Triva
This book goes along way to explaining certain discrepancies as seen in the tenth Star Trek film "Nemesis". Though the books are not considered cannon they do give plausible reasons.
In the film during Captain Riker's and Commander Troi's wedding the character of Wesley Crusher is seen, even though in the TNG episode Journey's End he is seen leaving with the "Traveller". This is explained in the book as he came back in the first 2 books of the "A time to" series to help the crew of the Enterprise and now he's back to finally see the wedding. Also in the film he's seen wearing a lieutenants dress uniform even though he never finished star fleet academy, this is explained as Crusher came back with no clothes and the Quartermaster had no other dress uniforms available in his size.
In the film Worf is seen as tactical even though he left Deep Space Nine as the Federadtion Ambassador to the Klingon home world. The book explains how Worf had grown tired of politics and would liked to see more action. Leaving his son Alexander to be the next ambassador. Worf also replaces the character of Christine Vale, the previous Head of security who is a main character in the previous "A Time to" books". At the end of the book before the Enterprise departs for the event in "Nemesis" Christine Vale decides to take some extended shore leave.
