On Earth, Federation President Nanietta Bacco gathers allies and adversaries to form a desperate last line of defense against an impending Borg invasion. In deep space, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Captain Ezri Dax join together to cut off the Collective's route to the Alpha Quadrant. Half a galaxy away, Captain William Riker and the crew of the Starship Titan have made contact with the reclusive Caeliar -- survivors of a stellar cataclysm that, two hundred years ago, drove fissures through the structure of space and time, creating a loop of inevitability and consigning another captain and crew to a purgatory from which they could never escape. Now the supremely advanced Caeliar will brook no further intrusion upon their isolation, or against the sanctity of their Great Work....For the small, finite lives of mere mortals carry little weight in the calculations of gods. But even gods may come to understand that they underestimate humans at their peril.

I try to shy away from Star Trek books, since most are just so poorly written, but I tried my luck and was richly rewarded!
This entire trilogy is just awesome! It's Trek at it's best. Besides the typical trek writing, my other fear was “Oh great, another book about the borg, the Enterprise narrowly escaping and saving the day” but was pleasantly surprised that that wasn't the case (well of course to some degree it was LOL), and along the way, huge things happened that were just awesome.
If you're a sci fi fan, but leery of Trek books, give this series a shot, it's a good read!
Seamlessly picking up right where book 1 left off, David Mack continues to spin a masterful tale full of space battles and mysteries as well as some very compelling plot lines around the human condition, aging and the concept of immortality, warts and all.
Solid read with some very interesting parts in the middle. Better than I could have ever expected from a Star Trek Universe Novel.
