The Last Best Hope by Una McCormack
5.0
My gosh, what a good read. (I *know* it's fiction, but...)The arrogance so prevalent within both the Romulan Empire and the Federation were enough to make me scream. It's Chernobyl all over again. The Russia--I mean, Romulans weren't ever going to admit something catastrophic was occuring until it absolutely required them to do so. Until the Federation recalculated some figures and realized the RE either got it wrong or falsified information.
Like, did the Romulan Empire completely forget what happened to Qo'noS when Praxis exploded??
Or...did the RE get exactly what they want? It's hinted at so teasingly that the Romulans may have deliberately caused their sun to go supernova. It'll be interesting to see how this story plays out in STAR TREK: PICARD.
This was such a fun read. As someone that has already seen the first half of the new series, this book deeply enhances the story. And, it adds so much delicious context. It isn't necessary to read this before watching the series, but I highly recommend it.
