Star Trek: Enterprise: The Romulan War: Beneath the Raptor's Wing (Star Trek : Enterprise) Review
Michael A Martin has created a wonderful new Enterprise universe. After rushing events to conclude the final season of Star Trek Enterprise, the studio created more story questions than were answered. Martin has regrouped those questions and spun a web of story telling that any 21st century reader can appreciate. Deeply detailed, each scene setting is clear and authentic. In addition, the "bad guys" are only "bad guys" from a certain perspective. It is classic Star Trek in every well chosen word. As our world establishes new borders seemingly every day, so does this work. Each species and government, friend and foe alike, are embroiled in political machinations caused by mistrust, poor communication, and sometimes plain old ignorance. There is no cheating the reader with 24th century gizmo's. Star Trek Enterprise; The Romulan War brings us to the frustrating realities of time, distance, and the unpredictable nature of other beings and their technologies. Roddenberry's "Wagon train to the Stars" is in good hands, and hopefully intent on providing us years of wonderful story telling.

Star Trek: Enterprise: The Romulan War: Beneath the Raptor's Wing (Star Trek : Enterprise) Overview
At the start of the twenty-first century, unconditional war swept across the Earth. A war that engulfed the great and the small, the rich and the poor, giving no quarter. Each side strove for unconditional victory, and as battle built upon battle, the living began to envy the dead.
Chastised by the cataclysm that they had unleashed, the governments of Earth came together. Humanity vowed to put an end to war and to strive for the betterment of every living creature. A united Earth created Starfleet, an interstellar agency whose mission was to explore the cosmos, to come in peace for all mankind. It was a naïve wish that was battered by interstellar realities, yet man persists in the belief that peace is the way. Banding together with other powers to form a Coalition of Planets, humanity hopes that the strength each can offer the other will allow for peaceful exploration.
However, the rise of the Coalition strikes dread within the Romulan Star Empire. They feel its growing reach will cut them off from what is rightfully theirs. The Romulans know that the alliance is fragile, that the correct strategy could turn allies into foes. Perfecting a way of remotely controlling Coalition ships and using them as weapons against one another, the Romulans hope to drive a wedge of suspicion and mistrust between these new allies.
One Starfleet captain uncovers this insidious plot: Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise. Determined not to lose what they have gained, outmanned and outgunned, the captains of Starfleet stand tall, vowing to defend every inch of Coalition space until the tide begins to turn.
The Romulans now plan to strike at what they see as the heart of their problem. With nothing left to lose, the Romulan Star Empire engages in all-out war against humanity, determined once and for all to stop the human menace from spreading across the galaxy.
