About this eBook

Continuing the events detailed in Star Trek: Destiny: With the displacement and devastation wrought by the Borg, can the Federation survive?

Fortune has smiled on Lieutenant Jasminder Choudhury, chief of security on the U.S.S Enterprise.™ She has survived. But her homeworld, Deneva, one of the planets targeted in the massive Borg invasion, has not. The entire surface has been wiped clean of everything, killing anyone who did not evacuate and rendering the planet uninhabitable. Choudhury is left to wonder whether her family was one of the displaced. Or are they all gone forever?

The Enterprise is just one ship, and Jasminder Choudhury is just one officer, yet her story is being repeated over and over across the galaxy. Hundreds of thousands of displaced persons haunt the space ways, seeking comfort, looking for someplace safe, somewhere, anywhere to find solace. Captain Jean-Luc Picard is ordered to do everything he can to rescue and if need be to recover the lost souls from the Borg invasion.

For the first time in generations, citizens of the Federation know want, uncertainty, and fear. Bloodied yet unbowed, the Federation now stands on the edge of a precipice. The captain of the Enterprise finds himself in the unenviable position of wondering whether it is true that those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace.

All I can say is the CONSTANT use of flashbacks absolutely annihilates the flow of the story. This is otherwise just a middle of the road novel meant to weld two story arcs together.

Finally! No more grim grey and sad books! I was tired of captains being abducted, replaced with clones mirror universe and not even a small joke in the entire book! I love how the real problems cross with funny moments. The best was Picard s quote after his crew members messed out" by mistake" with the sub space communication array lol awesome book!

I normally don't really get a chance to read paper printed books, let alone when I do it is Star Trek, I am more of a Star Wars fan but this one I got through in around a month despite reading it in printed form and not on my phone.
