The ancient Thallonian Empire has collapsed, throwing an entire sector of the galaxy into chaos and unrest. Billions of sentient beings are faced with starvation, warfare, and worse. Faced with a tragedy of interstellar proportions, Starfleet assembles a new, handpicked crew to help where it can and report what it finds. Captain Mackenzie Calhoun, recommended by Jean-Luc Picard himself, takes command of the USS Excalibur, which is manned by Starfleet's best and brightest, including some old friends from Star Trek: The Next Generation and some of the most dynamic new characters ever to boldly go where no one has gone before! This special hardcover edition contains the first thrilling adventure that launched Star Trek into a new frontier. It also contains a pull-out full-color print of all of the characters and a special "minipedia" guide to the people, places, and things that make up the New Frontier universe!

This book (which I read as the singular 4 books) is very easy and quick to read. All the books are unambiguously part of the first story. Much time is spent on introducing the characters which for the most part are interesting. Of course there are some famous favourite characters to introduce this 'new' series. The ending really sold me. Without spoiling the content I can confidently tell you that it's silly Sci-Fi bullshit of the highest caliber (a very good thing).

Here are some things I didn't like: -Personally I don't need that much sex in my stories. -M'k'n'zy is very unsympathetic to me and the first book, which is all about him, made me reconsider reading it a bit but i pushed through. He stays unlikable (to me) throughout the 4 parts but experiences first signs of character growth at the end, to introduce his main Thing basically.
