The Edge of Midnight Book One: The Business of Risk (2256-2261)
"RESOURCES ALWAYS ATTRACT EMPIRES." This bold line is what tosses the reader in the fray of the Federation and Klingon Empire's long cold war, and opens the first chapter of Seamus Devenish's magnum opus: The Edge of Midnight Book One: THE BUSINESS OF RISK.
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 UFP and Klingon Empire would find their assumptions and worldviews challenged as a new order attempted to emerge from the old. PRAISE FOR THE BUSINESS OF RISK:
"Recounting powerful first-hand accounts against sector-wide backdrops of the Federation-Klingon Cold War, EDGE OF MIDNIGHT's first book masterfully - and ominously - sets a quadrant-wide stage for the greatest, most terrible game of war overseen in the 23rd century" - Amadeous O'Reilly, Starfleet Xenoanthropology Archives "The concise source at last...Devenish makes a chaotic time seem clear and orderly." - A.R. Vale, New York Times "The last word on the Klingon Cold War...Devenish has his opus" - Thomas Moody II, Starfleet Historical Review |
