[edit] Summary
- From the book jacket
- Without warning, a Starfleet ship is overwhelmed by a mysterious, alien aggressor – one who appears to possess an intimate knowledge of the vessel's tactical technology. Then a second Starfleet ship is attacked. And a third.
- Twenty-eight-year-old Jean-Luc Picard, captain of the USS Stargazer – a Constellation-class starship – is ordered to help form a desperate line of defense against the aggressor. But it seems nothing can stop the aliens' headlong plunge into the heart of the Federation.
- Or rather, nothing in front of them can. Trailing one of the alien attack formations is a tiny Starfleet shuttle with a half dozen crewmembers aboard. One of them is Picard's first officer and best friend, Gilaad Ben Zoma.
- Another is Arlen McAteer, the ambitious admiral who has made it his business to relieve Picard of his command.
- Can Ben Zoma and McAteer work together to unlock the secret of the alien assault? Or will their differences sabotage their effort - and deprive the Federation of its last hope for survival?
