Losing the Peace by William Leisner
4.0
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.
