This book takes place starts out tracing three different plotlines: In the 2260s, Zefram Cochrane is pursued by a madman who believes he can force Cochrane to build a warp bomb. In the 2360s, a passenger liner goes missing in the Gamma Canaris region, and an irate admiral wants to know why Kirk is receiving messages from a dead woman. In the 2460s, a Ferengi DaiMon on a Romulan ship wants to sell a Borg artifact to the Federation. These plotlines slowly intertwine until all three meet, however briefly.<P>IMHO, this book does a lot more justice to Cochrane than did <i>First Contact</i>. If you're willing to set aside canon for a moment, <i>Federation</i> is a thoroughly enjoyable read. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Dan</b> <br /><small>Member # 129</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,11,29,5,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">December 29, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:20 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I'd recommend Star Trek: Spectre (which is in paperback).
