Great Work
I'm never disappointed with these ladies work.

In the Beginning...
Before the Romulans became who they are they were Vulcans living on a war torn and diseased Vulcan.

This book is great and the whole series is really good. You'll not be disappointed at all.

Further, the authors make use of the very common but no less unacceptable device of writing a story in multiple installments none of which constitute an even marginally complete story... more info
