Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
The aftermath of the destiny trilogy, an interesting follow up
I really enjoyed the story, the set up was interesting, although it resolved a little too easily, in typical TNG fashion, it could have used a little more ds9 type tension. If you read destiny, definitely check out this book
Major Changes Ahead For the Federation.
An imperfect world now begins. The rebuilding, reorganizing and re-tooling of the United Federation of Planets wont be easy since 40% of its population has been wiped out by the Borg. This book does not key in on just one single story but rather, a myriad of different scenarios of things going wrong as a result of the war's aftermath. Well written and easy flowing read. Sometimes in the Star Trek world, we tend to forget that human beings have a vunerable side behind all of the slick technology and cunning weapons. William Leisner reminds us that even in a virtual Utopia, human beings can still be challenged by the same obstacles that they faced in centuries past.
