Description
To the Cardassians, it is a point of pride. To the Klingons, a matter of honour. But the 18 year war between these two empires creates a vortex of politics, diplomacy and counterintelligence that will define an age, and shape the future.Tags

In spite of the long title, I enjoyed this novel by Keith R. A. DeCandido. Falling loosely under the mantel of the Deep Space Nine relaunch, we meet several familiar characters from the DS9 and TNG sagas, along with Worf’s parents, assorted Klingons, Cardassians, and Romulans. The Lost Era mini-series offers a unique perspective on Trek history. Take a look at it.
