Description

A thrilling new Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine adventure from New York Times bestselling author Dayton Ward!

2369: Shortly after Starfleet thwarts a Cardassian attack on a Federation star system, the Cardassian government orders an end to its fifty-year occupation of the planet Bajor. As a result, a newly installed Bajoran government requests immediate assistance from the Federation to mediate how the withdrawal will proceed and what recompense, if any, Bajorans are owed from their brutal oppressors. Captain Jean-Luc Picard is ordered by Starfleet Command to oversee these tense negotiations on Terok Nor, the massive Cardassian space station still orbiting Bajor, even as he still deals with his own recent trauma as a prisoner held and tortured by a Cardassian interrogator.

As these critical peace talks get underway, Ensign Ro Laren receives a call for help from a friend thought long dead, exposing an insidious secret from inside Cardassian space. Now, Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise must act to prevent an interstellar incident from reigniting deadly hostilities between the Federation and the Cardassians, and shattering any hope of justice for the Bajoran people…

    I thought this was an excellent novel and a perfect idea for a franchise that’s meandered all over the place trying to fulfill both new series and continue the older series. The author nails the voices and as you would guess there are a number of familiar figures from both TNG and DS9 and I could hear each actor or actress whenever they were featured. It’s a great tie in to pre DS9 as well as explaining O’Brien leaving, Picard aftermath of Chain of Command and even some insight into Kira. My only knock is the author did too many summaries of past TNG episodes and while 1 makes sense I think he did 2 or 3 and that’s just wasted time IMO. I hope we get more books during this timeline (the Berman era TV shows) as there are hundreds of possibilities and authors willing to write them.
