Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

An Away Team visits Angosia, a planet seeking membership in the Federation. As the team meets with Angosian Prime Minister Nayrok (James Cromwell), a violent prisoner escapes Angosia's penal colony. Picard (Patrick Stewart) immediately mobilizes his crew, and the escapee, Roga Danar (Jeff McCarthy), is captured and beamed aboard the Enterprise.

Troi (Marina Sirtis) finds herself drawn to Danar, who tells her that psychological and biochemical modifications were conducted on him by Nayrok's government. Programmed for violence and unfit for civilian life, he was then exiled to the penal colony.

When Picard confronts Nayrok with Danar's story, the prime minister brusquely demands the prisoner's return. But Danar escapes and releases more prisoners from the penal colony. Can Picard prevent an Angosian civil war...and should he?

Built for War

Jeff McCarthy portrays a prisoner of a war long gone on planet Angosia. While Prime Minister Nayrok portrayed by James Cromwell; applies for Federation Membership, this guy is wreaking havoc aboard the Enterprise. The best scences were in the transporter room. When the prisoner disarms all the security with deadly precision.

It's a matter that Picard can't handle. He eventually escapes and causes a revolution on his home world.
