Great accompaniment to the new show
The story before Star Trek : Picard, this book fills in the gaps regarding the Romulan relief mission, who Raffie and Elnor are and how they came into Picard’s life and more. As always, Robert Petkoff’s performance is first rate.

Space Filler
Fills in a whole load of blank spaces that happens before Star Trek Picard, so it becomes a lot more understandable about why Picard has left Star Fleet

Good beginning and middle
After the incident the book then started to jump forward years without explanation of what had happened. It almost felt the author got bored or needed to rush it.

a good filler for the series
a good accompaniment to the Picard series. Narrator did a good Picard impression which did not distract from the story.

Fantastic
The author captures the character of Picard perfectly and the narration is first class.
Perfect prequel to the series, but I recommend watching season 1 before listening.

Gripping throughout, rushed ending
A good story, but the ending seemed rushed. rather than build to a crescendo it just happened. Evidently to line up with the show.
Still good though

Changes the Narrative of the rebooted star trek
I enjoyed this book. Anyone who has watched the series' of star trek.
From the next generation it seemed all happy and utopian. Granted it had dark times with the Borg and later the Dominion. The original series it was mostly militaristic feel especially then on from star trek 2 the wrath of Khan.
The next Generation reflected the time I was bought up in. When it first started Cold War Tention which was felt in TOS, had died it was a mu h brighter World. But utopian world isn't enticing you need the Borg and dominion to give a sense of possible disaster.
Then the reboot filmed in an era of the "global war on Terror". 8 years before the Kelvin universe came into Being 9/11 happened. Then 2 massive war that then lead into most of the middle east at war.
As Sci-fi is written with the edge what current affairs its just after global economic turmoil and war.
So Kelvin timeline is a darker version of Star Trek.
This book deals with what happened and why the federation didn't help the Romulans as much they coulda/shoulda/woulda have done. So it leads into the newer darker avenues of the Trek Franchise.

Epic tragedy of high ideals undermined by banality
Very well told story, very well narrated and an all too believable lapse of the high standards of a civilization by everyday compromises and perhaps something more sinister.
Most of the character voices were convincing, but I think the narrator needs to research the pronunciation of Hagia Sophia.
