When the U.S.S. Excalibur was suddenly and mercilessly destroyed, Starfleet lost one of its finest starships. But the crew members of the Excalibur lost their captain... and their home. Now, in mourning for their ship and Captain Mackenzie Calhoun, First officer Elizabeth Shelby and the rest of the crew await new assignments.

For Lieutenant Soleta, that means a painful reunion with her Romulan father, while Zak Kebron and Mark McHenry are sent undercover to investigate a series of mysterious alien abductions an a low-tech world. Going their separate ways throughout the Alpha Quadrant, the Excalibur's survivors must face diverse challenges and dangers on their own.

The ship is history, but the adventure continues...

johanna reviewed Requiem: Excalibur Book One by Peter David (Star trek, new frontier.)

finally some more character driven content

5 stars

Before this my favourite book in the series was Once Burned (the Captains Table one), which was the last really character driven one that focused more on the themes of a character than a general plot happening to the crew.

This book focuses on two of my favourite characters in more detail (most of all Soleta of course, which made me very happy) so it was either going to be very good or very bad. It was not bad! Very happy especially about the limelight on Soleta and McHenry.

It was somewhat of an even split of silly and perhaps somewhat dark humour content and genuinely dark events. I hope the coming books focus more on Soleta than the previous two or so did
