Vanguard: Storming Heaven

Storming Heaven by David Mack wraps up the epic Star Trek series, Vanguard.  Set in the far reaches of explored space, this series has traced the adventures of the crew of Station 47 (Vanguard) and their struggles with the mysterious and powerful Shedai. The back copy promises an explosive conclusion, and Mack delivers. One of my favourite parts of reading novels by the newish crop of writers (over this past almost decade) is not just the great storytelling, but the Easter eggs. I won't give them away, but if you're a fan of The Big Bang Theory or the works of Joss Whedon, you'll have a few "squee!" moments.
