About this eBook

An electrifying thriller starring Captain Jean-Luc Picard set in the Star Trek: The Next Generation universe.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard, his ship repaired, must now reassemble his crew. With the departure of both William Riker and ship's counsellor Deannna Troi, the captain must replace his two most trusted advisors. He chooses a Vulcan, a logical choice, and for his new first officer, Worf. But the Klingon refuses the promotion and the new ship's counsellor appears to actively dislike Worf. A simple shake-down mission should settle everything. Except that once again, the captain hears the song of the Borg collective. Admiral Janeway is convinced that the Borg have been crushed and are no longer a threat. Picard believes she is wrong, and that if the Enterprise doesn't act the entire Federation will be under the domination of its most oppressive enemy.

Ratings and reviews

"I am writing a Borg story" is Star Trek writer for "I am out of ideas and want to do a book on easy mode". This is, if anything, a worse book than any previous Borg-centric one. It really takes a certain amount of idiocy to go flanderize the entire cast like that, while also introducing a blatant Mary Sue as the ship's new councilor. My one and only regret (besides not getting a refund) is that I cannot give this odious tome zero stars.

Interesting reprise of borg dramas. Well written. My only issue is with Janeway's uncharacterisitic lack of empathy for Picard. Ive never not liked Janeway but in this i did.

A must read for all Trekkies
