Once Burned

3.5 stars. Started out slow but was really heartbreakingly good in the end. Calhoun's much alluded tragedy which made him leave Starfleet was fitting and also well done.

The title is a mouthful, but Peter David comes through with this first-person tale told by Captain Mackenzie Calhoun. The Captain's table format gives both David and his character an opportunity to tell a very personal story. I found it entertaining. You can find PAD among the crowd of the cover art.
