I admit this book built up a great set of suspense... Then dropped the reader on its arse. It ended too quickly, too cleanly, too easily. I felt cheated by this novel's ending. While it was nice to see the Federation run into an alien that wasn't humanoid, it left much to be desired. The book attempted to get all the major characters involved in the storyline, which caused some point of view confusion at times, but still a good brainless read. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0671742647, Mass Market Paperback)

While exploring a group of devastated class-M planets in a remote sector of space, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise ™ is shocked to discover a group of human slaves on a forbidding, glacial world. When the slaves revolt against their human overseers, Captain Picard and his crew sympathize with the slaves plight but cannot interfere in the conflict.

After the revolt is a success, Captain Picard learns that both the slaves and the overseers were controlled by a mysterious bird-like race called the Tseetsk, who are coming to reclaim their property. With the time running out, the rebels kidnap Captain Picard and Counsellor Troi -- drawing the U.S.S. Enterprise into the middle of their deadly plan of vengeance.
