Publisher's summary

The thrilling untold adventure based on the acclaimed Star Trek: Picard TV series!

The Alpha Quadrant is mired in crisis. Within the United Federation of Planets, a terrorist strike on the shipyards of Mars has led to the shutdown of all relief efforts for millions of Romulans facing certain doom from an impending super­nova. But when the USS Titan is drawn into a catastrophic incident on the Romulan-Federation border, Captain William Riker, his family, and his crew find themselves caught between the shocking secrets of an enigmatic alien species and the deadly agenda of a ruthless Tal Shiar operative.

Forced into a wary alliance with a Romulan starship commander, Riker and the Titan crew must uncover the truth to stop a devastating attack — but one wrong move could plunge the entire sector into open conflict!

Great Backstory

The book builds on the events leading up to the TV series very well. Made me appreciate how nuanced the characters have become.

Developing the dystopian Picard series

Meets expectations. Secret Hideout Trek in full effect unfortunately. Characters all in self regret

Feels like Star Trek

After Star Trek: Picard, I felt that the feeling of Star Trek I was inspired by was left for a more action/drama show with Star Trek in the background. This book FEELS like Star Trek and answers for many of the issues that do not make sense in Picard.

Star Trek

Very much enjoyed this adventure of the Riker and Troi family with their young son. Gave me insight as to how they spent their years and a good intro to young Thadeus. I hope we get more stories about them aboard the Titan.
