Publisher Description
Following the surprise resignation of Federation President Min Zife after the disastrous Tezwa affair, Nan Bacco of Cestus III has won a hotly contested election to become the new chief executive of over one hundred fifty planetary civilizations and their colonies. But no sooner does she take office than the Romulan Star Empire falls into chaos. With tensions already high, a Reman refugee ship is sighted approaching a Federation outpost, its intentions unknown.
As the first year of the Bacco Administration unfolds, the Federation Council is slow to work with its new president, and not always supportive of her policies or her appointments to key council positions; a successful first contact suddenly becomes a diplomatic disaster; and the sins of President Zife prove difficult to lay to rest...as one celebrated Starfleet officer's career reaches a turning point.
Customer Reviews
Really enjoyable
I did enjoy this book. I know the author said he was inspired by the show The West Wing and some of the small plot lines mirrored episodes of the show. It was interesting getting this perspective of the Federation President but I will say the one thing that kept this from being a 5 star for me is there were too many plot points and it lacked one overall storyline. I think this would’ve worked better as a series and wish we had gotten one
Great Story
I’m glad I read this book. It gives you insight into Nanietta Bacco, who was just the leader needed by the Federation at that time in its history, but the inner workings of politics, which seems to be the same no matter what species you are or what century you’re in.
Great book!
This is probably one of the best Star Trek books I’ve ever read. It has a West Wing feel to it that lets you explore the government and politics of the Federation that you don’t get a lot of in the shows or in other books. I would highly recommend it!
