Star Trek: Picard: Second Self

The thrilling adventure based on the acclaimed TV series Star Trek: Picard!

Following the explosive events seen in season one of Star Trek: Picard, Raffi Musiker finds herself torn between returning to her old life as a Starfleet Intelligence officer or something a little more tame—teaching at the Academy, perhaps. The decision is made for her though when a message from an old contact—a Romulan spy—is received, asking for immediate aid. With the help of Elnor and assistance from Jean-Luc Picard, Raffi decides to take on this critical mission—and quickly learns that past sins never stay buried. Finding the truth will be complicated, and deadly…

Did they even watch DS9

They did Garak no justice at all, I will say other than that this was a good one. The story development of Rafi was great and always good to see Cristobal but wish he was in it a little more. Just completely sick on how the portrayed Garak’s character, mainly on how he talks and acts. The only thing they got right was his evil sadistic streak. I don’t ever write these but had to say something because I’m a huge fan of DS9.

Well worth it

I enjoyed this very much. I originally bought it for more on Raffi, and a moderate interest in Garak. Though at times his back story dragged a little, ultimately it was well worth sticking with that part in order to appreciate the resolution to his arc. I'll probably be thinking about him for a long time.

Raffi's story continues to intrigue me. I'm slightly confused how this fits (re time frame) with No Man's Land, which I thought was also between season 1 & 2 of Picard. No matter. Still good, still so glad I bought it.

The reader does an excellent job with every character except Picard. it's understandable, given Stewart's distinctive voice and delivery. It does not take away from the enjoyment of the book.

A Good Story with a few Surprises

I enjoyed one learning more about my favorite DS9 character. The story expands the events after the Dominion War and what happened to other worlds after the war. It's a good read, kept my attention and hope to see more in the future.

It’s Una! What else can you ask for!

I have nothing but good things to say about this book! Una you are the most beautiful writer! The way you bring so much into the ending after such a complex story into a lovely ending. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity to this world. I never saw the twists and turns! So much world building and character development I’m sad Picard books aren’t coming out anymore. This was the last one. I read firewall first. This set of books left me wanting more. Thank you!
