NO LAW. NO CONSCIENCE. NO STOPPING THEM.
They are the self-appointed protectors of the Federation. Amoral, shrouded in secrecy, answerable to no one, Section 31 is the mysterious covert operations division of Starfleet, a rogue shadow group committed to safeguarding the Federation at any cost.
Six months before their ultimate battle against the Borg for the fate of Earth, Captain Jean-Luc Piccard and the crew of the USS Enterprise™ face a very different kind of crisis. A world in turmoil becomes the focal point of conspiracies and betrayal as an unexpected reunion brings with it startling revelations. Old friends become bitter enemies and one young officer reaches a crossroad when he's forced to choose between the greater good of the Federation and the ideals for which it stands.

I've found that I can count on authors Andy Mangels and Michael A. Martin to deliver outstanding Star Trek tales and this novel is no exception. Picard is reunited with some old friends when the Enterprise is caught in the middle of a civil war. The Romulans are involved, but with friends in Section 31, the Federation's covert operations division, who needs enemies?
Published in paperback by Pocket Books.
I started reading one of the Voyager Relaunch books and was confused by spoilery thing that had apparently happened since the previous relaunch book, so I went looking and found out that there was a multi-series trilogy dealing with spoilery thing. But many people suggested that I should read this other book first, or this other book, etc etc.
And now I have 20 YEARS of Star Trek books to catch up on!
Anyway, this was the first TNG book I've read and I quite enjoyed it. I'm not a huge Section 31 fan, but that part of the storyline didn't really detract from the TNG-ness. Plus, a gay POV character in Star Trek... in 2001!?! I would guess this was a first.
