MONDAY: Starfleet Academy: The Gemini Agent by Rick Barba

Summary
Kirk is in serious trouble. Not a huge surprise for anyone who knows his devil-may-care attitude and independent streak. But the fact that he can't remember large chunks of time when he is supposed to be doing the things causing all the trouble is a big surprise. Kirk is going to need the help of his closest friend, McCoy, as well as new friends like Uhura and Chekov, to figure out what is really going on and Jim's true role in all of it.

Review
This chapter in the Academy story left me wanting more. Great set up for future human/Romulan/ Vulcan interactions. Alludes to the reunification movement from The Next Generation. Kirk, McCoy and Uhura make a great team. More backstory on Chekov, which is fun. Relationship between Spock and Uhura seen in the movie is being developed in this story. I am really enjoying this series. 

4 out of 5 stars

Recommended for: Teens and/or adults, fans of the Star Trek TV shows and/or the JJ Abrams movie from 2009.

Cautions: some drinking, mild language, relationship references
