Product Description:
On the cusp of their epic battle with Shinzon, many of Captain Jean-Luc Picard's long-time crew were heading for new assignments and new challenges. Among the changes were William Riker's promotion to captain and his new command, Riker's marriage to Counselor Deanna Troi, and Dr. Beverly Crusher's new career at Starfleet Medical. But the story of what set them on a path away from the Starship Enterprise™ has never been told.
UNTIL NOW.
Still reeling from the disastrous events that have rocked all of Starfleet and tarnished the career of one of the Federation's most decorated captains, Picard and his crew must now endure the unthinkable: scandal, ostracism, and an uncertain future. But despite all that has occurred, none aboard the Enterprise have forgotten their duty as Starfleet officers....
Assigned to assist the imperiled Dokaalan -- a small colony of refugees who maintain a precarious existence in a rapidly disintegrating asteroid mining complex -- the Enterprise crew must somehow aid this alien race in terraforming a nearby planet so that it might someday provide a new home for their kind. But violent acts of sabotage soon turn a humanitarian crisis into a deadly confrontation. To save the Dokaalan from extinction, Picard must uncover the presence of an old adversary -- and prevent a disaster of catastrophic proportions!

I'm not a science fiction fan. The only reason I know about Star Trek is probably for the same reason the majority of Americans of my generation know about it - the TV show "The Next Generation" has been on for so long that it has become a cultural icon. Combine this with Patrick Stewarts' notoriety and Levar Burtons' recognition as 'That "Reading Rainbow" host', and you have a semi-recognizable set of characters.
I was surprised to pick up this book and get into it. To be honest, I ... Read More

This book is a book were you can't get into it. It is like you are reading a law book. The plot seems like it would be good, but it is not! It has a good story but it is very repeatitive. The only reason why to buy this book is that you need it to complete the saga.

A Time to Harvest, the sequel to A Time to Sow, has most of the same strengths and weaknesses that the first one had. Dayton Ward and Kevin Dilmore do give us a rousing conclusion to the story, but they wallow even more in continuity and explanations, dragging the narrative to a halt way too often. Add a bit of angst (but not as much as the first book), and you've got a slow-moving plodder that can get quite interesting at times.
The Enterprise, having discovered survivors of the planet ... Read More

"Harvest" is a fantastic conclusion to this two part story. It is full of the kind of excitment that those of us who love Trek expect. This novel takes off at breakneck speed and does a wonderful job at tying a TV episode to itself as well. It gives a great plot and offers yet another look at the "Next Generation" crew in the kind of fantastic action that fans have come to love. I highly recommend this novel along with its predecessor "A Time To Sow."

As with the first book, the authors spend the first quarter of the book filling us in on recent Trek history, both the events of the previous books, the Dominion War, and activities at Starfleet. It could probably have been done in half the pages and combined with more interesting content. After that the book becomes much better. The characterisations are good and the action scenes are well done. The pacing of the story is generally effective. There is still a fair amount of historical material, but most ... Read More
