This books has nothing thats not already explained in the show.
The problem with prequels is that there is little mystery. There is no suspense or intrigue in this book because the TV show already told us the ending. This book also erases the last 10+ years of TNG books, I am surprised any self respecting author would write over their own and the colleagues work.
