Live by the Code is the fourth novel in the Rise of the Federation series by Christopher L. Bennett, and was released 29 March 2016.

Description[]

Admiral Jonathan Archer has barely settled in as Starfleet Chief of Staff when new crises demand his attention. The Starfleet task force commanded by Captain Malcolm Reed continues its fight against the deadly Ware technology, but one of the task force ships is captured, its Andorian crew imprisoned by an interstellar Partnership that depends on the Ware for its prosperity. Worse, the Partnership has allied with a renegade Klingon faction, providing it with Ware drone fleets to mount an insurrection against the Klingon Empire. Archer sends Captain T'Pol and Endeavour to assist Reed in his efforts to free the captured officers. But he must also keep his eye on the Klingon border, for factions within the Empire blame Starfleet for provoking the Ware threat and seek to take revenge. Even the skill and dedication of the captains under Archer's command may not be enough to prevent the outbreak of the Federation's first war!

Summary[]

The Klingons request Phlox's assistance in investigating the death of their chancellor M'Rek. Phlox quickly establishes that he died from a genetically engineered virus created by Krit, the son of Antaak, triggering the succession process.

The Vol'Rala continues Starfleet's mission to eradicate the Ware. They come across the Partnership of Civilizations, a race who used the Wares by having volunteers run them for a few months each, being replaced before they suffer permanent damage. However, the Vol'Rala deactivates the Wares on each world in turn, leaving behind support ships to assist the change. Vabion allies himself with a Klingon privateer, Lokog, and together they protect the next planet in the chain and help them capture the Vol'Rala. In return, Lokog is provided with Ware drone ships.

The Pioneer heads to investigate only to learn that the Partnership races are incapable of having a technological society without the Wares. Furthermore, races not suited to the environments on the planets where the Wares have been deactivated have died in their tens of thousands. Meanwhile, B'orel, one of the candidates for Klingon leadership who has advocated the annihilation of the QuchHa', has ordered the massacre of one of their colonies, prompting senior QuchHa' to turn to Lokog's drone ships in order to fight a rebellion.

Phlox invites Archer and the crew of the Endeavour to the wedding of his daughter Vaneel and an Antaran, Pehle Retab. However, Phlox's Antaran-hating son, Mettus, kills Pehle's father Sohon shortly after the ceremony. Although he is to be extradited to Antar, Mettus is abducted by anti-Denobulan Antarans who intend to hold a show trial and execution. Phlox convinces the Antaran authorities to rescue him. Mettus is jailed on Antar and begins to rebuild his relationship with Phlox.

The Endeavour joins the Pioneer: En route, Sato is informed of Tucker's survival. They and Vabion separately track the origin of the Ware: A company created them for profit, gaining a monopoly on all products, but soon became so obsessed with profit that they failed to train any engineers to maintain them. Following their program to the letter, the Ware began the process of abducting people to replace its computer processes, eventually destroying the civilisation. Starfleet offer to help the Partnership by replacing the volunteers with computer processors but early experiments only destroy the Ware.

The war-like Klingon factions decide to declare war on both the Ware and the Federation. Deqan, the Arbiter of Succession, manages to alert the Federation to the first attacks and declares whoever ends the Ware-supported rebellion will be chancellor. Section 31, using information from Olivia Akomo, supply the Klingons with the means to destroy the Ware, with which they invade Partnership space. Starfleet are forced to retreat, taking as many refugees as possible to the worlds already free of the Ware. The Vol'Rala crew are restored to their ship and sacrifice themselves to cover the withdrawal. "Collier" is blamed for the information leak by Section 31, forcing Tucker to assume a new identity.

New Klingon Chancellor Khorkal ends the rebellion. Laneth kills Bo'rel in a duel (secretly using a poisoned blade) and K'Vagh replaces him on the High Council.

Tucker discovers Abramson has assumed a new identity as Akharin, supported by Akomo and Vabion. Now completely disillusioned with Section 31, he proposes an alliance.
