As both a huge Star Trek fan and an adopted person reunited with my birth family, I love the fact that this topic is being covered in a Star Trek novel. As usual they emphasize themes of personal responsibility and making the best of a less-than-ideal situation to create an inspirational tale. Adopted people are a natural for Star Trek characters since they are real-life examples of disenfranchised, dehumanized persons represented by characters like Seven of Nine and Commander Data.

At first I found it a little difficult to get into this book, but it didn't take very long for me to get hooked. I found myself wanting to know more about what happened to Rugal and Pen. At times I wanted to shake Rugal and tell him that he was selfish and an idiot for not realizing that all his Cardissian father wanted was for him to be happy. Yes maybe his decisions weren't the best but they were done with good intentions. Rugal didn't want to admit that perhaps he wasn't that bad after all. At the end though I think Rugal finds out that there is more to being Cardassian than he realized at first and he finally in some way accepts who is and what he has to do.
