Summary
From the New York Times best-selling author of Star Trek: Discovery: Desperate Hours comes an original, thrilling novel set in the universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation!
The past returns to haunt Captain Jean-Luc Picard - a crime he thought long-buried has been exposed, and he must return to Earth to answer for his role in a conspiracy that some call treason. Meanwhile, the USS Enterprise is sent to apprehend pirates who have stolen vital technology from a fragile Federation colony. But acting captain Commander Worf discovers that the pirates’ motives are not what they seem and that sometimes, standing for justice means defying the law....

Wow!! Best ST audio-book I've ever listened to!
This really is a cut above most Star Trek novels. The story is utterly compelling, with amazingly well-drawn and fadcinating characters. You know the author must be something special if they can make Nausicaans seem sympathetic, and world-build them a believable and fascinating culture and back-story. I'm going to go back and find other David Mack ST novels because he's clearly an exceptionally talented author. I'm thinking back to the Garak novel, a Stitch in Time, for the last time I found one so compelling. Narration was excellent, as is always the case with Petkoff.

Excellent
This is my favourite of the Star Trek audiobooks so far, and I've listened to many! I'm on my 2nd listening of this one.
David Mack's writing is great, I especially appreciated the character of agent O'Connor, I really enjoyed the injection of some humour into the story via this lovable rogue. I'd love to see him return in future novels. Like his character, several elements of the story focus on 'grey areas' of morality and are a thought provoking break from any 'good vs. evil' over-simplification.
Robert Petkoff does an awesome job as always of the character's voices, his skills are second to none.

A bit of a detour
Not much focus on primary tng characters, except for the second to last chapter. It's worth a listen, it's not quite the camaraderie I was expecting between the characters - the characters don't come off the pages to fill my brain with a 4d picture.
Not sure what will be my next listen!

A bit underwhelmed
I am a huge Trek fan and TNG is my favourite Trek, so I was delighted to get the chance of listening to these newer Enterprise-E stories. Unfortunately I wasn't really feeling it and ended up a bit disappointed with this one. I guess if you're looking to recapture some of that 80s and 90s TNG nostalgia then this isn't the book to do it. I really missed the Enterprise-D crew here, and while Picard was the main focus, Worf, La Forge and Dr Crusher were barely featured. That being said, I really enjoyed the narration by Robert Petkoff who was his usual fantastic self!

David Mack at his best
This is the book that started my near obsession with Star Trek reading, I watched the tv series in the 70s. My son sent me this one as a gift I think it is one of the best reads of all the Star Trek books I’ve read so far.

Brilliant and Spectacular Audiobook!!
The story of this audiobook is fabulous and original. The narrator was wonderful and sublime. His narration were clear, audible and easy to follow. Voices of the characters were done in a superb manner. I really enjoyed this Star Trek audiobook. The story was compelling to listen to and I was engrossed in the drama of this Sci Fi tale. It was well worth the 12 hrs approx duration of this audiobook. Robert Petkoff is an excellent narrator. David Mack is a fantastic Star Trek writer.

A Great Book to jump back into Star Trek
David Mack is one of the best writers for Star Trek books and this is no different.
I'll admit to being a little skeptical of jumping into an audiobook this far along in the timeline of Star Trek. I was worried that I couldn't understand what was going on and who the main players were now. BUT I was wrong. I did pick up this one because it was Captain Picard centric and I'm looking forward to the new series coming out in January 2020.
A lot of the characters are new but I felt like I got to know them right away. And a quite a few were ones that we had previously seen on The Next Generation (and Voyager). The plot was dependent on earlier books with a focus on Tezwa and the then Federation President but the author gives you enough information to understand the events that are happening and you can then focus on the present moment and what IS actually going on.
The narrator is also excellent - having done quite a few Star Trek books prior - so that made listening comfortable and interesting as he did plenty of modulation with his voice to distinguish between characters.
All in all this was an excellent adventure and I know feel like I can jump back into the Next Generation timeline and enjoy more books in this range as long as Simon & Shuster and Audible continue to offer them!

David Mack & Robert Petkoff are great!
I have always enjoyed when Petkoff reads a MackStar Trek book! They did not disappoint in this book. Great way to know more about Picard and his crew.
Very enjoyable story.

It was OK but not great.
This was the first time I’ve read a Star Trek fiction book. The story line is akin to an average episode of TNG. Once the story gets going it is enjoyable but it does take time to get there.
The narrator does a really fantastic job. The voicing of the characters is very lively and it really helps make the story “Engaging“ (pun intended)
I may come back to the story at some point but maybe not. It is worth a listen in my opinion.

David Mack, always good
This was written by David Mack, in my humble opinion, the best Trek writer alive. It was beautifully read by Robert Petkoff. If you like Picard or TNG, you'll enjoy this book.

An alright story, an annoying narrative.
There's some pronouncing of star trek words that aren't the best. What's the most annoying aspect of this story is that going from chapter to chapter, it goes from 3rd person limited to first person back and forth. It's very annoying and I hope they don't do it again. I'm an hour thirty five minutes into the story I like it so far.

A cinematic book
I found the author brought me in to a visual STNG episode - a very good one - and brought all the threads home in a theatric conclusion
All th players should take a Bow ..
