The story here was good and riveting as well the character development for M'Ress especially was great. As for the Gateways series I recommend TNG's book instead of this one, as this one doesn't have much to do with the real problem. The only relation to the Gateways problem in fact, is the fact that it is a gateway that has restarted a war between two races. This book simply serves as a "Hey, here's another reason gateways are bad."
My major issue with NF is that I don't like the fact that Calhoun and crew are "silly" and very much NOT what you have come to expect of a Starfleet crew and captain. Shelby is about the only believable recurring character here. Calhoun is not professional and boldly goes against what the Federation is and the admirals know it. The fact that he is still a captain after all of his shenanigans is a miracle. I think the New Frontier series was created simply to have the Star Trek name on it. Peter David is a good enough writer that he could have written his sci-fi books with out Star Trek and they'd have been better.
