Why this must be read:

"The Captain and Counselor" AU series (40+ stories to date, many of them novel-length) has allowed all of the Enterprise characters to grow and change remarkably over time while still keeping them recognizable as their canon selves. A cursory recital of the major developments--Picard and Troi are married, and Troi is the First Officer--doesn't do justice to the richly textured and beautifully written narrative. This particular story (actually, novel) can be appreciated on its own, and is an amazing and rewarding read. In a nutshell, during a delicate diplomatic mission, Picard is severely injured and the ship and the away team are forced to flee in opposite directions after a terrorist attack. Seeing Troi cope on both a professional and personal level, the fascinating twists and turns in the plot, the sheer *alienness* of the species involved, all combine to make this an unforgettable adventure.
