A deadly Romulan Warbird leads the Starship Enterprise into a web of treachery!
Introduction (blurb)
Hermeticus 2 - a planet so shrouded in secrecy that few in the Federation even know of its existence. When a Romulan spy learns of the world, it becomes the centerpiece of a far-reaching Romulan plot.
On routine patrol near the border of the Neutral Zone, the Starship Enterprise discovers an advanced Romulan Warbird prototype drifting lifeless in space. Investigating the vessel, Captain Picard is drawn into a plot that threatens the very foundation of the Federation. Now with time running out, Captain Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise must stop the Romulans before the deadly secrets of Hermeticus 2 overwhelms them all.

Information
- The novel makes mention of a "Romulan High Council" as the leading body of the Star Empire which advised the Praetor yet canon would state that its the Imperial Romulan Senate. Its possible that the High Council possessed power and was eventually replaced by the Senate or the High Council is an entirely separate body within the Star Empire.
- The planet Hermeticus II is said to be located in the Delta Quadrant in the Romulan Neutral Zone. This was perhaps in the time before the galaxy was divided into four quadrants.
