The Klingon Empire stands on the precipice. In the wake of violence from the cult known as the Unsung, paranoia threatens to break Chancellor Martok’s regime. Klingons increasingly call for a stronger hand to take control...one that Lord Korgh, master manipulator, is only too willing to offer.

But other forces are now in motion. Assisted by a wily agent, the Empire’s enemies secretly conspire to take full advantage of the situation. Aboard the USS Titan, Admiral William T. Riker realizes far more than the Federation’s alliance with the Klingons is in danger. With the Empire a wounded animal, it could either become an attacker—or a target.

Yet even as hostilities increase, Commander Worf returns to the USS Enterprise and Captain Jean-Luc Picard with a daring plan of his own. The preservation of both the Empire and the Federation alliance may hinge on an improbable savior leading a most unlikely force....

Geordi La Forge deserves a romance plot

3 stars

I already covered (and gave 4 stars) to the series overall in my review of the first book in this series. I am docking this 3rd installment one star for the fact that every time someone can really build a relationship with Geordi, they have be a hologram or they're a nausicaan with no lips. Geordi's awkwardness on the show always felt really forced and weird. It only came up when it was important to his narrative. He was maybe a little shy and reserved, but they could have worked with that to show that romance happens between all sorts of people with all kinds of personalities. They had the chance in this book too and they just skipped it.
