On the cusp of their epic battle with Shinzon, many of Captain Jean-Luc Picard's long-time crew were heading for new assignments and new challenges.

On the cusp of their epic battle with Shinzon, many of Captain Jean-Luc Picard's long-time crew were heading for new assignments and new challenges. Among the changes were William Riker's promotion to captain and his new command, Riker's marriage to Counselor Deanna Troi, and Dr. Beverly Crusher's new career at Starfleet Medical. But the story of what set them on a path away from the Starship Enterprise™ has never been told.

UNTIL NOW.

The site of one of the Dominion War's fiercest battles, the Rashanar Sector now contains a vast interstellar graveyard littered with the lifeless hulks of hundreds of devastated starships. The explosive destruction of so many varied warp drives has severely distorted the space-time continuum in this region, resulting in dangerous unleashed energies and bizarre gravitational anomalies.

The Enterprise has been assigned to patrol the perimeter of the danger zone, while other vessels carry out the difficult and highly hazardous task of retrieving the bodies of the dead from the wrecked warships.

To some alien races, the former battleground is hallowed space. To others, including the rapacious Androssi, it is a scavenger's paradise, ripe for salvage. None expect this ship's graveyard to hold a deadly secret that will force the android Data to make a heart-wrenching decision about the path his life will take -- and that will endanger not only the Enterprise, but Picard's future in Starfleet.

    This book is almost brutally cut in two parts.
    The first one actually deals with the investigations in the Rashanar Battle Site, where the crews of two Starfleet vessels face apparently unexplainable events, looters, scavengers and dangers beyond any expectation.
    Unfortunately the book does a poor jobs in creating real suspense or to develop the mysteries in a logical way: they are simply there and a sudden - possible - explanation just come up in half a page.

    Immediately after this, the books turns in a procedural drama where Captain Picard and Lt. Cmdr. Data must stand trial for dereliction of duty and other accusations.
    While this second part is intriguing in showing us Starfleet's procedures rarely seen on television, it is evident to the reader that the whole trial has been made up for the purpose of creating the impression of a false danger for our heroes.
    Attitude towards Data and Picard are simply unrealistic as are the evidences presented.

    The book come in a economic form with a grey, light paper and an elegantly-designed soft-cover.
