Publisher Description
On Earth, Federation President Nanietta Bacco gathers allies and adversaries to form a desperate last line of defense against an impending Borg invasion. In deep space, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Captain Ezri Dax join together to cut off the Collective's route to the Alpha Quadrant.
Half a galaxy away, Captain William Riker and the crew of the Starship Titan have made contact with the reclusive Caeliar -- survivors of a stellar cataclysm that, two hundred years ago, drove fissures through the structure of space and time, creating a loop of inevitability and consigning another captain and crew to a purgatory from which they could never escape.
Now the supremely advanced Caeliar will brook no further intrusion upon their isolation, or against the sanctity of their Great Work....For the small, finite lives of mere mortals carry little weight in the calculations of gods.
But even gods may come to understand that they underestimate humans at their peril.
Customer Reviews
Excellent middle book
This was a terrific middle book (with one somewhat minor gripe that cost it a star). We get to see Ericka’s time with the Caelier as well as the fate of the surviving crew that were stranded with her.
We also get to see the Enterprise and the Aventine team up to search he mysterious nebula and the a terrific battle with the Hirogen in one of the better inner ship battles I can recall reading.
The one gripe is Troi. This is a character I don’t think TNG ever got right and she’s really insufferable in this book. Out of control, making bad decision after bad decision and really leaving her crew in difficult positions (Vale is perfectly in her right to say “I told you so…). Other than that it’s a terrific middle novel and I’m excited to finish this trilogy (it should have been a movie BTW).
Awesome!!
Very hard book to put down, great story it should be a movie!! Book one was just as good, onto book 3! Cant wait... I highly recommend this trilogy series of books!!
Hated it.
If you don't mind Jean-Luc Picard being portrayed like an idiot, by all means, read it.
