Reception
In the February 1986 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #74), John Grandidge called this adventure "very different from the approach of other Star Trek adventures [...] This is quite the most free-form adventure I have seen presented commercially and at first sight is a daunting prospect to run." Grandidge found "the basic plot is believable and interesting." He concluded by giving the book a perfect overall rating of 10 out of 10, saying, "For the remarkably high overall marks below I have chosen to ignore the ridiculous prices of these adventures in order to emphasise the quality of the plots [...] and the encouragement to backstab and bicker in Termination are perfectly faithful to the essence of Star Trek."[1]
