- I read the book. The building/city on the cover is not described anywhere. Settings in the book include the capital of the Tevent Coalition, which consists of skyscrapers (though not mile-high). Earth cities are mentioned (D.C., NYC) but nothing is given on their looks. If I were to guess, this generic image is supposed to represent either 1) the 2386 Tevent capital, 2), or a 2030s USA city. I'd go with the former, as Picard visits the city and a lot of the action takes place there across the chapters. Kind regards, -- Markonian 06:33, June 6, 2017 (UTC)
Thank you Admiral
Regarding timelining - i don't believe the book mentions a specific month in 2386 dating the event of the book, just that it is "late 2386" -- captainmike
