Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of Star Trek: Discovery: Desperate Hours comes an original, thrilling novel set in the universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation!

The past returns to haunt Captain Jean-Luc Picard—a crime he thought long buried has been exposed, and he must return to Earth to answer for his role in a conspiracy that some call treason. Meanwhile, the U.S.S. Enterprise is sent to apprehend pirates who have stolen vital technology from a fragile Federation colony. But acting captain Commander Worf discovers that the pirates’ motives are not what they seem, and that sometimes standing for justice means defying the law….

  • Very disappointing

    I really struggled finishing this book. I figured this book would primarily focus on the courtroom proceedings of Picard and really there wasn’t much there. What was there finished without much flair or doubt and in reality I never had doubt because he wasn’t part of the conspiracy. The part of the story involving Okona was just annoying and honestly served very little importance to the overall story and made the Enterprise’s security chief look like a bitter Klingon who then follows the “I’m not impressed by his charm but for some reason she still sleeps with him” plot. It as utterly ridiculous. Other things were inconsistent with the Star Trek universe (the use of money which has long been discontinued, continued black ops services operating outside the mandates of Starfleet) it all just leaves me disappointed with an author I’ve really enjoyed reading

  • Good Book

    Three takeaways: 1. The Borg are even more awesome than I thought (which is saying something). 2. I never thought I would pull for the Nausicans. 3. Worf is going to be a helluva captain.

  • Great ST novel!

    Captain Picard finally goes back to Earth to face the music, and a race forgotten after the Borg attack seeks revenge, and a new start. Great tension, humor when needed, and a satisfying ending. David Mack alters his writing style in several places, and it works well. If you love TNG, Picard, and a well-written story by an author that truly understands the ST universe, it’s characters, and knows how to weave a great tale, I highly recommend this book!
