"They’re a little known hip-hop crew, descended to earth from a magical realm. They delivered some of the most hardcore, gangster rap rhymes I’ve ever heard. Channeling Dre, channeling Nate Dogg, channeling Mystikal, channeling all of my heroes"

Great crew new and old
Great sfx
Fits in with the other films
Star Wars!
Love the Star Wars films! The flawless mix of the old universe with the new technology was cunning edge material, bringing back old friends, characters, and props back where they belong. The Rogue One crew was Amazing. Glad they explained everyone's background story in the beginning. The build up to the final fight scene on Scarif was perfection. The final fight scene itself, well cmon did you really think you'd be let down? Almost wished that the fight scenes were a little more brutal but considering the company is owned by Disney the move to keep it kid friendly while still giving the older more mature audience a show is respected.

Seeing Kirk and Picard in the same scene, even doing menial things, is still amusing (3 more)
Some interesting themes of time
The TNG crew is as likable as ever
Dennis McCarthy's subtle score is solid
The Nexus is a confusing plot device (1 more)
Feels too much like a TNG 2 parter
A bit too tvish perhaps, but not as bad as it's made out
While it does have flaws I do think Generations is better than it's regarded. The Nexus certainly creates a lot of plot holes and there's nothing this could have done that an episode of the show couldn't, but as someone who loves the show and TNG crew I find it enjoyable enough.
  
The fourth book in The Lost Fleet spinoff Beyond The Frontier series, that picks up from the previous in starting with 'Black Jack' Geary on planet Earth. It's not long, however, before they are back in space when two of his crew are kidnapped, with the kidnappers then landing on the most feared planet in the universe(s), leaving Geary having to make a decision about what to do.

If I'm honest, and having read the blurb: I thought that that portion of the story would have taken much longer than it did: it only took place in the early part of the novel, before Geary and his crew were back in Alliance space, and before it was back to the usual Alliance/Syndicates plot.

Also have to say: read the earlier books first! :-)
