The ongoing adventures of the ST: TNG crew are always fun, quick reads for me. While this was also a quick read, the mood of the novel seemed to be a bit more somber in this one, in the aftermath of the Federation's last encounter with the Borg Collective. I found myself very moved several times as the story progressed. In the midst of the seriousness, there are also some biting one-liners and comedic situations to help combat the heavy tone of the work.

I hate it when Star Trek gets preachy. This is one of those books that shows no thought to cosmology, biology or any reasonable likelihood of occurrence. I took it as a lecture to the United States on its immigration policies. If the destruction that occurred in the previous ST stories had happened, there would be drastically different things happening. We are talking about well traveled worlds, not the frontier. There would be hundreds of commercial ships running around the star systems. System

Not a bad ST:TNG book at all, but it's really going to be hard for anyone to follow-up on David Mack's incredible three-part epic "Destiny". Mack totally changed the ST:TNG universe, and now other authors are diving in and playing along, writing stories about the "clean up", as it were. This one was not one where ANYTHING really monumental or even particularly memorable happens, but it was well-written and paced, and the characters were accurate. I especially liked that Ca

While I still can't give it more than 3 stars, it was a pretty good book. The characters seem off to me. Worf and Picard were both given to grinning in this book. Um, what? Smiles, sure. But neither of these men are very big grinners. It was weird. Beverly is still pregnant and, like, 70. So gross.
However, it was not *nice* per se, but refreshing to see the Federation in a time of desperation and need. They always are shown as having an abundance of food and resources and ships. To More...

Losing the Peace is a pretty good book. It really reads like a historical account of the rebuilding phase of the Federation, as viewed through a few detailed accounts of what was going on immediately after the last Borg attack. Historical because it was a bit boring for me at times. Interesting because it did add to the whole Star Trek universe. Definitely worth reading, and probably necessary to read in order to keep up with any future books. The detail presented in each story line was ver

A look at the reconstruction efforts of the Federation through the eyes of its greatest hero, Captain Picard (and crew), continues the storyline of surviving the Borg and what comes next. Although there is not much action, the devastation wreaked from the recent war supplies plenty of conflict of its own in the form of dealing with the survivors. Of particular note are flashbacks of Dr. Crusher that fill in some historical gaps. Also an inspiring link to Captain/Admiral Kirk make this a truly

More of a 3.5 out of 5. Follow up to the "recent" Borg final attack to the Federation. Given how things are getting bad in the Federation due to lack of resources, lost planets and ships, it's a serious change in tone for the Star Trek books. Of course, Captain Picard and the Enterprise shows up and helps save the day. Well, this part of the day, but not the whole problem. If Pocket Books keeps the united theme running through all their Trek books, the Trek universe is changed for

This Star Trek: The Next Generation novel features the aftermath of the Borg war, which the Federation won. It’s well-written and covers a lot of ground (er, space) well, but I should have found the books that precede it, so I wouldn’t be finding out/piecing together the war stuff from the effects detailed here. Normally, I read series in order, but it’s been a while since I grabbed a ST: TNG book and I didn’t realize I’d left such an important gap. I strongly recommend you not do the same.

Leisner has a deft touch with characterization and dialog, but needs work on structure. The real story in this, his first novel, starts in the last 80 pages - the first 250-odd is mere setup.
Leisner's story is of the Enterprise's response to a refugee crisis in the Federation: he gives us 250pp describing the crisis, then wraps up Picard's and the crew's efforts at a solution in a quick - but satisfying - last act.
Should Leisner learn tighter structuring, he could beco More...

This one is actually pretty good, much better than the Voyager dreck that Pocket Books has been printing. It's a decent story with some believable characters reacting to the Federation's refugee crises post-Destiny. It's not without its problems though. As others have pointed out, the reliable stoics are all smiles and while I expect a certain amount of emotion (especially in a setting like this), this story was awash with it. Also this book continues peddling what I consider to be questiona

I can't give this book a 4.5, so I just gave it a 5. Others in a similar position gave it a 4, so I just rounded it out. If this book had been a stand alone novel, I would not have been so merciful. It's part of a continuity, though, so characters come developed and the situation already understood for those who follow. I think it's a fine book as far as ST novels go.

Kind of a letdown from the Destiny stuff, as the main problems the book end up being very procedural and boring. Pretty much a book-length epilogue to really drive home to whole "ZOMG the Borg pantsed us!" aspect of the Destiny trilogy. I was also very bummed that there was nothing about the new Typhon Pact powers (Tholians, Gorn, Kinshaya, Romulans and Breen).

Sadly, this book is a huge letdown after the Destiny trilogy. It's hard to follow a galaxy-sweeping epic, but this book was just another cookie cutter novel that would have fit right in with the novels of the 80s instead of bringing anything new to the table.

This took me only about a day to get through....partly because each recent Trek book has left fans wanting more because of the staggering events they've recently introduced, but also due to its great character development. It's great to see some of the new crew members begin to find a niche, and equally nice to see characters Trek fans are intimately familiar with continue to develop.

This is a very emotionally moving novel set after STNG: NEMESIS which entertains you with the ongoing adventures of the charachters you love while ading new ones, both likeable and not so likeable to the mix.

The whole Crusher/ Picard family thing... Weak. Worlf first officer instead of Geordi... Make no sense at all. New Security Chief and the half Vulcan half human lieutnant refresing and interesting thank God.

Taking place between the Destiny Series and A Singular Detiny, Losing the Peace follows the Enterprise as it is assigned to firefight the growing refugee crisis and political fallout after the Borg invasion. Nothing special, but probably an important link in the chain if you want to keep up with the characters.
