Title: Serpents Among The Ruins - SPOILERS

So did anyone else expect that WE caused the Tomed Incident?  Because I sure as hell didn't.

I've read that book twice now, and even though I knew what happened the second time, I was still "holy shit, I can't believe we just did that".

In order to avert a war with the Romulans, Captain Harriman & Starfleet Intelligence concocted a plan to steal a Romulan warship, falsify computer records, and destroy almost an entire sector of space, making the rest of the federation believe that 3000-plus people had died, when really no one was on any of the outposts or on the ship that had been destroyed.

To me, it was a great dramatic moment.  Maybe it's just me, though.

Oh, now I understand why I didn't understand what you were talking about.  Carry on.

Yeah, it's a Star Trek novel.  I don't know how many other folks here are Star Trek Novel Geeks, but I figured I'd take a shot.

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you
