Publisher Description
Seven months ago, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the USS Enterprise rescued a Federation cargo ship and a Romulan Warbird, both drained of power by an unknown source and mysteriously trapped together in the Neutral Zone. Five months ago, the captain of the USS Exeter launched a log buoy from her helpless ship, reporting it adrift and without energy for reasons she is unable to explain. Now, a power plant on Mars has gone down, leaving tens of millions in the dark. Reports of remote outposts losing power, ships stranded in space, and unexplained dead zones throughout the United Federation of Planets are beginning to cause a general panic.
But Starfleet sends Picard and the Enterprise to Romulan space with orders to enter as covertly as possible and rendezvous with a high-ranking Romulan named T Sart. An infamous war criminal and a cold-blooded killer, T Sart's expertise runs from biological warfare to high-tech weaponry. Now he claims he is planning to defect - but even though the rendezvous was arranged with Vulcan Ambassador Spock's authentication codes, no contact with the Ambassador himself can be established. Sabotaging the project of his one-time protege, T Sart arranges the destruction of a Romulan warbird - the distraction for his pickup - with disturbing ease. But T Sart insists he is trying to save the universe, not destroy it - and the Federation may have no choice but to take him at his word.

ReRead part 1
I read this when it first came out many many earth rotations ago, and at the end of lockdown 2020 I decided to reread all my books that I did have in paper form sadly most have now gone to some great charity as I had over 400 books, this is my first.
Starting at one of my favourite books is maximum warp series (two books) with one of my favourite species at it forefront The Romulans and a dash of Klingons
Set before the events of ST-Nemesis (2376) the crew of the Enterprise E are set a galactic mystery spanning several series in minor parts of Dead Zones pockets of space the essentially disables anything with power with communications an issue the simple ability to travel the great distances at warp an issue that effects several government worlds
The first book lays the story up with several new people introduced with what feels like already established History especially with the main Protagonist T’Sart a devious Romulan that is wanted by several Governments throughout the galaxy but is the only one that can, naturally, stop/ or knows the most about the Dead Zones
All the Next Gen cast, make an appearance with their familiar feels nothing is out of place and feels like an actual episode with it flowing storylines and this marks a very high point in my Star Trek library.
Onwards to book 2 ...
Side edit note : it came out in 2012 it is now 2021 this makes me feel old
