Nothing could have prepared Captain Calhoun for simultaneous threats from the D'myurj, bent on the domination or destruction of humanity, and Morgan Primus, a sophisticated computer simulation taking up residence within the very core of the U.S.S. Excalibur.

Review of "Blind Man's Bluff" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

"'You'd rather not.' 'No.' 'Well then, I am now ordering you to tell me.' 'Then I'm afraid we're at an impasse, Admiral.'"

The opening chapter of this book is one of the best things I've read in ages. You do have to know about the world for it to make sense, but for one coming to the New Frontier after a hiatus of twenty months without any recap it is a phenomenal read.

"He had kept his arm extended and away from him so that he didn't chance landing on his own sword, since that would certainly be an ignominious way to end a storied career."

The pithy talk throughout keeps this in David's familiar tones, and even though I'm a little behind on my Relaunch reading, I got enough of the background to follow what was going on. A continuation of the series one-hundred per cent worth reading.
