A Tale of Two Cities

This is a weird one. This story started out life as an XXX film, but once the explicit scenes were cut, we find there’s a good Star Trek story involved – and the acting’s not that bad either!
The Enterprise crew finds a shock on a barren world – Tasha Yar in suspended animation! Once back on board, she finds it hard to reintegrate with this peaceful crew (remember where she came from), but this is Star Trek, and things are never quite what they seem!

The trilogy of Fractured books are together in this compendium.
The universe is Fractured as Piper finds herself and her crew at the pivot point of a calamity that could unravel the entire universe. Through many adventures, including a trip back to First Contact, then having to put a stop to the Nerada, then finally journeying into the future, where they find themselves more than spectators to an attempt at peace between the Federation and Romulus that goes horribly awry…

Sorya

On the final voyage of the restored Enterprise-D, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard and his old crew are given what seems a simple diplomatic mission: escort a Klingon bride to New Romulus for a wedding meant to symbolise a fragile new peace. But Lady Kudraga of the House of Antaak carries with her a legacy that reaches back to Narendra III, the Enterprise-C, and the sacrifice of Lieutenant Tasha Yar — a woman honoured by Kudraga’s House as Sorya, their saviour.
Kara doesn’t often submit to the site, but when she does, she gives us gold.
Sorya is a marvellous story that brings a beautiful coda to the end of the ST Picard series, by giving the Enterprise-D a wonderful send-off and by closing the book on the story of Tasha Yar – and her much maligned half-Romulan daughter, Sela.
The story ties their story together from all timelines, and reminds us of what a wonderful woman Tasha was and how badly her character was treated by the writers.
Nearly all the TNG characters get something to do, and there’s a marvellous thread involving Data and his memories of Tasha, even given his resurrection(s).
Kara also writes in an immersive fashion that really has one seeing the scenes played out. Her prose is often quite poetic.
This is on my list of Highly Recommended.

Categories: Novels

When the Federation science ship Leviathan is destroyed in orbit of the long-lost Wendorian home world, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise are dispatched to uncover the truth before suspicion ignites a war with the Romulan Empire.
On Wendor, ancient ruins whisper of a vanished civilisation whose power may have surpassed even the Federation’s. Among the Sindarians, descendants of Wendor’s forgotten legacy, Picard receives warnings of prophecy, apocalypse, and an entity known only as the Huundhraeyl. But as Starfleet searches for rational answers, Commander Data begins a spiritual quest of his own—one that may lead him to discover whether a machine can possess a soul.
With a Romulan Warbird looming at the edge of Federation space, survivors missing beneath Wendor’s dead skies, and an ancient force stirring in the shadows, the Enterprise must confront a mystery that reaches beyond science, faith, and the fragile boundary between life and oblivion.

Dealing with the Cardassians was always like trying to dance with a snake. Edward Jellico knew this. However, the people he was forced to work with in Starfleet didn’t always understand his vision – or his way of doing things.
This is the diary of Edward Jellico from his time on the Enterprise-D and beyond…
Star Trek: Yesterday’s Enterprise – The Ambassador
Categories: Novels
Blurb
When a starship falls from the heavens, an entire world is thrust into destiny.
A catastrophic crash on the pre‑warp planet Ethos shatters the illusion of isolation for a civilization that has never known darkness—or the wider universe beyond its skies. As the Federation starship Ambassador is torn apart and its sister ship, the Enterprise, races to respond, rescue becomes only the beginning of a far greater reckoning.
Captain Rachel Garrett must navigate the razor’s edge between duty and disaster as first contact turns volatile, ancient prophecies awaken, and a self‑proclaimed goddess tightens her grip on a fearful people. Beneath the planet’s eternal suns, political intrigue, religious fervor, and buried secrets collide—while far above, Starfleet itself begins to fracture under the strain of impossible choices.
Spanning the wreckage of a fallen flagship, the corridors of power on Earth and Betazed, and the myth‑soaked battlements of an alien empire, The Ambassador is an epic tale of sacrifice, belief, and the dangerous allure of absolute power. Rich with character, moral complexity, and classic Star Trek grandeur, this novel asks a timeless question:
When angels descend from the sky… who decides whether they bring salvation—or ruin?

Categories: Novels

The Federation is desperate, the Tholian Assembly is building a war fleet, and the fragile peace after Wolf 359 hangs by a thread. Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Counselor Deanna Troi are dispatched on an unlikely mission: to “babysit” Begemot’s ambassador aboard the luxury liner Queen of Begemot.
But beneath the glittering decks lies a society built on a mercantile caste system, where unrest simmers and assassination plots threaten to derail Begemot’s admission into the Federation. As Starfleet Intelligence races to secure this strategic world, Picard must confront both political deception and his own haunted past.
The Queen of Begemot is a gripping tale of diplomacy, espionage, and survival—where the fate of an entire sector may hinge on one ship, one ambassador, and one captain’s resolve.
