Just in time for the milestone 50th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series, an epic new trilogy that stretches from the earliest voyages of the Starship Enterprise to Captain Kirk’s historic five-year-mission—and from one universe to another!

A debt of honor: One brave woman ventures alone into a parallel universe to save her old shipmates, exiled there decades earlier by a mysterious device called the Transfer Key. She soon learns the alternate universe harbors not just an alien invasion force, but a secret that underpins its very existence.

A mission of peace: A long-awaited Klingon-Federation peace conference convenes, led by Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan and Councillor Gorkon of Qo’noS. But both sides have enemies who would prefer the two great powers remain at war—and who will do anything to make certain hate wins the day.

An errand of justice: Captain Kirk and his crew seek the stolen Transfer Key that opens a door between universes, but their hunt is cut short by Ambassador Sarek’s plea for help. The Enterprise crew soon becomes targets in a deadly crossfire—one whose outcome will decide the fate of two universes.

Best Defence is the middle novel of the Legacies trilogy and written by David Mack. The style is subtly different to the previous book and it was interesting to compare the way the two authors wrote and made me wonder if the needs of the overall story were parceled out in terms of the strength of the writers. So without getting too spoiler heavy the mysterious artefact protected through decades by the Captains and First Officers of the Enterprise is out in the wild, the Romulans and Klingons are in play and elements outside of the Federation are eager to see Klingon/Federation talks in the shadow of the Organians utterly fail.
As the Enterprise and Captain Una continue to clean up their own mess the delegations led by Sarek and Gorkon meet to discuss a peace treaty on the planet of Centaurus, the home at this time of one Joanna McCoy. Kirk and company have their work cut out for them as delegates mysteriously vanish and agents of chaos are ready to strike. Una stranded in the alternate universe has to understand her new world and find those who have been exiled here before her not forgetting the native Jatohr who will not be too pleased to see her again. To rescue her crew and so many other including the Usilde may be impossible but one thing is for sure the Jatohr invasion forces can not be allowed to enter into our universe no matter what the cost.
Best Defense was a riveting read, more action in this second novel of the series and always a delight to see Klingons and Romulans full on and of course Gorkon and Sarek serious points plus Amanda and Joanna bonus points galore. Kudos to David in creating the alternate universe, we still have a lot to learn about the world of the Jatohr but one thing for sure, it's alien.
The first two novels of Legacies have not disappointed, the bar has been set high for Purgatory's Key.

A very well thought and writtent Trilogy

I will post exactly the same advice for the 2 other books of this trilogy. The scenario was very well thought and the depth of the story, the pleasure to go along this very long and breath taking story across the 3 books and leaving with our favorite characters Kirk, Spock, McCoy and all the crew, and also some returning character from the very first episode of the legendary serie, makes this opus a fantastic tribute to the 50th Anniversary. A great pleasure to read, a difficulty not to read it in one treat!

Fantastic. Fantastic.

I really enjoy any Trek story lately. All the authors of the various novels write in ways that appeal directly to me. But David Mack just brings something else, an extra quality. This writer describes so much action that it's like watching a film. And he gives characters and technology from this era a real shine that the tv show never got close too. The tv show made it appear that 7 characters ran the entire ship, he doesn't change what has been seen on tv, he supplements it, adding layers and depth and keeps the futuristic feel that the tv show lost as our modern technology caught up and over took 23rd century Starfleet. (Except for the warp drive. And transporters.)
(And phasers).

Very good enjoyed this. Not as good as the first book in the series and was more of a slow burn than that offering however it was enjoyable and set up what I hope will be a grandstand finish to this trilogy.
