Does anybody else think those smaller ships bare an odd resemblance to the 22nd century Romulan drone ships?
Thats good! There seems to be to little "explore and wonder" in favor of "dark, poltitcal, gritty" stuff going on. I mean I like a good political thriller, I even read all the Honor Harrington books in one go ( only wanted to slit my wrists on book 4.. ugh..) but Star Trek is about hope and adventure and exploration. 
I'm catching up, just finished Kristen's Full Circle saga, Hope she has time these days to write the next one!
Catching up on Chris's DTI books, love those characters! On The Collectors, would love to see that one on screen!
Keep it up guys and girls! Your work is much appreciated!

STO is completely separate from the books, so what it does is no indication of what direction the books will take.
At this point I'd rather they not get them back together, I think it's been nearly a decade since they broke up and I'd hate to see them backtrack on their development like that.
Fanwank? What sort of word is that?
Didn't realize so many people were against their relationship. I was rather bummed when they broke them up. Never got why those evil authors did that.
Anyway, those ships do look somewhat like Drone ships. Maybe that's a clue as to who is harassing them.
That'll make the fourth time that model has been used to represent a different alien ship.
No need for name calling.
The species who owned the Chaotic Space shipwreck in Voyager The Fight?
It how the design looks from that angle. There were a couple shots like that in Insurrection and Nemeais.
The render I use as my icon is as similar angle. Though, my icon is the actual Nemesis CG model made by Digital Domain. The one the used for the books (and the Eaglemoss models) was never featured on the big screen. In fact, the people that made it (Digital Muse) lost the bid for Insurrection to Santa Barbara Studios.
The Digital Muse model is kinda wrong in a lot of little ways (SBS and DD both had the 10' First Contact miniature shipped to their offices for reference, DM did not), but it gets the overall proportions right.
Are we sure? I am positive it was dealt with after the Section 31 files were released to the public.
That depends on how you define "dealt with." There was a conversation between Picard and a superior, but that would hardly be the end of the public fallout.
Control ends with the extent of S31's activities being made public. Hearts and Minds plays into that a bit at the end, with Akaar lowering a boom of sorts on Picard.
Available Light begins with the immediate aftermath of the reveal still coming to...uh, well...light, and proceeds from there.

Then comes KAOS!

Kind of disappointing that they revealed that some of the unsympathetic Starfleet officers we saw in TNG and DS9 were secretly Section 31. That seems a little too pat and easy, IMO. It'd be more startling if they revealed some of the more likable people were mixed up in it, the way that STVI had Admiral Cartwright be a part of the conspiracy to assassinate Chancellor Gorkon.
Ross was one of the more likable Admirals. Hell, even with his involvement with Section 31 he's still one of the few Starfleet Admirals in the entire franchise with a somewhat pleasant disposition.
My main online retailer has just emailed me to advise that this book has been released by the publisher and is on its way to their warehouse.
And he wasn't batshit crazy or incompetent. Of course, I'm biased--Ross is my favorite admiral in the entire franchise, followed second by Nechayev.
