Description:
Prior to the terror-filled times of the Long War—the seemingly endless struggle against the Undine, a paranoid, shape-shifting race once known only as Species 8472—enemy sleeper agents quietly penetrated every echelon of Federation society, as well as other starfaring civilizations throughout the Alpha and Beta quadrants. The ensuing conflict shook humanity to its very core, often placing its highest ideals against a pure survival instinct. All too frequently, the Undine War demanded the harshest of sacrifices and exacted the steepest of personal costs from the countless millions whose lives the great interdimensional clash forever altered.
Drawn from his exhaustive research and interviews, The Needs of the Many delivers a glimpse of Betar Prize–winning author Jake Sisko’s comprehensive "living history" of this tumultuous era. With collaborator Michael A. Martin, Sisko illuminates an often-poorly-understood time, an age marked indelibly by both fear and courage—not to mention the willingness of multitudes of unsung heroes who became the living embodiment of the ancient Vulcan philosopher Surak’s famous axiom, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
Pre-Orders are available at Amazon, as well as several other booksellers.

Sounds fun I'm looking forward to reading it.
Color me skeptical. Movie tie ins seem to always end badly. A game tie in seems to have an even more dubious outcome. But I will download the first chapter onto my iphone to see if it's any good.
The Needs of the Many, and failing to meet them. By Cryptic entertainment.
Now that's a book.
Edit- so i don't seem like I'm trolling. I just find the title of the book hilarious, considering what has transpired over the release of the game.

Conan did a bunch of tie-in books that were fun; and of course WOW has entire shelves of them.
2 months ather release?
I mean their already talking about the Next Playable race and now a book
maybe they should finish the live game first?
Star Trek novels are already mostly bad (with a few gems,) I can't imagine how horrible a Star trek Online novel will be...
I enjoyed the CoH novels. I look forward to giving this a spin.
