Brinkmanship by Una McCormack

Not a lengthy review or anything, but I'll say this: I need to see the Federation turning back into the shining example it used to be, and soon. Don't get me wrong, it's compelling to read the Federation coming back from a place of near desperation - but I'm ready for that trip to be underway. I'm really getting frustrated with the darker trek this has become. Yes, there were moments in the shows that were dark, but the overall tone was more triumphant than this Typhon Pact plot.
