Unconvincingly cardboard Romulans are the major downside of this otherwise interesting book about an enormous space hermit crab. I liked how much life the supporting characters had; good "day players" as it were.

A pretty good Star Trek adventure in which the Enterprise investigates a ghost Romulan space station, only to find that the ship, and the crew, are also suffering a similar energy drain; a situation that becomes more complex when a Romulan warship comes and accuses the Federation of the death of the space station. Not bad. ( )
