BOOK ONE: THE BUSINESS OF RISK

The Edge of Midnight Book One: The Business of Risk covers the opening moves of the cold war, detailing the political and social state of the Federation and Empire in the aftermath of the 2256-57 war before covering the crises that would set the stage for the next 30 years of confrontation.

From the Suliban Crisis to the First Battle of Caleb IV, from the fall of Erica Barreuco to the brutality of the Raktajino Revolution, the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire would find their assumptions and worldviews challenged as a new order attempted to emerge from the old.
