One question that has always been on my mind: Rise of the Federation: A Choice of Futures does a superb job of fleshing out those early days of the Federation. Published under the Star Trek: Because of the time frame, the characters of Enterprise are major players in that arena, and thus are showcased in this novel. I have to admit to a certain amount of giddy, fanboy excitement when I first heard that Christopher L.

Bennett would be taking the reins of the Enterprise book series, an excitement that was magnified when I learned that this book would showcase the early years of the Federation.

This latest endeavour by Mr. Bennett continues the tradition perfectly. A Choice of Futures. With the birth of the Federation coming so soon after the end of the Romulan War, a period in which many Alpha Quadrant powers were threatened with war and destruction, how did the Federation manage to follow the path of peace upon which it seems to founded? Might it not have instead become another belligerent empire, imposing its will on its neighbours through unchecked territorial expansion? The struggle between these two ideologies is at the heart of A Choice of Futures. However, their alien nature makes it nearly impossible to form any sort of connection.

Communication seems completely out of the question. Rather than being the aggressive and violent people many assumed them to be, we learn that they in fact believe violence and killing of other sentient species to be morally reprehensible. Pioneer under the command of Captain Malcolm Reed finds itself imperiled, and the crew learns how to extricate themselves from the situation through discovery and cooperation with a previously unknown species.

The parents in the square, quicker to understand what was happening, began to panic before the children did. A few managed to stay calm, tried to rally the others to gather up the children and flee to safety.

But then a plasma bolt tore through the metal sculpture at the center of the square, sending out shrapnel that felled many of the parents and children nearby. The shock wave left him looking up at the sky from ground level as bodies fell around him. The ships flew overhead, and he recognized them: He watched helplessly as one of the larger, more elongated ships set down in the square and opened to disgorge the raiders, who began methodically shooting down the surviving parents, seizing the screaming, crying children and dragging them back to the ship.

He knew those faces too: The faces of Suliban. One of the raiders reached him, loomed above him, a rifle barrel pointed at his head. He studied that mottled face closely, unafraid of the weapon, knowing he could do nothing to affect what he saw. He could only watch as the raider crouched, a hand reaching forward to fill his field of view.

His hands shook slightly as he lowered it, and he made an effort to still them, feeling a twinge of frustration. Doctor Phlox had assured him the latest round of treatments would hold off the tremors for months. Anyone would have been shaken after watching the attack from the vantage point of one of its victims. Archer gathered himself and turned his gaze to the portly, dark-featured Tandaran who had spoken.

Valk wore the quilted gray tunic of the Tandaran military, his twin black sashes declaring him an officer and the golden rank pins on the sides of his brown leather collar marking him as a general.

They both knew the history perfectly well. It had been over eight years since the factions in the Temporal Cold War had ended their intrusions into the twenty-second century, leaving the Cabal with no instructions from the future to guide them or genetic enhancements to motivate them. But the Suliban had still faced fear and bigotry from many in the Tandar Sector, and while some had chosen to reclaim their homes there and try to rebuild their lives and relationships, many had chosen to resume their nomadic ways or relocate to other worlds, including some within the territory of the United Federation of Planets—the fledgling union of United Earth, the Confederacy of Vulcan, the Andorian Empire, the United Planets of Tellar, and the Alpha Centauri Concordium.

Jonathan Archer, who had played a significant role in bringing that union about, had used his clout to persuade the Federation Council to grant the refugees asylum as one of its first acts. An original novel set in the universe of Star Trek: A new nation has arisen from the ashes of the Romulan War: Admiral Jonathan Archer—the former captain of the Earth starship Enterprise , whose efforts made this union possible—envisions a vibrant Federation promoting galactic peace and a multispecies Starfleet dedicated to exploring strange new worlds.

Endeavour and Captain Malcolm Reed of the U. Pioneer , work with him to secure that bright future. Yet others within the Federation see its purpose as chiefly military, a united defense against a dangerous galaxy, while some of its neighbors view that military might with suspicion and fear. And getting the member nations, their space fleets, and even their technologies to work together as a unified whole is an ongoing challenge. But Archer fears the conflict is building toward an unnecessary war, potentially taking the young nation down a path it was never meant to follow.
