Star Trek: TNG — Headlong Flight<\/strong> by Dayton Ward, published in 2017<\/p>\n Captain Picard aboard the Enterprise E discovers a mysterious planet inside a nebula. With an away team on the surface, the planet disappears. In another dimension, Captain Riker aboard the Enterprise D discovers a mysterious planet inside a nebula. In yet another dimension, Commander Sarith aboard the Bloodied Talon discovers a mysterious planet inside a nebula.<\/p>\n The alternate history aspect is fascinating — what if Picard had died as a Borg? There’s a beautiful scene of reunion between people who haven’t seen (other versions of) each other in a while.<\/p>\n There’s a bunch of technobabble, but other than that the conversations between crewmembers are delightful. I enjoyed it a lot.<\/p>\n The previous novel in the story of the 24th century is Star Trek: Prey \u2014 The Hall of Heroes<\/strong><\/a>. I also previously reviewed Ward (and Kevin Dilmore)’s novel Star Trek: Legacies \u2014 Purgatory\u2019s Key<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “Before them was yet another plane of existence, separate from their own.
