The crews of Jean-Luc Picard, Benjamin Sisko, Ezri Dax, and William Riker unite to prevent a cosmic-level apocalypse - only to find that some fates really are inevitable.

Starfleet’s finest faces a challenge unlike any other

Tomorrow is doomed.

Time is coming apart. Countless alternate and parallel realities are under attack, weakening and collapsing from relentless onslaught. If left unchecked, the universe faces an unstoppable descent toward entropy.

Wanderer, oracle, ally

Scarred and broken after decades spent tracking this escalating temporal disaster, while battling the nameless enemy responsible for it, an old friend seeks assistance from Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise. The apocalypse may originate from their future, but might the cause lie in their past?

Everything that will be

Identifying their adversary is but the first step toward defeating them, but early triumphs come with dreadful costs. What will the price be to achieve final victory, and how will that success be measured in futures as yet undefined?

Well written, good story but...

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2021

I enjoyed this first book of the trilogy and pre-ordered the other two. Wesley Crusher returns as a Traveler and an old nemesis from a series favorite episode reappears and its not Q. However, the 3 authors have decided to have this trilogy move the TNG book world into a direction that will coincide with and fit into the new canon of the Picard tv series. This was not welcome news for me to read, but explained much of what happened in book 1 I was hoping would be reversed in the other books until I read the author's note. The Picard we have met in the new series is a bitter old man without his wife Beverly Crusher and son, Rene. I'm fearful for the good Doctor and many other characters I have come to know and enjoy in the Trek universe of tv shows and books.
Janeway, Chakotay and most of Voyager seem to have been written out of the franchise in Kirsten
Bayer's last book To Lose The Earth, I have to wonder what's in store for the other characters.
Even with all of the above, this book is a worthwhile read.

Auspicious but very dark start to a new trilogy

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2021

This is a review on this book alone, with no speculation on what I may think is happening on the next two or including the author's afterword. That'll come in the review of the third book and so will comparisons to Destiny.

This is a really well-written book. I mean, well-written is something we come to expect from the Star Trek book series, with good authors and editors, but this is a step above. Dayton Ward has managed to create a compelling book that kept me gripped throughout, as the multiple crises unfolded in logical fashion inside The Big Crisis. I will leave my speculation as to what this is building up to myself for the moment.

As the first part of a trilogy, many questions necessarily are left unanswered. This book is here to set up the story and the antagonists, and it did a good job at that. The antagonists weren't immediately revealed by their own points of view as in many books, but instead by detective work by Our Heroes, including a very humane Wesley Crusher in his Traveler form. The Enterprise, the Titan and the Aventine are all together in this (we're missing Voyager,, but who knows what's coming in the rest of the trilogy?)

Even the "Countdown to Shield Failure" trope that usually puts me off is well-written. If you pay attention to details, you'll notice that it's different every time. In fact, it made me think that antagonists fighting Starfleet would feel like fighting the Borg: no strategy works more than twice or three times, until Starfleet adapts.

The mounting casualty list is both compelling and depressing. If you like some of the characters, you'll feel down. I remember when they killed off Jasminder Choudhury in Cold Equations and felt it was unnecessary. This book doesn't make the deaths feel unnecessary, because the authors are clearly building up to something, but the real gut reaction can't be avoided. _This is a dark book_

I had originally pre-ordered only this book and not the next two, wondering if I would want to read the next ones. I most certainly will now.

Oh no, they killed [blank]! Expect to say this a lot.

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2021

STAR TREK: CODA: MOMENTS ASUNDER is a big epic disaster movie of a storyline. It reminds me most of STAR TREK: DESTINY but is even more focused on everything utterly going to Hell. The former was a war movie but this is much more an indescribable event that is beyond our heroes to deal with. Well, not quite, it is more like CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS with the old continuity of the Star Trek universe being sent to its final resting place in likelihood of a reboot that will feature a timeline closer to the Nu Trek on Paramount Plus.

Whether you think this is necessary or not will probably impact your love of the book or not. As far as I was concerned, the finale of STAR TREK: THE FALL pretty much wrapped up the Litverse as much as you needed to be. You can just move on to a new continuity after a happy ending like the kind we managed to get. I'm reminded of the famous quotation, "A happy ending depends on where you stop the story" by Orson Welles (allegedly). When the old STAR WARS Expanded Universe ended, I always felt it had gone a little too long as we knew that Luke/Han/Leia's sacrifices would end up with the dystopian LEGACY comics.

Was it necessary to blow up the universe (if that's what they're doing)? No. Is it a good story so far? Yes, but those who have an attachment to the characters of the Litverse may feel numerous gut punches and kicks before this is over. It's closing time and the Dayton Ward clearly thinks that this means a fire sale. While the "canon" characters of the Star Trek universe will undoubtedly be in the rebooted timeline just fine (except for the ones killed off nin Picard), the ones who are purely of the novelverse are not going to be so lucky I fear. Really, the only one we know will be "safe" is Christine Vale and that's because she shows up in DARK VEIL.I will be honest, one of the deaths in this book REALLY hit me hard.

The Monitor of this particular Crisis on Infinite Treks is, of all people, Wesley Crusher and it's a shame Will Wheaton has stated he's done with the character. I think he would be a very well loved character if he showed up as his Traveler form. Seeing him desperately trying to save his kid brother (who won't exist in the Picard-verse), his mother, his stepfather, and the Enterprise is a surprisingly moving story. The enemies they face are perhaps a little hard to believe (I think the Sphere Builders would have been a better choice) but I'm glad they mined Trek lore for these guys rather than inventing someone new.

This is a harsh and ruthless book but one that I'm glad to have ordered every copy of. The Trekverse has lasted decades of fun but now it's time to bring it an end. Let us at least meet it like Klingons, head on.

Awesome beginning of the end!

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2021

I began this book with trepidation because it was the beginning of the end of this era of Trek books. What a wild ride! It moves fast with lots of twists and turns. You think you know where it's going but you really don't. It's well written with lots of love for the characters and the series. You don't need to read all the previous books in the series, everything you need is in the book. The author cares and it shows.

Demolition of 15 years of work.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

This novel is a straight up demolition of 15 years of work. It is not a swansong, a memorial or a monument. It is an overly long, drawn out execution without character development, hope or joy, in preparation for the transition to the equally joyless Picard timeline.

There is essentially no character development, other than "haha they died".
Pacing is awfully slow. While a somewhat slow pace is expected in the first part of a trilogy, this book is just bloatedly slow, to the point where everything done in the first 1/3 of this book could have been done in a chapter.

RIP this continuity. RIP all the excellent characters.
It's a rough, rough book.

20 years of reboot novels down the drain

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

Thanks to Star Trek: Picard, the novelverse is being set aside. 20 years of books rendered non-canon. This is the 1st in a trilogy that will reset the novelverse to align with the new canon of Star Trek: Picard. It is so boring. It is nothing but technoabble, nonevents, random deaths and obsessive focus on author pets like T'Tryssa and Rene. With books like this the novelverse is no great loss and I never thought I'd think that.

If you are expecting a barn stormer adventure along the lines of Star Trek Destiny you are in the wrong book…

This isn’t bad, but it isn’t good either. I was not gripped by the story with its over reliance on a character that was never that interesting to me in the first place. The narrative felt bloated and this part of the story could have been told in half the length it took.

I will keep my fingers crossed that the next part is an improvement…

The book I don't want to read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

The thing is... I'm starting this trilogy of books already knowing where it's going. It's an act of voluntary destruction of years of phenomenal work by these amazing writers. Their contribution to the Star Trek universe has been richer and more deserving of being committed to official canon than the vast majority of the wanton vandalism of Star Trek lore that has been committed to screen over the last few years.

I'm finishing the book with morbid curiosity for the next two books... But I hate that they exist.

Good story but poor printing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 16, 2022

This book is printed on very low quality paper which is far from pure white. The print is small, not pure black, so overall it is not an easy book to read - which is a pity as the story is quite good :)
