Riker Goes To The Dark Side?


Star Trek: The Next Generation: Takedown will be released today by Simon & Schuster/Pocket Books. An original TNG adventure, Takedown is written by John Jackson Miller, whose credits include numerous Star Wars books and comics, as well as his own sci-fi tale, Overdraft: The Orion Offensive. Here's the synospsis of Takedown, direct from the publisher:

When renegade Federation starships begin wreaking destruction across the Alpha Quadrant, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are shocked to discover that the mastermind behind this sudden threat is none other than Picard’s protégé and friend: Admiral William T. Riker. The newly minted admiral is on board the U.S.S. Aventine as part of a special assignment, even as the mystery deepens behind his involvement in the growing crisis. But the Aventine is helmed by Captain Ezri Dax—someone who is no stranger to breaking Starfleet regulations—and her starship is by far the faster vessel…and Riker cannot yield even to his former mentor. It’s a battle of tactical geniuses and a race against time as Picard struggles to find answers before the quadrant’s great powers violently retaliate against the Federation…

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Takedown runs 386 pages and is available as both a mass market paperback ($7.99) and eBook ($6.99). Visit Amazon.com to purchase.
