Synopsis

A thrilling new Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine adventure from New York Times bestselling author Dayton Ward!

2369: Shortly after Starfleet thwarts a Cardassian attack on a Federation star system, the Cardassian government orders an end to its fifty-year occupation of the planet Bajor. As a result, a newly installed Bajoran government requests immediate assistance from the Federation to mediate how the withdrawal will proceed and what recompense, if any, Bajorans are owed from their brutal oppressors. Captain Jean-Luc Picard is ordered by Starfleet Command to oversee these tense negotiations on Terok Nor, the massive Cardassian space station still orbiting Bajor, even as he still deals with his own recent trauma as a prisoner held and tortured by a Cardassian interrogator.

As these critical peace talks get underway, Ensign Ro Laren receives a call for help from a friend thought long dead, exposing an insidious secret from inside Cardassian space. Now, Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise must act to prevent an interstellar incident from reigniting deadly hostilities between the Federation and the Cardassians, and shattering any hope of justice for the Bajoran people…

The events at Minos Korva have forced the Cardassian Empire into an embarrassing climb down, leading to their withdrawal from the B'hava'el system and the liberation of the Bajorans.

Back in the heyday of Star Trek’s first revival, when we had The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager soaring across our screens, I was a devoted reader of the wider tie-in literary universe. There was nothing like going to the bookstore and seeing a new ‘episode’ on the shelves, just waiti......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on June 02, 2024

Well-written & sharply characterized as always; I'm surprised it took this long to fill this particular storytelling gap in the canon. But I must say that the reading experience left me feeling "meh". I would have preferred a brand new adventure at this point...it feels like nice but unnecessary bac......more

Goodreads review by Geonn on December 27, 2024

I always wanted more about Bajor kicking the Cardassians to the curb, and I finally got it! And closure for a TNG episode I never knew I needed. It was a great crossover between TNG and DS9, with a lot of great character interactions I would have loved to see actually happen. Even though some of my......more
