This has been one of my favorite volumes of this series of graphic novels so far. We get a story from the perspective of Hendorff, the security officer. We also get Keenster's backstory and his first meeting with Scotty as well as glimpses into his upbringing. I appreciated the exploration of the bullying he experienced on his home planet. His brilliant intellect opened up an opportunity for him to join Starfleet where he meets Scotty. Scotty immediately treats him like an equal which allowed them to quickly forge a friendship together. One of the more interesting storylines in this volume involves the Kelvin Timeline version of the mirror universe. Kirk is as unhinged as I expected him to be and there is a lot of betrayal and intrigue that made the story interesting. I'm looking forward to the next volume. This one will be hard to beat, though.
