Publisher's Summary

The thrilling untold adventure based on the acclaimed Star Trek: Picard TV series!

The Alpha Quadrant is mired in crisis. Within the United Federation of Planets, a terrorist strike on the shipyards of Mars has led to the shutdown of all relief efforts for millions of Romulans facing certain doom from an impending super­nova. But when the USS Titan is drawn into a catastrophic incident on the Romulan-Federation border, Captain William Riker, his family, and his crew find themselves caught between the shocking secrets of an enigmatic alien species and the deadly agenda of a ruthless Tal Shiar operative.

Forced into a wary alliance with a Romulan starship commander, Riker and the Titan crew must uncover the truth to stop a devastating attack — but one wrong move could plunge the entire sector into open conflict!

Petkoff is as wonderful as ever

Robert Petkoff's performance is second to none. His ability to capture the subtle mannerisms of the original actors is uncanny, making this an engrossing listen. The story, however, is just ok. Tropes, rather than being nostalgic throwbacks, seem tired and cliché. Swallow seems to discover, about halfway through the book, how many ways the word "aspect" can be used, and takes full advantage of it. The story is also not completely relevant to the Picard series except insofar as it takes place amongst the events preceding it, and offers some clue as to how Thad got sick. Though it seems to overexplain why Troi and Riker end up on a planet (keeping the family safe), as, iirc, in Picard they said the particular planet where they settled was chosen specifically for the purposes of healing Thad.
