Though, for one reason or another, Picard never acted on his feelings, he found a measure of contentment as Beverly's close friend, colleague, and daily breakfast partner. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut when Doctor Crusher leaves her position on the \u003ci\u003eEnterprise\u003c\/i\u003e to become the chief medical officer of Starfleet, the brightest light in Picard's life is taken from him. And he has hardly resigned himself to his loss when he learns that Beverly has been declared missing in action on a distant planet--and presumed dead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKevratas is a bleak, frozen world on the far side of the Romulan Neutral Zone where the Federation has become the plague-ravaged natives' only real hope of survival and freedom. Starfleet has no recourse but to send in another team to try to save the Kevrata--and Picard is the natural choice. Critical to the success of his mission are two colleagues who served under him when he commanded the \u003ci\u003eStarship Stargazer\u003c\/i\u003e--Pug Joseph, a man with a past to live down, and Doctor Carter Greyhorse, who has served time for attempted murder--as well as a Romulan who left his people years earlier and never expected to return. Together, they follow the trail of Beverly Crusher to Kevratas, determined to succeed where the doctor failed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the Romulan homeworld, meanwhile, the political vacuum created by the demise of Praetor Shinzon has been filled by his staunchest supporter, Senator Tal'aura. But there are those who oppose her, including Commander Donatra and the warbird fleets under her command, because of the way Tal'aura has mishandled rebellions on the Empire's subject worlds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd one rebellion in particular; the movement for self-determination on frigid Kevratas. So begins a desperate struggle--not only for the freedom of the long-oppressed Kevrata but also for the soul of the Romulan Empire. Before it's over, destinies will be forged and shattered, the Empire will be shaken to its ancient foundations, and Jean-Luc Picard's life will be changed...forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFriedman, Michael Jan:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Michael Jan Friedman is the author of nearly sixty books of fiction and nonfiction, more than half of which bear the name \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e or some variation thereof.
