Publisher's Summary

An original novel based upon the explosive new Star Trek TV series on CBS All Access!

It is 2246, 10 years prior to the Battle at the Binary Stars, and an aggressive contagion is ravaging the food supplies of the remote Federation colony Tarsus IV and the 8,000 people who call it home. Distress signals have been sent, but any meaningful assistance is weeks away. Lieutenant Commander Gabriel Lorca and a small team assigned to a Starfleet monitoring outpost are caught up in the escalating crisis, and bear witness as the colony's governor, Adrian Kodos, employs an unimaginable solution in order to prevent mass starvation.

While awaiting transfer to her next assignment, Commander Philippa Georgiou is tasked with leading to Tarsus IV a small, hastily assembled group of first responders. It's hoped this advance party can help stabilize the situation until more aid arrives, but Georgiou and her team discover that they're too late - Governor Kodos has already implemented his heinous strategy for extending the colony's besieged food stores and safeguarding the community's long-term survival.

In the midst of their rescue mission, Georgiou and Lorca must now hunt for the architect of this horrific tragedy and the man whom history will one day brand "Kodos the Executioner"....

fun idea that couldn't have been bettet

I found it a bit dull, and there were a few spots that didn't make sense. however the story had an interesting setting and many characters felt alive.

Avoid

It’s the most boring plot a 3rd grader could have written with generic dialogue that sounds like it was hashed out by a low budget A.I. It’s guaranteed to make you think “This sounds way too obvious, there must be a plot twist coming...” No! It’s exactly what you thought would happen.
Unlike the other books in this series, there was no heart or thought put into this. Just a writer with a deadline.
Ugh 😑

The book was great until the ending

The book was great keep going to the point of not wanting to turn it off when I had to.

The ending was left a little want for a better ending and a dragged on through some unnecessary mud but the rest of the book is great
