Perhaps realizing that the showdown with the mimic ship is going to be less stellar than he originally intended, the author inserts several chapters of filler which see Picard's motley scavenger crew get embroiled in increasingly unlikely scenarios with Androssi, Orions and Pakleds. What follows is a rather turgid recapitulation of the cat-and-mouse games we saw in Vornholt's first book, as Picard sets off on unlikely mission with Cabot, Wesley and Vale to track down the mimic ship and put an end to its reign of terror. Traveler-come-superhero Wesley has used his powers of persuasion on Cabot and several others to arrange for the Enterprise to head out to expose the mimic ship of the Rasharan boneyard. John Vornholt concludes the first "A Time To." duology on an embarrassingly low note, turning in a volume which verged between painful and laughable.Īfter being unceremoniously committed to a mental health institute, Picard is allowed to return to the Enterprise under the supervision of the insufferable Counselor Colleen Cabot.
