Throughout the Star Trek: New Frontier saga, Mark McHenry, the navigator on the USS Excalibur, has demonstrated abilities beyond those of the somewhat odd human being he appears to be. When the inhabitants of an innocent solar system are confronted by a menace linked to the source of McHenry's powers, his true heritage is revealed at last.

Meanwhile, Zak Kebron is going through a startling change that will leave him both more and less than he was.

Review of 'Being Human' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

"And if we happened to be a literature-appreciation circle, I would be extremely pleased with the direction in which things are going. However, what with this being a starship and all, I'd be far more pleased if we could actually accomplish our mission."


So here we see our intrepid heroes thrust up against the almighty. Or as almighty as you get in space, anyway. the mystery of Mchenry is finally explained at least.

"Since I do not wish you to do anything about it, the response of 'no' is relatively all-purpose."

Selar and Burgoyne's child not to mention the stray calhoun brought aboard the starship pad out the whacky cast of characters quite well. The love lives of everyone seems to be on the agenda once again, though; and there is something of an anticlimactic thread to the whole thing.
