiction ever?
I have just finished the trilogy and have been blown away by the ending (i won't spoil it, suffice to say, it's awesome). This has to be the most audacious piece of Trek fiction i have ever read, whoever comissioned this must have had some guts, because it could so easily have blown up in their face. This i believe will become highly controversial (if it hasn't already) as a result of the ending. My only qualms were that the pace was a bit too slow in places and that i can't help but feel it would have made a better duology than a trilogy (a tightening of the action wouldn't have gone amiss and some of the caeliar flashbacks felt unneccessary and clunky). Generally superb though with a classic cliffhanger at the end of book 2. I read them all in one go and sturggled only at the beginning of the third book. Brave concepts, Classic battles and a seemingly undefeatable foe make this trilogy as close to an epic legend as star trek fiction will probably ever get.

Destiny's End
So after dozens of set up novels, spanning the whole Star Trek saga, we come to the end. Or at least the end of the adventures we know, an all consuming trilogy, Destiny taught us about things we never dreamed of really understanding, The origin of the Borg for example.
And yet, when that conclusion is reached, I found it somewhat unsatisfying.
Well written, excellent characterisations, fantastic choreographed battle scenes on the intense level i expect from Trek.
Very enjoyable, but seeming shallow at the time. Maybe more could have been made from such an expansive crossover? Some kind of interaction between Picard and Johnathan Archer, Kirk Vs The Collective?
As interesting as the Cealiar were, they came across as old school preachy Trek, you almost wanted them to become... what they eventually became. Thats not a spoiler, its mind blowingly obvious from the first flashback.
Nice third book, cant wait to see whats in store for all the characters after this, although i uspect it'll be a long while before we meet the continuing voyages of the U.S.S Enterprise again as the next TNG novels are set earlier in the timeline.
And why is Dax no longer on DS9? Anyone??? At least TNG novels are churned out at a decent speed, we have to wait years for each DS9 installment.
