Please, let's wait until reading at least two chapters before praising the novel as a whole.
Actually, I believe ASD and the post-Borg War segments of Full Circle happen more or less simultaneously. (Though I did read an early draft of FC, so I missed any reference to the Typhon Pact Kirsten might have slipped in later.) And OaTS does also cover the months immediately after the invasion, though a lot more quickly.

Well, you're not the first to pick that nit. But, the combadge has been added to the most recent cover, so no, not significant.
Sorry, just gonna have to wait for Chapter Two for that answer.
. I'm still holding out hope that the USS Hera is located at some point, even if it's just the wreck, so Geordi can get some closure after 11 years...
It's also pretty cool that Geordi's dad is still serving in Starfleet, and survived the Borg invasion to boot
Credit where due: Geordi's personnel file in "The Next Phase" established that he was born in the African Confederation, regardless of his American accent. And I agree, the "third world" has been too much ignored in Trek, and I thought, if I was going to have this scene in Africa, it should show that all of Earth shared equally in the advances of the 24th century.So it was really cool to see a sequence set in Somalia, in a Mogadishu that's prosperous and at peace -- and to discover that one of our major characters, LaForge, in spite of having an American accent, is apparently himself a Somalian!
