Publisher Description
The next novel in the Typhon Pact adventure in the universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Still on Romulus in pursuit of his goal of reunifying the Vulcans and Romulans, Spock finds himself in the middle of a massive power struggle. In the wake of the assassination of the Praetor and the Senate, the Romulans have cleaved in two. While Empress Donatra has led her nascent Imperial Romulan State to establish relations with the Federation, Praetor Tal’aura has guided the original Romulan Star Empire toward joining the newly formed Typhon Pact. But numerous factions within the two Romulan nations vie for power and undivided leadership, and Machiavellian plots unfold as forces within and without the empires conduct high-stakes political maneuvers.
Meanwhile, four years after Benjamin Sisko returned from the Celestial Temple, circumstances have changed, his hopes for a peaceful life on Bajor with his wife and daughter beginning to slip away. After temporarily rejoining Starfleet for an all-hands-on-deck battle against the Borg, he must consider an offer to have him return for a longer stint. Beset by troubling events, he seeks spiritual guidance, facing demons new and old, including difficult memories from his time in the last Federation-Tzenkethi war.
Customer Reviews
A good read that serially mishandles Benjamin Sisko
I very much enjoyed both the Spock storyline and the Romulan tapestry of intrigue. However, the author fails to even remotely capture the character of Sisko. I have to agree with previous posts that this is simply not the character of the man. I'm not sure what the possible payoff of his storyline would justify it. I mixed bag, but in my view, still worth the read.
Not Sisko
Disappointed in this book. The Sisko in this book is not the same man from the series, or the other post-series books. He is shallow of character and has no honor.
Loved Unity, and the Millenium series.
Rough beasts of empire
It was a decent book. I was hoping for a little more action but good none the less.
