The second novel in a two-part Typhon Pact adventure set in the universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation. After the disastrous events in the Bajoran system, Captain Benjamin Sisko must confront the consequences of the recent choices he has made in his life.

While factions within the Pact unsuccessfully used the recent gestures of goodwill–the opening of borders and a joint Federation-Romulan exploratory mission–to develop quantum slipstream drive, they have not given up their goals. Employing a broad range of assets, from Romulus to Cardassia, from Ab-Tzenketh to Bajor, they embark on a dangerous new plan to acquire the technology they need to take control of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. While UFP President Bacco and Romulan Praetor Kamemor work feverishly to reestablish peace, …

While UFP President Bacco and Romulan Praetor Kamemor work feverishly to reestablish peace, Captains Sisko, Jean-Luc Picard, and Ro Laren stand on the front lines of the conflict... even as a new danger threatens the Bajoran wormhole as it once more becomes a flashpoint of galactic history.

The new Deep Space Nine you didn't know you needed

5 stars

Wow! George has always been one of my favorite Star Trek authors but this blew me away.

The book begins seconds before the previous novel ended. U.S.S. Robinson exits the worm whole to find explosions galore and Sisko may never be the same again.

It's certainly an odd story though. 400 pages, only 24 chapters, but a prologue and an epilogue that make up 100 of those pages.

The Romulan praetor is committed to peace even when everything the Romulans have been doing leads the rest of the universe to believe otherwise, but she goes to great lengths to make it reality.

The leaps between the real world, the past, the wormhole are written so amazingly that something that should be incredibly confusing is even easier to follow than if it was in front of your face, and I have never had so may out loud physical emotional responses to …
