This was a refreshingly new take on the "generation ship" trope, which also adds in "ambimorphs" who appear to be an early version of the Founders that appear in DS9 (though less villainous). It features a notable Romulan antagonist whose characterization goes beyond the usual BS, and unusually clever strategic hijinks. A good read.
The author is not actually much of a fan of the show. His story about the Romulans' mission, and what they discover, is cool enough. But the characters and background are sketchy and don't fit the rest of the canon very well in my evaluation. Maybe it would have been more successful as a stand-alone novel, not part of ST. And Data was certainly under-utilized. Oh well. On to the next!
