Upon learning the devices true function, its objective to annihilate all organic life in the galaxy, Picard comes to the conclusion that only one man may be able to cease this onslaught and prevent a colossal cataclysm… Data.

 

Being the last book in a trilogy, I felt this book lacked where the last two did not. As a reader I felt invested in the plots and characters of the last two novels. I felt disconnected to the characters and the amounts of time it took to find solutions to the dilemmas they faced. Out of all three books in this trilogy I feel this book was the weakest.
