![]() ![]() ![]() Mack wisely doesn't give him a tragic or overwrought backstory to explain why he is this way he just get on with telling us who Soong is. In a sense, it's there for a very long exposition dump we find out how Soong might have seemed to die but did not, what he's been up to in the interim, how B-4 from Nemesis fits in with what Next Generation itself told us about Soong's android prototypes, what he thinks of the events of the novel Immortal Coil, and so on.īut in another sense, it's a great portrait of an unusual mind, a man obsessed with himself and his legacy. Part Two, "Noonien," is in the first person and the present tense (both are unusual in Star Trek fiction, let alone together) following Data's creator, Noonien Soong, from the moment of his apparent death in "Brothers" up until the present. ![]() Persistence of Memory is the first book of a trilogy, and it's also a novella-length frame around a novel-length flashback. But even though space politics influence the story (the Breen are involved), the focus of the story is elsewhere, at long last. Though not every Destiny-era story I've read so far has been political, all of the Enterprise ones have: Paths of Disharmony, The Struggle Within, Plagues of Night, Brinkmanship (and, earlier on, Losing the Peace). ![]() First off, let me say it's nice to read an adventure for the Enterprise that has nothing to do with space politics. ![]()
