Summary
- From the book jacket
- Treva – a Human colony on the fringes of known space. Isolated from the rest of the galaxy, at last report they were on the verge of becoming a true interstellar community – a full-fledged member of the Federation. But now the USS Enterprise-D has received a distress signal. Treva is in the throes of a violent revolution, a revolution led by a merciless warlord who has committed countless atrocities in the name of freedom.
- Data and Natasha Yar are dispatched to investigate. But once they reach Treva, they discover the truth – and any possible solution – may be more complex than a simple rebellion. For Treva's president wants more than Starfleet's good words in her fight against the rebels.
- She wants their weapons. And before the battle is over, she means to get them. Over Data and Yar's dead bodies, if necessary.
