Every reader should be familiar with the concept by now. Fans wirte and submit short Star Trek related stories, Dean Wesley Smith picks the best (in his opinion) and those get pbulished. This should guarantee a mix of Star Trek stories not unlike the official series that contains something to please every taste.
Sadly i feel a fatigue growing although the activity in forum and user groups is far from diminishing.
The format of the book is familiar. A section per TV series and the recently introduced Speculation chapter at the end.
Psychology is taking way more thn it's fair share, action, exploration, new planets and people suffer from that.
I a few ccases a hole in the existing stories is plugged, taking care of hte question "what happened with those left behind when the Enterprise left?". This can be nice reading but also here the focus from the author is on the feelgood and not on boldy going where no-one went before.

A series of short stories based on all the different incarnations of Trek. Stand out ones include the history of the Horta, Miles meeting Kaiko for the first time, Picard telling Scotty about Kirk and the Noonian Soong one. This is a decent short story collection. A good read.
