About this ebook

An all-new novel of The Next Generation expanded universe from the New York Times bestselling author!

It is a new age of exploration, and the U.S.S. Enterprise is dispatched to “the Odyssean Pass,” a region charted only by unmanned probes and believed to contain numerous inhabited worlds. Approaching a star system with two such planets, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew find a massive alien vessel, drifting in interstellar space for decades. Sensors detect life aboard the derelict—aliens held in suspended animation. Thought to be an immense sleeper ship, the vessel actually is a weapon capable of destroying entire worlds...the final gambit in a war that has raged for generations across the nearby system. Captain Picard is now caught in the middle of this conflict and attempts to mediate, as both sides want this doomsday weapon…which was sent from the future with the sole purpose of ending the interplanetary war before it even began!

Ratings and reviews

A nice storyline development of TNG Canon. The writing is a little turgid, and the plot line does lose thrust three quarter ways through. However the progress does pickup in the las four chapters. An entertaining read.

I enjoyed this episode of TNG. It has all the elements of a good show: temporal displacement, battles, etc. I liked reading it as it gave more background regarding the characters and their relationships.

Holds your attention and makes you want to keep going, even at 1a.m. Very good adaptation of the characters after all these books. The author obviously know something about the series.
