I agree; I enjoyed the book but feel that the way the incident occured in it was a bit of a sell-out. IMO the writer went a bit too far in the 'ivulnerable Federation' direction. I agree with Harry that it would've made more sense to have the incident involve a cloaked Federation vessel on the wrong side of the border.
I agree about the book's ending...although I think it had a very TOS feel to it. The books worth reading for the depictions of Harriman and Demora Sulu alone...and the transwarp tech described in the USS Universe was great as well.
Really, the book would have been perfect if the Fed really did suffer all those casualties despite Harriman's plan.
