Star Trek: The Next Generation — Takedown<\/strong> by John Jackson Miller, published in 2015<\/p>\n Admiral Riker has been sent to a peace conference that will be attended by several Khitomer Accord powers and several Typhon Pact powers. When he returns he has a mission for Captain Dax and the Aventine — cross the border into Kinshaya space and destroy a station where they’ve developed a devastating computer virus called Takedown. Meanwhile, the Romulan delegate to the conference, Bretorius, commandeers a ship and attacks a Federation outpost — and the Enterprise.<\/p>\n There’s a mystery through most of the book — why is Riker doing what he’s doing, or has he been replaced by a duplicate?<\/p>\n It’s an exciting story that features Picard, Riker, and Dax. Troi, LaForge, and Worf also show up.<\/p>\n Some sections are from the point of view of Bretorius.<\/p>\n The book fits right in with other novels written by authors who have been doing it for years.<\/p>\n
