The last of the four Zalkat Union artefacts have been located
and the deadly weapons - which can control planetary weather
and human thought - have been turned against the Federation.
It's up to the captains and crews of the Federation starships
Enterprise and Hood, and the Klingon ship Gorkon
to halt the seemingly unstoppable death and destruction...
The
nasty business with the Zalkatian artefacts continues in book
two of The Brave and the Bold.
First
we get a little pre-Caretaker Voyager which
features Chakotay's Maquis cell. In this story, we learn precisely
how and why Tuvok infiltrated the Maquis which is a nice touch.
Then we move sideways in time to Picard's Enterprise
and the discovery of the fourth artefact.
Unfortunately,
the previous pieces have been lost along with several important
people in both the Klingon Empire and the Federation - including
Federation Ambassadors Worf and Spock. Captains Picard and
Klingon commander Klag must work together to find them.
Yes,
you're right, it does all smell a little like someone meeting
a bet. The "Can you get everyone who was anyone into two Trek
novels?" type of thing. However, it works, just about, although
much of the action seems either rushed of really too slight
to carry the feeling of doom that should have permeated the
narrative.
