Synopsis

The past comes back to haunt Captain Jean-Luc Picard in this brand new thriller set in the universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Section 31, the covert organization which has operated without accountability in the shadows for more than two centuries, has been exposed. Throughout the Federation, the rogue group’s agents and leaders are being taken into custody as the sheer scope of its misdeeds comes to light. Now Starfleet Command must decide the consequences for numerous officers caught up in the scandal—including Admirals William Ross, Edward Jellico, Alynna Nechayev, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard who, along with many others, are implicated in the forced removal of a Federation president.

Meanwhile, deep in the distant, unexplored region of space known as the Odyssean Pass, Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise must put aside personal feelings and political concerns as they investigate a massive mysterious spacecraft. Adrift for centuries in the void, the ship is vital to the survival of an endangered civilization which has spent generations searching for a world to sustain what remains of its people. Complicating matters is a band of marauders who have their own designs on the ancient ship, with only the Enterprise standing in their way....

Goodreads review by Bon Tom on June 22, 2020

So many things happening on multiple fronts that it's sometimes a bit hard to follow. But this is classic example of very well written Start Trek novel with lots of what gives ST books an edge compared to the TV series: inner monologues and "behind the scenes" explanations of character turmoils. That......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on April 04, 2019

First, a few thoughts: (1) why does the cover depict the Enterprise rendezvousing with a Vorlon fleet right out of "Babylon 5", and (2) why have Trek novels suddenly jumped in size and in price? Well, with that out of the way...this is as well written as I expected it to be, but after recent events......more

Goodreads review by Dan on July 10, 2019

A strong continuation of the on-going story post-Nemesis, drawing a lot from the previous novels going all the way back to the A Time To series. Very excited to see this story continue, and the personal stakes for Picard continue to mount. The main part of the story, involving the exploration of a s......more

I picked this up and COLLATERAL DAMAGE as a way to read about the final storylines of the Star Trek Novelverse. With the new Picard series, much of the Novelverse and its lengthy continuity is overwritten and that's a shame. However, this is a good story dealing with Picard on one last exploratory m......more
