Becoming Number One

4 stars

I loved seeing how Chris Pike and Una Chin-Riley meet and become friends. The problems she's facing during her time at the academy, the guilt she carries, and how that catches up on her during the Enterprise's current mission is all wonderfully woven together. I loved seeing some of the SNW crew as well, especially one member was fun as always. More of them please! The new species we meet and its history and situation are very interesting and I liked everything about it. Very current, very important. Una McCormack does, once again, not disappoint. Could she ever?! As always, I recommend her interview about this book on the Literary Treks podcast. Edit: And here‘s her interview with Positively Trek.
