About this ebook

The first in a thrilling trilogy from the bestselling authors of Vulcan’s Forge and Vulcan’s Heart chronicles the latter-day adventures of one of Star Trek’s most beloved characters, shedding new light on his world’s fascinating history.

One year after the end of the Dominion War, the Romulan Star Empire comes under attack by a mysterious and alarmingly powerful enemy calling itself the Watraii, a species with a long-standing vendetta against the Romulans. Yet though they remain tenuously allied, the Federation, the Romulans, and the Klingons are ill-prepared to become embroiled in another sustained conflict, forcing Ambassador Spock, Admiral Uhura, Admiral Chekov, Captain Saavik, and some unexpected allies to defy their governments in order to meet the new threat head-on.

But the first blood drawn may prove to be among the dearest of all. Unknown to the defenders, the secret behind the Watraii’s attack is buried in Vulcan’s violent ancient past, during the time of Surak himself. Now Spock must begin the first leg of a long and dangerous road to learn the truth...before his hopes for the future become ashes.

Ratings and reviews

A nice blend of Vulcan history ( about Surak and those that help to bring logic to Vulcan), along with the history of those that choice to be exiled into space in hopes to preserve their culture that was on the brink of destorying their homeworld, in search of a New Vulcan; into the blend a new race (Watraii) tell the Romulans they what their homeworlds back, starting with Romulus and Remus. Now Spock, with an alliance fleet of Federation and Non-Fed ships confront the Watraii in hopes to understand their claims agains the Romulans and to deter another war. ... looking forward to the rest of the series.
