This was an excellent book and a must read for anyone who watched the first season of "Picard" the TV series on Netflix. You may ask why - and I will explain.... The TV series started off with Picard retired and living on his family's vineyard in France. But it never goes into the reasons for his retirement. In fact he doesn't seem to be happy as a retired Admiral.
This book by Una McCormack starts with Jean Luc Picard on a boring day relaxing on the vineyard thinking back to how on earth he ended up in this boring situation. Therefore it begins before the TV series events and goes back to the events prior to his retirement. You learn much more about the situation with the Romulans and the work at the Daystrom Institute.
If you have not seen the TV series, it doesn't matter, this is a stand alone and has NO SPOILERS about the TV show. In fact, I almost wish I had not seen the TV series before reading this book!
I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys SCI FI and knows anything about the world of Star Trek.
