Wann erscheint ein neues buch zur star trek: tng - typhon pact reihe.

Fortsetzung der Star Trek: TNG - Typhon Pact Reihe von David Mack

Fortsetzungen der Reihenfolge kamen sechs Jahre lang durchschnittlich alle 10,8 Monate heraus. In 2017 hätte somit der hypothetische Erscheinungstermin des neunten Teils liegen müssen. Das war nicht der Fall. Außerdem liegt der berechnete Veröffentlichungstermin inzwischen sieben Jahre in der Vergangenheit. Selbst die längste Wartezeit von vier Jahren hat sich nicht mehr ergeben.

Unser Faktencheck klärt, ob eine Fortsetzung der Star Trek: TNG - Typhon Pact Bücher mit einem 9. Teil wahrscheinlich ist:

• Eine der gängigsten Herangehensweisen, um eine Reihenfolge zu entwerfen, ist bestimmt die Trilogie. In der Buchreihe wurden bereits acht und damit mehr als drei Bände herausgegeben.
• Der durchschnittliche Zyklus an Fortsetzungen liegt in dieser Reihe bei 10,8 Monaten. Demnach hätte ein neuer Teil 2017 veröffentlicht werden müssen, wenn der Takt gleich geblieben wäre.
• Die bisher größte Unterbrechung zwischen zwei Teilen dauerte vier Jahre. Wenn man unterstellt, dass der nächste Band erneut mit einem solchen Zeitabstand erschiene, hätte er sich ergo für 2020 ergeben müssen.

Typhon Pact Reading Order

Hey all, I know there has been some discussion of this before, but I don't remember quite where, so I figured new thread is easiest. I'm just getting to the Typhon Pact series now in my read through, what are people's suggestions for the best order to read them in (spoiler free of course)? I'm also making my way through Voyager as well, and I saw from The Almighty Flow Chart that there's some character/background stuff that flows from Paths of Disharmony into Protectors, how important is it to read PoD before Protectors? If it's not particularly important I may try to knock out Voyager first.  

Christopher

I don't understand how Paths of Disharmony , which takes place in October 2382, could lead into Protectors , which takes place in the closing months of 2381. If there is any interconnection, it must just be background elements.  

Enterprise1701

Christohper is correct. I don't see anything in Protectors that connects to Paths of Disharmony . Plus, Protectors and Acts of Contrition don't even mention the Typhon Pact except in the historian's notes.

Rear Admiral

I would imagine the link between Voyager and Paths of Disharmony is the spoiler for the big event in Paths of Disharmony that is given in The Eternal Tide. Thats why I placed the newer Voyager novels out of exact chronological order in my Simple Post Nemesis Reading List on my site, though I can't speak for 8of5 or Thrawn.  

Fleet Captain

I think the connection is actually to The Eternal Tide , and it involves some time travel - essentially, if you don't want the end of Paths of Disharmony spoiled, read it before The Eternal Tide . ETA: ryan123450 beat me to it.  

Yes. There's a bit in Eternal Tide where events in the future are mentioned, and it spoils the end of Paths of Disharmony. As to your original question, probably: Rough Beasts of Empire Zero Sum Game Seize the Fire Paths of Disharmony eBook - The Struggle Within Plagues of Night Raise the Dawn Brinkmanship  

Is it better to read these in order of chronology or publication?

It's not a Typhon Pact book, but the Gorn do play a pretty big role in the second TNG Cold Equations book, Silent Weapons. Well, at least in the beginning, I'm not real far yet, but they've been playing a pretty big part so far.

Hey all, just a request, to the extent possible, no spoilers in this thread for Typhon Pact and beyond novels. I think we've generally been good on that, though there's been a little bit of flirtation with it.  

• Nov 16, 2014

The stuff I was talking about was revealed in the beginning of Silent Weapons, so it's not to big of a spoiler.

Hi all, I’m sorry that I’m incredibly late to this discussion, but I’m finishing the Destiny series and about to get into the Typhon Pact books, and I’m wondering how essential the Voyager books are to the overall story. Is it just background or is it necessary to understand the plot?

Doesn’t matter. Welcome!

So…about me. Yeah…well, you see, it’s like this: Until recently, I was a software developer and analyst, having become a slave to Corporate America after spending eleven years in the U.S. Marine Corps. Why did I join the military? Pretty simple, really. I’d gotten tired of people telling me what to do all the time, and was looking for a change.

In truth, I joined for a handful of different reasons, from carrying on a family tradition to wanting a challenge unlike anything else I’d faced to that point to simpler stuff like just wanting to see the world. I’m proud of my time spent in uniform. I gave Uncle Sam eleven years, and he gave me a long list of skills and experiences that have continued to serve me to this day. I think I got the better end of that deal by a fairly wide margin.

In September 2014, I said goodbye to my day job and embarked on a bold new journey as a full-time writer.

Though I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida, fate and circumstances have seen to it that my family and I now call Kansas City home.

Typhon Pact

The Typhon Pact was an alliance of six interstellar states formed in the wake of the Borg Invasion of 2381 as an opposing force to the United Federation of Planets and its allies. The pact consisted of the Romulan Star Empire , Tzenkethi Coalition , Breen Confederacy , Gorn Hegemony , Tholian Assembly and the Holy Order of the Kinshaya , all of which had hostile relations with the Federation and/or Klingon Empire in their previous history and all of which had typically previously maintained xenophobic and isolationist policies.

• 2 Attacks on the Federation
• 3 Diplomatic Missions
• 5 Background information
• 6 Connections

Origins [ ]

The Pact formed shortly after the Borg invasion at the outpost designated Typhon I . Tholian Ambassador Tezrene cited the Federation President Nanietta Bacco as the inspiration when she summoned Ambassadors from numerous states during the invasion to form an alliance to resist the Borg . The Pact states had no desire to ally with the Federation or the Klingons, but could see the wisdom in her suggestion and formed their own government as a new major power against the might of the Federation.

Vessels from the founding states formed the Pact at meetings in the Typhon Expanse ; this included the creation of a new joint currency and sharing of cloaking technology between the member states. One of the Pact's earliest activities was to employ the Ferengi Sekki to orchestrate a number of schemes to destabilize the Federation and slow down their rebuilding efforts, in an act of vengeance against the Federation for outbidding the Tholians to employ mercenaries to defend against the Borg in the invasion.

Sekki's plots included arming the Breen and Kinshaya with new disruptors , shutting down a dilithium mine in the Maxia Zeta system by infecting it with farantine , disrupting work to upgrade a topaline mine on Capella IV by encouraging the activities of a Capellan terrorist and souring relations between the Federation and Zalda by creating a scenario in which it appeared Zalda was refusing refugees. These various plots led Professor Sonek Pran and the USS Aventine to piece together what was going on and eventually discover the Pact had formed.

Knowledge of the Pact's formation prompted the Federation and Klingon Empire to invite the Imperial Romulan State , Ferengi Alliance , Talarian Republic and Cardassian Union to ally with the Empire and Federation in an expansion of the Khitomer Accords . ( ST novel : A Singular Destiny )

Attacks on the Federation [ ]

In 2382 , the Typhon Pact sent Romulan and Breen forces to the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards to steal the schematics for Starfleet 's quantum slipstream technology, killing several members of Starfleet in the process. Julian Bashir and Sarina Douglas infiltrated the Breen shipyard where the plans were stored and erased the schematics, while Ezri Dax and the USS Aventine crew destroyed a prototype Breen starship equipped with the slipstream drive. ( ST - Typhon Pact novel : Zero Sum Game )

In 2383 , elements of the Typhon Pact entered the Gamma Quadrant to seize technology from the Dominion in the belief that Jem'Hadar ships could be used to improve their ability to cope with slipstream pressures, only for these efforts to result in the destruction of Deep Space 9 when bombs planted to act as a diversion for returning ships proved to be too powerful ( ST - Typhon Pact novel : Plagues of Night ). When the Pact attempted to return to the Gamma Quadrant in secret by creating a smaller wormhole that would 'intercept' the Bajoran wormhole, this plan was thwarted when Kira Nerys sacrificed herself to detonate a runabout inside the wormhole, apparently causing it to collapse and cutting off access to the Gamma Quadrant. Shortly after this, the Pact abandoned attempts to create their own slipstream drive, noting to Sela - the main instigator of the drive project - that the Federation was unlikely to use the drive as a first-strike weapon if they hadn't done so yet, and musing that their attempts to recreate the drive had actually put them at more danger of war than if they had done nothing.

Diplomatic Missions [ ]

In 2385 , the Typhon Pact attempted to negotiate with the Ferengi Alliance in an attempt to have the Ferengi withdraw from the Khitomer Accords and join their alliance. During the negotiations the USS Enterprise -E was stationed at Ferenginar as a means "showing the flag" mission to the Pact. ( ST - The Fall novel : The Crimson Shadow )

Gallery [ ]

Background information [ ]

• David R. George III commented: " First of all, the conceit of the Pact is a grand one, uniting six alien races in the Star Trek universe in an alliance that threatens the Federation. That threat comes not just in the guise of military might, but also in social, economic, and other forms. In other words, it provides a wealth of conflict for our heroes, and conflict drives drama. So one good reason for readers to pick up the Typhon Pact novels is that the stories explore strange new worlds. In that way, the Pact novels really represent so much of what makes Trek what it is, but they do so in another way, too. Though hardly an exact analogy, one can easily see a degree of equivalency between the modern world’s clash of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Pact, and the clash of the Khitomer Accords alliance and the Typhon Pact. Such a setup allows the writers to explore the political and societal issues of today in a futuristic setting, in the best traditions of science fiction in general, and of Star Trek in particular.

• The Alliance : The Typhon Pact, and also the expanded Khitomer Accords, after the Ferengi and the Cardassians formally ally with the Federation and Klingons. Members of the Cardassian military and Ferengi Treasury Guard begin serving on Federation ships and outposts.
• Anyone Can Die : Notably, Joseph Sisko, Tal'aura and Donatra in Rough Beasts of Empire , Sela, Vaughn and possibly Kira in Raise the Dawn . And of course Deep Space Nine in Plagues of Night.
• Apple of Discord / Conflict Ball : With the apocalyptic Borg threat previously resolved in Star Trek: Destiny , the series basically runs on this.
• Paths of Disharmony returns to the Andorian genetics/politics arc from the Relaunch, and explores the effect Star Trek: Destiny and its aftermath had on the situation. It also makes good use of ideas introduced in Star Trek: Vanguard , with the classified records of those novels' events being integral to Paths of Disharmony's plot.
• Arch-Enemy : Politically, President Bacco and Ambassador Tezrene are almost certainly arch enemies by now. In Zero Sum Game , Bacco "wins" the latest political tussle between them (the time before, in A Singular Destiny , Tezrene came out on top). In Paths of Disharmony , it's once again Tezrene's turn to score, when her people succeed in causing further political chaos in the Federation.
• Artificial Gravity : The Tzenkethi manipulate gravity on a local scale so they can use every surface of a room for work or recreation. They consider using only the floor to be a foolish waste of available space. Also, they're psychologically uncomfortable with open spaces and prefer the sense of enclosement that comes from having workstations on every wall, floor and ceiling.
• Cardassian Ambassador Detrek in Brinkmanship blusters, threatens and generally makes the negotiations with the Venetans impossible. She's just a distraction so that the Cardassians can extract an operative from the Tzenkethi homeworld.
• However, their plan might be starting to backfire as praetor Tal'aura's sucessor (Gell Kamemor) is trying to build peace with the UFP instead of antagonizing it.
• Belligerent Sexual Tension : In Zero Sum Game , Ezri invites Bashir into her quarters for dinner. It seems to be going well, with her seeking to make amends for what had went wrong between them. And then she discovers that Julian is seeing Sarina...and suddenly their conversation dissolves into a heated argument, out of the blue....
• Brainwashing : Tzenkethi who deviate too far from their designated place in society are sent for "Reconditioning". Those who cannot be "fixed" via the ReCo process are designated as "nulls" and used as the most menial of laborers.
• Bullying a Dragon : The Tal Shiar, Breen and Tzenkethi operatives steal technology from the Dominion. Twice.
• Call-Back / Continuity Nod : A scene in Zero Sum Game , in which President Bacco is confronted by Federation Council members wary of her potentially questionable decisions, announcing their intention to veto a bill only to be outmaneuvered, recalls a scene in A Time to Heal , where then-President Zife faced a similar confrontation. Where Zife deflected criticism by appealing to humanitarian arguments, while actually up to his neck in illegal activities, Bacco attacks with information on the support she has from other councillors, seemingly convinced that she's on the right side of the moral line. As both novels were written by the same author, the similarities between the two scenes are likely entirely deliberate. Whether the Bacco scene serves to reinforce why she's different and better than Zife or hints uncomfortably at the possibility for similarities unless she's careful, is up to the reader.
• City of Canals : Utyrak, on the planet Salavat in the Breen Condederacy, as seen in Zero Sum Game . Like all Breen cities it's underground, built on a subterranean canal network.
• Dark Is Not Evil : The Breen salutation "Night and silence protect you", and its reply "may darkness bring you fortune".
• A Day in the Limelight : Each book focuses on one member (sometimes two) of the titular Typhon Pact, many of them previously somewhat minor players. The only member without a focus was the Kinshaya...until the announcement of a "bonus story" in novella form, which featured them extensively. The same novella took a non-Typhon Pact member, the Talarians, and fleshed them out too.
• Democracy Is Bad : The Tzenkethi have this belief, which is why they're so opposed to the United Federation of Planets. Alizome, a Tzenkethi agent, reflects on the disturbing concept of allowing anyone a political voice: "Those mediocre and substandard minds - uneducated, self-centred, avaricious, prejudiced, chauvinistically patriotic - would ultimately bring about the downfall of their society".
• Despair Event Horizon : The Andorians reach theirs in this series, now that Andor has been heavily damaged by the Borg, and they learn that the Federation has been sitting for a century on the technology that might have solved their genetic crisis.
• Double-Meaning Title : As well as the obvious meaning, Zero Sum Game is also a reference to "cold war" as well as to the Breen, who are popularly supposed to live in sub-zero temperatures.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good : A good explanation of Sela's justification for trying to create the quantum slipstream drive for the Pact, as she can't conceive of the possibility that the Federation won't use it as a first-strike weapon against Romulus because that's what they'd do if the situation was the other way around. In the end, other characters observe that Sela's actions have actually caused more danger for the Pact than if she had done nothing, while the fact that the Federation haven't used the drive against them yet should be a good sign that they never will.
• Evil Counterpart : Although the Breen are a multi-faceted people, as an antagonist culture they serve as this to the Federation. Like the Federation, they draw on multiple races and cultures to form their membership, and no race is legally subordinate to another. However, where the Federation celebrates its diversity and the potential for new perspectives, the Breen fear bias to an extreme degree, and insist on hiding their diversity even as they utilize it. Where the Federation is open and bright, the Breen are secretive, closed-off and embrace the shadows.
• Expy : Romulan Commander Marius for Commander Tomalak (who's busy elsewhere at present). The writing in Zero Sum Game even draws attention to the similarity, playing Marius and Captain Dax as a reflection of Tomalak and Captain Picard.
• Face Death with Dignity : Thot Keer. It also overlaps slightly with Dying as Yourself , in that in his last seconds he removes his Breen mask to reveal his true face, deliberately dying as a member of his birth race while having "lived a Breen".
• Faceless Goons : Justified . In Zero Sum Game the real reason the Breen wear those suits and masks is because they're a confederation of about a dozen species, and the suits make it easier to work together by heading off Fantastic Racism as they all appear as Breen to one another.
• Fantastic Caste System : The Gorn have been given this (as was hinted in earlier Star Trek Expanded Universe works). The Tzenkethi sort of have one, though they don't appreciate the term "caste" being applied by outsiders.
• Laas the changeling hasn't made much progress in his attitude toward "monoforms", as evident in Plagues of Night . He cares nothing for the political rivalries of the various "solid" species, stating that wars between them would result in less monoforms, leaving the galaxy for those who deserve to have it, namely shapeshifters.
• The Andorian engineer who planted the bombs that destroyed Deep Space Nine accuses the Federation of practicing this towards Andorians, though by that point he's pretty mentally unbalanced.
• The Breen wear full-body suits and masks as a way of defying this trope. They're a confederation of about a dozen species (five are named) and the suits make it so that as far as they or anyone else is concerned, they're all Breen.
• Breen ranks include Thot (canonically established), Chot, and Ghoc. They're attached to the front of a Breen's short-hand name, so that the Breen Deshinar Tibbonel, for instance, is known as "Chot Nar".
• Gorn ranks include the Ozuk , and Warrior Caste units are led by a First Myrmidon.
• The Kinshaya ranks translate as Vicar, Deacon, Bishop, Arch-Bishop, etc.
• The Federation : Besides the obvious, this series establishes the Breen Confederacy to be just that: a confederation of about a dozen different species under a common banner. This neatly explains the sometimes-contradictory exposition about the Breen in the shows: the weird stories about their physiology come from encounters with vastly different member species.
• Fictional Currency : The Breen Confederacy's Sakto .
• Fictional Political Party : The Parliament Andoria is split between the Modern Progressives and the Visionists. The novel Paths of Disharmony also points out some of the flaws in a political system defined by "rival" parties.
• Floating Head Syndrome : Most of the covers, with the exception of Plagues of Night and Raise the Dawn , which instead go for (really quite gorgeous) starship art.
• General Ripper : First Myrmidon Gog'resssh, a Gorn command officer of the warrior caste. Driven slowly mad by radiation poisoning, he becomes increasingly brutal and unhinged. He switches between being completely paranoid and strangely trusting, though he's always dangerous.
• Going Native : Neta Efheny, in Brinkmanship , a Cardassian spy inserted into the Tzenkethi Department of the Outside as a low-grade worker. She comes to prefer the certainty that comes with knowing your place and your function, worrying about nothing but how to perform that function, free from the need to face any of the complications regarding identity or responsibility. She eventually accepts the mind-numbing contentment of a low-grade Tzenkethi and allows herself to be fully subsumed into their society. But not before handing off critical intel to her superiors through a Tzenkethi intermediary.
• Good Hair, Evil Hair : Apparently, the Cardassians have taken to wearing their hair close-shaven rather than in the traditional slick-backed style we're familiar with from the TV series. This is because that style is associated with the disastrous policies that led to Cardassia's devastation.
• Grappling-Hook Pistol : In Zero Sum Game , Bashir and Sarina Douglas have "bolt-launchers" which resemble tiny harpoon-guns trailing monofilament wire. They can also be set for zero-recoil for use in space, although at one point Bashir intentionally doesn't do this to use it as a low-power personal thruster.
• Green-Eyed Monster : The Breen envy the Romulans' leading position as most powerful Pact member. They therefore spend as much time trying to wrest the dominant position within the Pact from the Romulans as they do plotting against the Federation. And since they do the latter almost constantly lately...
• Heel–Face Turn : Apparently, some of the Ascendants (see Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch ). Raiq herself is studying on Bajor as of Rough Beasts Of Empire .
• Praetor Gell Kamemor may be a Romulan patriot opposed to the Federation politically, but adamantly disagrees with the notion of Romulan superiority that the Tal Shiar and most of the Romulan military believe in. She would rather resolve the conflict with the Federation in the diplomatic arena than on a battlefield. All of her scenes in the series show her as a Reasonable Authority Figure compared to the previous cadre of conniving and backstabbing Romulan politicians.
• Hold Your Hippogriffs : "Permit me to make my meaning as clear as crysmetal".
• Hufflepuff House : The Kinshaya, who have important roles in two e-book novellas ( The Struggle Within and The Stuff of Dreams ) but rarely show up in the full-length novels. It may have something to do with their being the only Typhon Pact member not to be canonically established on screen (they're an invention of the literature).
• I'm a Humanitarian : Dr. Ree makes the joke that gives this trope its name. Also, the Gorn under Gog'resssh briefly and half-jokingly suggest they could eat the Starfleet crew for provisions. Of course, Gog'resssh's crew are insane by this point.
• Ignorant of Their Own Ignorance : Bashir notes that most of the Federation were unaware of the existence of the Shedai metagenome in the first place, and of the few who did even fewer of them knew that it might have some way of helping the Andorians, so the Andorians were not deliberately neglected .
• Innocent Aliens : The Venetans in Brinkmanship . They're almost completely unable to handle the shifty politics and misdirection of the major galactic powers, with their leading citizen becoming literally ill from stress when confronted with realities like espionage.
• Intergenerational Friendship : Eklanir th'Gahryn reflects on the value of these in Paths of Disharmony . In particular, his friendship with his much younger aide ch'Drena is highly important to him.
• The Gorn seem to have shades of the same problem; emphasizing the warrior component of their culture and disregarding the equally important non-military aspects. In their case, rather than a gender division it's a matter of caste; the Technologist caste appears to be looked down on by the warriors. As an interesting extension of the idea, the Political Caste seems to have such fear of the warriors' tendency to promote themselves above other Gorn that they've deliberately undercut their power by giving them only a single breeding world.
• Leave Behind a Pistol : Sela is given a choice between drinking a bowl of fast-acting poison or be branded a traitor and face extradition to Earth for her role in betraying the Praetor and almost touching off war with the Federation . As the Praetor walks away from the cell, she hears the bowl clatter to the floor.
• Light Is Not Good : The Tzenkethi, who glow with a beautiful light that is considered strikingly beautiful by most other species. They're actually very manipulative, though, and the clearest villains of Rough Beasts of Empire .
• Seize the Fire comes from "The Tyger" by William Blake .
• Played with in David R. George III's books, Rough Beasts of Empire , Plagues of Night and Raise the Dawn , which all open with the passage of poetry the title comes from, only they're In-Universe quotes: a Romulan poet in the first book and K. C. Hunter from "Far Beyond the Stars" in the duology. However the titles of the internal sections are all genuine allusions: in Rough Beasts they're from Gerard Manley Hopkins, and both books in the duology Shout-Out to Shakespeare ( Macbeth and The Tempest respectively).
• Manipulative Bastard : Alizome the Tzenkethi agent, in both Rough Beasts of Empire and Brinkmanship . The Tzenkethi in general are the Manipulative Bastard of the Typhon Pact (the Tholians might give them a run for their money sometimes, but the Tzenkethi take the trophy).
• Microts : Tzenkethi "Skyturn" and "Twin-month".
• Military Maverick : Romulan Commander Marius, definitely. His apparent rival Captain Dax is often this as well.
• My Greatest Failure : Ro sees the destruction of Deep Space Nine as hers, despite saving over 5500 lives.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero . Starfleet's decision to classify the Shedai metagenome following the events of Star Trek: Vanguard a century ago. This comes back to bite them in the ass when the Tholians reveal its existence to the Andorians and that the Federation has been sitting on it throughout the Andorians' genetic crisis. It's the tipping point that leads to Andoria's secession from the Federation.
• "Not So Different" Remark : Depressed and weary after a difficult mission, Julian Bashir cynically ponders how the Federation and the more militant members of the Pact are both acting out of fear and concern for their security and power, and wonders if they're really so different. Then he corrects his thinking, reminding himself that the Federation doesn't seek out conflict, prefers diplomacy to hostility and doesn't seek to usurp other races' territory or resources. In other words, even if the current motives are the same in some respects, he's wrong to suggest the Federation isn't very different from, say, the Tzenkethi or the Tholians.
• By Plagues of Night , Spock realizes that his role in Reunification is now ending, as his protégés take over.
• As of Paths of Disharmony, Andor has seceded from the Federation !
• And as of Plagues of Night and Raise the Dawn Deep Space Nine is destroyed and the Bajoran Wormhole is closed/collapsed.
• Occupiers Out of Our Country : As of Paths of Disharmony , a vocal minority of Andorians have come to view the Federation as essentially an oppressive force manipulating Andor for its own ends at the expense of the planet's own national and cultural identity. This is the motivation behind the Well-Intentioned Extremist who serves as the novel's primary antagonist. The idea is encouraged by the Tholians , who arrange to drop a proverbial bombshell at just the right (wrong) time.
• United Federation of Planets: led by the President
• Klingon Empire: led by the Chancellor
• Cardassian Union: led by the Castellan
• Ferengi Alliance: led by the Grand Nagus
• Talarian Republic: led by the Commander-in-Chief
• Romulan Star Empire: led by the Praetor
• Breen Confederacy: led by the Domo
• Tzenkethi Coalition: led by the Autarch
• Gorn Hegemony: led by the Imperator
• Tholian Assembly: led by the High Magistrates of the Ruling Conclave
• Holy Order of the Kinshaya: led by the Pontifex Maxima.
• Only Smart People May Pass : The home and office of the Tzenkethi Autarch is inside a building with a flexible and highly changable structural design. To access the house requires contemplation of mathematical principles and aesthetics, to puzzle out the likely position of concealed openings. Agents of the Autarch are therefore tested every time they report to the building, and must demonstrate their worth by finding a way inside.
• Order Versus Chaos : Important to the Tzenkethi view of the universe; they very definitely represent order. Everyone in Tzenkethi society knows their place, being ranked by exact occupational duties and proficiency level. Chaos is anathema, and the sprawling mass of the Federation and its democratic government is considered a threat and seemingly a very real evil.
• Our Gryphons Are Different : The Kinshaya.
• Patriotic Fervor : On Andor, among several groups advocating the planet's withdrawal from the Federation in favour of more directly Andor-centric politics. Others fear that Andorian national/cultural identity is being destroyed by influence from offworlders.
• This is a nod to the pre-continuity novels, where no one could stick to using just one name for the Romulan capital.
• Pungeon Master : T'Ryssa, as usual. The highlight this time round is her referring to Kinshaya engaging in non-violent protests as "hippie-griffs" (Kinshaya being the Star Trek Novel 'Verse 's Our Gryphons Are Different race).

• Reptiles Are Abhorrent : Discussed at some length in Seize the Fire , and also played with when the reptilian Gorn show similar revulsion to mammals. "Mammals. Why did it have to be mammals?"
• Revision : Zero Sum Game tackles the Continuity Snarl various sources have turned the Breen into (Do they really need cold temperatures to survive? If not, why do they always wear environmental suits described as having refrigeration properties? How humanoid are they under the suits? Are they invulnerable to telepathy or not?) and comes up with the simple explanation that there's more than one species in the Breen Confederacy.
• Selective Obliviousness : In Raise the Dawn , when Bashir confronts Andorian ensign th'Shant, responsible for planting the bombs that destroyed Deep Space Nine, he swiftly realises that th'Shant is basically ignoring any evidence that contradicts his idea that the Federation are prejudiced against Andorians .
• Brinkmanship may take it the furthest yet, as in some respects the situation in Venetan space is the two powers' very own Cuban Missile Crisis.
• And the new Deep Space Nine.
• And then it's used to infiltrate Dominion space and steal components needed for the Typhon Pact's quantum slipstream project. Twice.
• Team Switzerland : The Boslic, ruled by the Triumvirate of Cort, are chosen to host a conference between the heads of state of the various major powers because everyone knows they're dedicated to political neutrality.
• Teeth Clenched Team Work : The Pact was thrown together rather quickly, and the member nations aren't always the best at actually working together.
• Terraform : In Seize the Fire .
• Thrown Out the Airlock : The Gorn Hegemony is shown to practice this as a form of execution. The prisoner is entitled to an official trial, but that doesn't stop some commanders spacing traitors there and then. In Seize the Fire , the Gorn technologist S'syrixx is thrown out the airlock, having been found guilty of sabotage.
• Villain Team-Up : Essentially the idea behind the series, only with a twist. The nations which form the Pact were historically antagonistic, often to each other as well as to the Federation. Their outlook is changing, but to what degree and how far will it take them? A "cold war" situation has developed, but the agendas of all the players are still somewhat unclear, and whether the Pact takes an openly aggressive stance towards the Federation depends on which members gain the most influence. The Tholians, at least, are out for blood, whether the rest of the Pact follows their lead or reins them in is anyone's guess.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist : Eklanir th'Gahryn, leader of the Andorian Treishya separatist movement.
• Why Did You Make Me Hit You? : The Tholians blame the Federation for Tholian raids on Federation allies, insisting that the Federation is at fault for provoking the Tholians. Bacco notes that this is "just Tholians being Tholians".
• Wicked Cultured : The Cardassian intelligence agency has adopted this as their distinguishing characteristic. Dax even notes that they're playing it up in an effort to be more like Garak, the eventual "winner" of the Obsidian Order's lengthy game.
• Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters : This comes up with the Andorian Treishya terrorists, though it's pointed out how absurd it is to suggest Andorians are in need of "freedom fighters".

Typhon Pact: Brinkmanship Available On Tuesday

Brinkmanship , the eighth installment in Simon & Schuster’s Star Trek: Typhon Pact saga, will arrive in bookstores on Tuesday. Penned by Una McCormack, who knows her way around the DS9 novel universe, Brinkmanship is a TNG tale that also finds Ezri Dax front and center.Here’s the synopsis straight from Simon & Schuster: The Venette Convention has always remained independent, but it is about to become the flashpoint for a tense military standoff between the two power blocs now dominating interstellar space—the United Federation of Planets and the recently formed Typhon Pact. The Venetan government turns to the Typhon Pact’s Tzenkethi Coalition for protection in the new order, and has agreed to allow three of their supply bases for Tzenkethi use. But these bases—if militarized—would put Tzenkethi weapons unacceptably close to Federation, Cardassian, and Ferengi space. While Captain Ezri Dax and the crew of the U.S.S. Aventine are sent to investigate exactly what is happening at one of the Venette bases, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the U.S.S. Enterprise are assigned to a diplomatic mission sent to the Venette homeworld in order to broker a mutually acceptable resolution. But the Cardassian delegates don’t seem particularly keen on using diplomacy to resolve the situation, which soon spirals out of control toward all-out war…

Star Trek: Typhon Pact: Brinkmanship runs 352-pages and will be available in the mass market paperback and eBook formats for $7.99. Click HERE to pre-order.
