Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As always, plots involving Romulans seem to turn on points of honor as well as action and treachery: FACE OF THE ENEMY has all of them.
A human defects -back- from the Romulan Star Empire at the behest of Ambassador Spock, with word that Vice Proconsul M'ret wishes to defect. A victory? Perhaps: but Counselor Deanna Troy has been kidnapped by Spock's Romulan insurgency and modified to resemble a Tal Shiar operative (murdered for the occasion) and placed on board the KHAZARA, commanded by Toreth, another Romulan commander with a grudge against the people who killed her father for treason.
In a twisty plot during which Troi's Betazoid empathy makes her put on an imitation of an unscrupulous Romulan that is too good to be comfortable, Spock takes another step toward Unification via "cowboy diplomacy" and STAR TREK creates the inside of a Romulan warbird and its crew's customs.
Superbly economical worldbuilding. And, incidentally, superb research material if you happen to be writing a book on Romulans.
