Book description
An insidious plot for revenge has spanned several years in the life of
Jean-Luc Picard, but how did this merciless vendetta get started? Like a
double helix curling back on itself, the final answer lies at the very
beginning...
A series of terrorist attacks have heightened tensions between two
alien races, bringing an entire sector to the brink of interplanetary
war. While Picard, captain of the U. S.S. Stargazer, struggles
to keep the peace, Lieutenant Commander Jack Crusher must team up with
a Vulcan officer named Tuvok to uncover the hidden architect of the
attacks, but the outcome of their quest would breed dire consequences
for the future.
Michael Jan Friedman is the author of nearly sixty
books of fiction and nonfiction, more than half of which bear the name
Star Trek or some variation thereof. Ten of his titles have
appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. He has also
written for network and cable television, radio, and comic books, the
Star Trek: Voyager® episode "Resistance" prominent
among his credits. On those rare occasions when he visits the real
world, Friedman lives on Long Island with his wife and two sons.
He continues to advise readers that no matter how many Friedmans they
know, the vast probability is that none of them are related to him.
