Book follows the very first book very well. The entire trilogy provides a great back story for the Sundering that brought about the Romulan Empire.

Life in space is rough for the Vulcans, loss of life, conflicts, and of course when you're all bunch up together in ships after other ships are detroyed infections can spread and dwindle the numbers of the Vulcans. The Vulcans show that they are a hardy people, they try and update their technologies while they look for suitable worlds on which to live. What's also good about this book and the others of this series is that there is the modern situation which is somehow connected with the Romulan's past and the flashbacks which paint the birth of the Romulan race.

Two stories, actually, with only the most tenuous of connections: one set in the distant past, the story of the exiles from Vulcan who became the Romulans, their long, arduous, and near-fatal trip and the planetfall on their new world, and one set in the "modern" period of Star Trek, sometime, as near as I can tell, between the third and fourth Next generation movies given that Data is present with an emotion chip.
The characters are handled well, the writing is smooth, the timing is good, and the plot is reasonably interesting. Definitely worth reading.
Of course, it loses a star for having no beginning and no ending, but simply being the middle book of a trilogy. If that doesn't bother you like it does me, feel free to consider this a four-star review.

I listened to the audio book. This was two stories. The modern story was kind of a waste of time. But I liked the 'Memory' time line. I thought it was a slow moving story while I was listening to it. I was a bit frustrated. But When it was over I thought about it a bit and I realized that this book moved me. I recognized at least one connection to the original Star Trek series and this book made me view that episode in a new more sinister light. There was another random planetary encounter that really upset me. By the end I was very angry at some of the characters and I realized that means it was a good story. I actually cared about what happened. Even though we know how it will end in a big picture sense, the details are a welcome bit of texture. I really enjoyed it which surprised this action fan. I can't wait for the subsequent book.

Sherman is an excellent writer. It is too bad that she tried to fit the last movie into the ST Universe - we all know the movie was an abomination and the director should be taken out and shot - but she is actually successful at explaining all of the details. If only she had read the rest of the series before writing these books! While the trilogy is engrossing, and well worth reading, you will probably find yourself annoyed at the sharp differences between this work and all the rest of the histories and stories of Star Trek.
It might be best for the reader to believe that all of the action takes place in an alternate universe, that way the inaccuracies can be overlooked. She does have the political and social messages for which ST is famous, and she is dead on accurate with these.
While her characters and story are not as deeply insighful as Diane Duane's, they are certainly deeper and more detailed than most. Her works are highly recommended. Now, if only she would read the rest of the books in the ST series, she could inherit position of favored story-teller in the ST universe.
