An interesting book that looks at the aftermath of the Borg attack that seriously damaged the Federation. I like that the books are now interconnected. I like that there's now the expanded universe of Star Trek. I appreciate that they didn't just brush off all the devastation and dead Federation members. In all I'll have to just say I liked it, but I have a lot of catching up to do. several books till I get to the Typhon Pact.

This one is actually pretty good, much better than the Voyager dreck that Pocket Books has been printing. It's a decent story with some believable characters reacting to the Federation's refugee crises post-Destiny. It's not without its problems though. As others have pointed out, the reliable stoics are all smiles and while I expect a certain amount of emotion (especially in a setting like this), this story was awash with it. Also this book continues peddling what I consider to be questionable Federation history in regards to Alpha Centauri, but I don't think I'm going to ultimately win that one.

Not too bad
I think this book was meant to be a bridge book and in that regard it was good.not a lot of action or intrigue but nice story non the less.

Although not a lot happens, by Star Trek standards, I enjoyed this episode. It seems to have a bit to say about current events such as Syrian refugees, and is more down beat but it is well written & thought provoking, and does end with some usual Star Trek optimism along side the political worries.

This took me only about a day to get through....partly because each recent Trek book has left fans wanting more because of the staggering events they've recently introduced, but also due to its great character development. It's great to see some of the new crew members begin to find a niche, and equally nice to see characters Trek fans are intimately familiar with continue to develop.

Losing the Peace is one of two sequels to the Destiny Trilogy.
In some ways this book reminds me of the The Next Generation Episode 'Family' which told the story of Captain Picard's recovery from his experience with the Borg. Losing the Peace is about the recovery of an entire Quadrant of space. There are no space battles or new Frontiers. It is a bridge story recounting how the Federation deals with the destruction of whole worlds and an untenable refugee situation. I'm glad someone somewhere decided this part of the story should be included in the upcoming literary arc.
Everyone has either lost someone or their home or both. Thousands of Starfleet Officers were lost. People are crowded on to refugee planets and their hosts are begging for help. Violence and disease break out. Things look bleak.
Doctor Crusher gets some backstory and Captain Picard gets to indulge in some 'cowboy' diplomacy and disobeys orders for the greater good.
Its a well written book and probably should be read in tandem with the Book 'A Singular Destiny' which tells the story of the political fallout of the invasion.
