The spies are getting away with the data that Starfleet are desperate to protect, but Miller and his colleagues are determined to stop them, whatever the cost. Of course, when it comes to being a red-shirted member of Starfleet, that cost is usually very high…

This is an absolutely fantastic series; despite the overwhelming number of cast members we were initially introduced to, the cast is now a much more manageable size due to the, well, expendable nature of the Redshirts.

Most of this issue takes place in a single location, with a vertiginous battle taking place and seemingly no one safe from the danger of the situation they find themselves in.

There’s a pulse-pounding, heartbreaking rescue sequence and even a bit of transporter-related body horror; it’s riveting stuff. Along with this, the cliffhanger is excellent too.

Even for non-Trek fans, this is quite the thrill-ride; it’s certainly not like any Star Trek I’ve experienced before, and with its deliberately expendable cast, it continues to be extremely, and excitingly, unpredictable.
