This needs to be read before Star Trek: Picard (the new TV series), or at any time after you begin watching it and wonder what happened to Picard that lead him to becoming an Admiral and then leaving Star Fleet.

This is a very well written story covering everything we need to know to more enjoy the series including how Picard met Raffi and their history; when and why Raffi started hitting the booze; Picard's history with Elnor; the Romulan exodus, supernova and Picard's part in it; the synth rebellion on Mars including Bruce Maddox and Agnes' history; and many other things besides.

There are a few glaring omissions in this book: it becomes very clear that the Romulan sun did not go bang naturally, that there was something nefarious going on which was deliberately covered up by the Tal Shiar.   I can only imagine one reason for not exploring this further in this book and that is because it will be dealt with in further seasons of the TV show -- or another Una book?   Whichever it is it certainly has the potential to stir up a huge bowl of gagh for our future Trekkie entertainment cravings.

So yeah, a must for all Trekkies. ( )

Well paced prequel to Star Trek:Picard. Fits neatly into the story as it has been unfolding.
Clearly well matched to the story arc as it has been rolling out, and clearly influenced by our world and current events (climate change denial, immigrant and refugee crisis) - very well done. ( )

An unusual Trek novel. First off, it's a tragedy, explaining the backstory to Picard. Una McCormack also took advantage of the comparative fanciness of Picard to get spicy with her style - it's markedly more literary than your average Trek novel (though that fades towards the end). I liked it and felt it gave lots of good context, despite not actually liking PIC that much.

Starts off strong--Captain WORF!--but gets a bit bogged down with the limitations of not being able to extend too far out of the confines of the TV show continuity. A big 1 for Trek with swearing though :) ( )

This is essentially a story about the logistics of a whole planet migration, and I found it quite boring. ( )

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We - even we here - hold the power and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just - a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless.
--Abraham Lincoln
State of the Union 1862
It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.
--Jean-Luc Picard
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
Emma Lazarus
"The New Colossus"

In latter days, sitting alone in his manor, pondering the events of the years that preceded this self-imposed exile, trying to understand where and how it had all gone wrong, M. Jean-Luc Picard (formerly of Starfleet) would often come back to one moment.
