Star Trek: The Fall: The Crimson Shadow
Star Trek: The Fall: The Crimson Shadow | Una McCormack
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
The second original novel in the electrifying The Next Generation/Deep Space Nine crossover event! Cardassia Prime is home to a prideful people who, for centuries, forged alliances with those they believed would strengthen them and their place in the Alpha Quadrant, and expanded their empire at great cost to other worlds. For generations, dissenting voices were silenced by either fear or an early grave. When their wartime ally, the Dominion, suddenly turned on them, seeking to transform Cardassia into a tomb for every last member of their race, their old adversary—the United Federation of Planets— put an end to the carnage, and even now works to help rebuild Cardassia Prime. To celebrate this alliance, the Castellan of the Cardassian Union is to welcome the Federation president to Cardassia Prime. As a symbol of this deepening friendship, the U.S.S. Enterprise-E is tasked to carry the Cardassian ambassador to the Federation back home. For his part, Ambassador Elim Garak is working with Captain Jean-Luc Picard to oversee the diplomatic reception that will commemorate the last of Starfleet’s personnel finally leaving the homeworld. However, there are malevolent forces at work, who even now strive to “restore Cardassia to its proper place and glory,” and are willing to do anything to achieve their goal....

One of my favorite Star Trek novels to date, really showcasing Una McCormack's talent.

Peterdamien I ADORE that book. I devoured it. She's my favorite Trek writer. I wish she had a lot more written so far. 8y

Imagine a John Le Carré novel, set after the fall of the USSR, with a murder mystery wrapped in it. Now put all of that in Star Trek, with gorgeous writing. That's this book. Best trek book I've read to date.

Many Star Trek books are decently written, at best the writing not getting in the way. This one is genuinely WELL WRITTEN. An author whose work I'll pursue outside of Trek novels. I'm really loving it. (Also: that cover. That ship. SWOON)

Magslhalliday Una writes lots of great stuff. 9y
