Summary
From the book jacket: Following the surprise resignation of Federation President Min Zife after the disastrous Tezwa affair, Nan Bacco of Cestus III has won a hotly contested election to become the new chief executive of over one hundred fifty planetary civilizations and their colonies. But no sooner does she take office than the Romulan Star Empire falls into chaos. With tensions already high, a Reman refugee ship is sighted approaching a Federation outpost, its intentions unknown.

As the first year of the Bacco Administration unfolds, the Federation Council is slow to work with it's new president, and not always supportive of her policies or her appointments to key council positions; a successful first contact suddenly becomes a diplomatic disaster; and the sins of President Zife prove difficult to lay to rest...as one celebrated Starfleet officer's career reaches a turning point.

Reviews

 * The West Wing, Star Trek-style. This novel does a great job answering all the questions fans have had about the government of the Federation. Not to say that the story is 100% perfect, as a major problem with it was that the writer clearly took more then the idea from The West Wing. Several minor plot points were taken directly from episodes of The West Wing. Several jokes are even taken from episodes, which as a fan of The West Wing, I must say fit the TV characters better then the characters in this novel. A great must-read novel none-the-less. - Lieutenant Ayala 00:46, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Information

 * The book's cover depicts Starfleet officers folding the flag of the Federation, presumably an illustration of one of the novels minor subplots, the death and funeral of former President Jaresh-Inyo. The silhouetted image of President Bacco looking out a curtained window echoes a famous photograph of U.S. President John Kennedy (as well as a similar image used in The West Wing's opening credits).
 * Outpost 22, the destination of Reman refugees in the novel, is listed on the title page as the location of one of Pocket Books' offices.
