A thrilling untold adventure based on the acclaimed Star Trek: Picard TV series!
The Alpha Quadrant is mired in crisis.
Within the United Federation of Planets, a terrorist strike on the shipyards of Mars has led to the shutdown of all relief efforts for millions of Romulans facing certain doom from an impending supernova. But when the USS Titan is drawn into a catastrophic incident on the Romulan-Federation border, Captain William Riker, his family, and his crew find themselves caught between the shocking secrets of an enigmatic alien species and the deadly agenda of a ruthless Tal Shiar operative. Forced into a wary alliance with a Romulan starship commander, Riker and the Titan crew must uncover the truth to stop a devastating attack—but one wrong move could plunge the entire sector into open conflict!

Anyone started it yet? How different is it to the Titan series? I’ll get to it one day but Picard left such a bad taste in my mouth. I can’t help but feel this will be a depressing read.
These books are also a pain for bookcase placement. I think I’ll put with the JJVerse novels in the alternate timeline section.

In my head, something happened between Nemesis and Death in Winter that caused the timeline to split.
 
Jinn, could you rehost that image somewhere else? The Wiki pages don't like embedding from them, causes the image to show up as a grey square for other people (unless they've already seen the image on the wiki itself and it's in their browser cache)
 
Is there something about what happened with the Remans and the other romulan subject species during the evacuation in the novel?
 
They still think the nova is a few years out, not the next year like we know. More evidence, other than Spock's line ST09, that it was a surprise.

Does that mean the other endangered species living under romulan rule weren't evacuated?
I have trouble imagining starfleet approving to ignore their eventual demise.

And do we learn more about who they are?
