Day of the Vipers - Star Trek: Terok Nor

Zusatztext "I have found that good novels have a color one can associate with the tone of the story! and in the case of this book that color is Cardassian grey.... Good and evil are not cleanly divided between people in the book. Some of the Cardassians are good! and some of the Bajorans are bad! in other words." -- The-Trades.com Informationen zum Autor James Swallow is a New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author and BAFTA-nominated screenwriter! the only British writer to have worked on a Star Trek TV series.

Now that fifty-year tale of warring ideologies! terrorism! greed! secret intelligence! moral compromises! and embattled faiths is at last given its due in the three-book saga of Star Trek's Lost Era... A seemingly benign visitation to the bountiful world of Bajor from the resource-poor Cardassian Union is viewed with cautious optimism by some! trepidation by others! and a calculating gleam by unscrupulous opportunists.

Seen through the eyes of participants on both sides -- including those of a young officer named Skrain Dukat -- the personal! political! and religious tensions between the Bajorans and the Cardassians quickly spiral out of control! irrevocably shaping the futures of both worlds in an emotionally charged and unforgettable tale of treachery! tragedy! and hope. ...
