Story Synopsis
"Swordhunt" is the third installment in Diane Duane's acclaimed Rihannsu series, which delves into the complex and honor-bound Romulan culture. In this thrilling narrative, the tenuous peace between the Federation and the Romulan Empire faces new challenges as internal political strife threatens to tear the Empire apart from within.
Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise find themselves once again working alongside the honorable Romulan Commander Ael t'Rllaillieu, who continues her quest to restore the ancient values and traditions of her people against corrupt leadership. As the situation escalates toward potential civil war, the story explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the sometimes blurry line between enemies and allies. Duane's rich worldbuilding and deep understanding of Romulan psychology make this a standout entry in the Star Trek literary universe.
