Publisher's summary

A thrilling adventure based on the hit television series Star Trek: Picard.

Star Trek: No Man’s Land picks up right after the action-packed season one conclusion of Star Trek: Picard. While Raffi and Seven of Nine are enjoying some much-needed R&R in Raffi’s remote hideaway, their downtime is interrupted by an urgent cry for help: a distant, beleaguered planet has enlisted the Fenris Rangers to save an embattled evacuation effort. As Raffi and Seven team up to rescue a mysteriously ageless professor whose infinity-shaped talisman has placed him in the deadly sights of a vicious Romulan warlord, they take tentative steps to explore the attraction depicted in the final moments of Picard season one. Based on the hit audio original, fans can now read this riveting script with fan-favorite characters.

Fills in some of the story….

The evolving relationship of Raffi and Seven is worthy of a novel. This story fills in what happened after season one of Picard. The actresses did a great job on it, the one on one conversations are the best part. The writers placed it against a odd little Fenris adventure, that has another love story within it. I hope the franchise keeps the relationship going. We could use another happy couple in Star Trek besides Riker and Troi.

More Please

I absolutely loved this. Michelle Hurd and Jeri Ryan did an excellent job! More of this please. How about a Raffi and Seven spinoff where the girls go save the galaxy!

Backstory

The relationship between Seven and Raffi in season 2 of Picard kinda came out of nowhere. This fun little radio play fills in that gap.

Great supplementary story for Seven and Raffi.

Solid little audio adventure for sure. This short story helps to provide more context for the dynamic between Seven and Raffi that was somewhat explored more in the second season of Picard. It's not a complete explanation for all that - there is an actual adventure to get through after all. But it's something.

Having Hund and Ryan provide the voices for their TV characters was extra great and their performance helped stress the unique relationship between Seven and Raffi more than any of the actual text could have on their own. There's something, but it's only the beginning of a story - something I hope to see a proper resolution to come in the third and final season of the show.

This was a solid enough story involving another member of the Romulan remnant with dreams of bringing the empire back. In many ways, the story shared a lot of elements with a Doctor Who adventure - or at least that's the vibe I got. It's not a bad thing and it does make for good self-contained storytelling, which worked well with a story of this brevity.

We could use more stories like this - there's always room for more character development in the Star Trek Universe after all.

Quite enjoyable the second, and third time around

When I first listened to this book I bin not like it much.

I decided to rewatch Star Trek Picard, I was not taken by the first season.

Now I have rewatched Picard, I decided to give the book another chance.

The book, although short fits perfectly as a place holder, as a back story to Raffi and Seven’s relationships.

We find out part of how Raffi with all her personal issues, is the bad ass who thinks outside the box, even if no one wants to listen.

The book gives us more background about the trauma Seven has endured and the decisions she made to accept herself more, and in doing so fight for people who are not getting the help they need.

They are two people who meet again, but this time they will work on their future together while kicking some space ass, as a Captain, and XO.

I would love to see a book about their future on their ship exploring space.

Really cool version of an audio book

The acting is just like on the live tv shows. It sparks the imagination to create its own narrative

Must be like the “old” days of radio. Something old is new again. I love it!

It was a truly enjoyable experience

A dynamic duo

These two actresses made a formidable team on this narration. Outstanding special effects and music. I definitely would look forward to more of these adventures.

Best one of the series!

I wish it was longer like the other ones, but love having more insight into Seven and Raffi and their beautiful relationship!

Picard name only to draw in readers

I enjoyed the story. It was good, though not great. Much of it was pretty predictable. Picard’s name was used only to draw in readers. He appears nowhere in the story, except in a few name drops.

This is what I like about Star Trek.

This is what I was hoping season 3 of Star Trek would be. An interconnected universe full of mystery and lore, along with the usual Star Trek elements.
