Riker did not underestimate the United Federation of Planets. To them I would say, don’t underestimate the United Federation of Planets.Ĭaptain William T. There are those who might doubt our ability to do all these things at once. The Luna- class starships will continue-and, in the Titan ’s case, resume-their missions far beyond our borders: seeking out new worlds, new civilizations, and new lifeforms and offering, to those that are ready, our hand in friendship. …More important, though Starfleet is needed for the recovery and reconstruction and to render aid, we will renew our commitment to its mission of peaceful exploration, diplomatic outreach, and open scientific inquiry. We will honor the sacrifices of all those who fought and died to defend us, by committing ourselves to repairing the damage that’s been done and creating a future that they would have been proud of. We will not shrink from the challenge of raising back up what the Borg have knocked down. And, I love that they've given characters like Palazar, Ogawa, and Tuvok new life through these books! Read more I don't have a problem with the diversity of characters, it's just that sometimes it makes the scenes just a bit too confusing, trying to figure out who is referring to whom. Whew, I was tired just reading it all.The one thing that wasn't as great was just how many semi-regular characters of all sorts of different races, types, heck one of them is referred to as 'it'. And then Bennett adds in Deanna Troi and the impending birth, very impending birth of her girl and some interesting subplots to go with that.

But even far from home on a mission of hope, the scars of the recent cataclysm remain with them as they slowly rebuild their lives.
