Book description
When ancient alien technology is found on a colony world, when robot
soldiers from an eons-old interstellar battle restart their war in a
highly populated sector, when a global computer system starts to break
down or take over, in goes the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. Overseen by
Captain Montgomery Scott from his office at Starfleet Headquarters, the
S. C.E. can build, rebuild, program, reprogram, assemble, reassemble, or
just figure out everything from alien replicators to to doomsday
machines. Just don't expect them to perform miracles -- unless they have
to.
The U. S.S. Enterpriseè has defeated a gigantic marauding
starship from parts unknown. Now that the immediate threat has been
neutralized, the S. C.E. has been called in to probe the vanquished
hulk in search of both new technology and the secret of its origin.
Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge has temporarily transferred from
the Enterprise to assist Captain David Gold and the crew of the S.
C.E. ship, the U. S.S. da Vinci, on this fascinating mission.
La Forge works with Gold and his top-of-the-line group of technical
specialists to unravel the high-tech mysteries of the supposedly dead
alien vessel, only to discover that the real danger has just begun!
Dean Wesley Smith is the author of over 30 Star Trek

story anthologies and lives in Eugene, Oregon.
