Book description
Captain Jean-Luc Picard has long enjoyed playing the part of Dixon
Hill, a hard-boiled private eye straight out of American pulpfiction.
His holographic excursions into 1940s San Francisco, a colorful world of
gunplay and gangsters, provide a welcome diversion from his hefty
responsibilities as a Starfleet captain.
But not this time.
The Starship Enterprise has lost power and control, its own
momentum carrying it ever deeper into a dangerous zone of warped space
and time. And the only way out is hidden somewhere in the mean streets
and back alleys of old Frisco. But so is a cold-blooded murderer....
Now Dixon Hill, alias Jean-Luc Picard, must get to the bottom of a
tangled mystery that threatens the lives of everyone aboard the
Enterprise !
Dean Wesley Smith is the author of over 30 Star Trek
novels either solo or written jointly with Kristine Kathryn Rusch. He
has edited all six volumes of the Star Trek STRANGE NEW WORLDS short
story anthologies and lives in Eugene, Oregon.
