"I've realized that I prefer Peter David's Star Trek novels when they aren't as focused on humor. This book, which has a great premise and some great scenes, relies a little too heavily on humor, and moreover, on humor that I don't really like. Its a humor based on traditional gender roles and (to my mind) outdated views on men and women, so a lot of the humor not only didn't land for me, but some of it made me mildly uncomfortable. To be clear, the book is overall, a fun and breezy read, but I can't give it more than three stars."
