About this ebook

The time has come to finally avenge the Choraii for the atrocities of the Hamlin Massacre, and Jean-Luc Picard and his crew are ready.

The Hamlin Massacre—every Starfleet officer knows the tale. The tiny Federation outpost of Hamlin was destroyed, its entire adult population ruthlessly slaughtered, before the first defense shield could be raised. Even worse, the colony's children disappeared without a trace, abducted by the aliens who attacked with a ferocity and speed that outmatched their Starfleet pursuers.

Now, fifty years later, the Choraii ships have appeared again. But this time the Federation is ready; this time the Choraii must pay for what they need. The precious metals can only be bought with the Hamlin children still living with their captors.

This time, the Choraii must face Captain Jean-Luc Picard—and the crew of the starship Enterprise.

Ratings and reviews

Have the paperback version and its gotten to the point its to worn to read so the digital version is my answer now I can read it time n time again without issue. Overall the story is good, its slow in parts but that typical STTNG in general so nothing new there plot wise. From the writing style you can tell its still early season since the development isn't there, but over all the story line is solid n based on early information at the time it was written it works for what it is.
