Audiobook. This takes place before the events in Season One of the new Picard TV series. Picard is prised away from the Enterprise and made into an Admiral in order to take charge of helping the Romulans to evacuate people from worlds within the blast range of the Romulan sun, which is soon going super-nova. This chronicles the trials and tribulations of Picard, on the star ship Verity, as he gathers around him new crewmembers including Raffi Musiker, his new Number One. (This is as much her story as Picard's) Star Fleet is throwing everything at the Romulan evacuation effort, though the Romulans themselves are still very wary of the hand of friendship being held out by their old (untrusted) enemy. The task in hand is made doubly difficult by Federation politicians and the Tal Shiar, the Romulan secret service. It looks as though there are four books in this sequence that lead into the TV series, but the second features Riker, and the third (not published until June 2022) features Rios (whom we meet in the TV series). The fourth book isn't listed yet. I'm not sure about the rest of the series, but Una McCormac's The Last Best Hope captures Picard beautifully and the narration by Robert Petkoff works well. He captures Picard's inflections well. Recommended.Audiobook. This takes place before the events in Season One of the new Picard TV series.
