On the way to peace talks with the Gorn, Picard is thrown into the past to the colony that the Gorn attacked in TOS. The ending has a bit of a gut-wrenching twist, which was very well done. I don’t know why a younger Picard is on the cover, but that’s not the authors’ doing! For a species we don’t know much about, this book does the Gorn well.
