Book description
Far from the reaches of the Federation, the
Starship Enterprise
has been guiding the development of a once obscure planet upon whose
fate the future of the galaxy may now depend. The Enterprise
has been the sole representative of the Federation, fighting a constant
battle to protect the colonists from enemy aliens and standing alone
against all those who have their own designs on the colony world.
CHALLENGER
But all adventure come to an end. It is time for Captain Kirk and
the Enterprise to turn over the guardianship of the colony to
another ship and crew. The new ship arrives in the midst of a deadly
attack on the colony -- and is destroyed. With the Enterprise
off fighting a new and powerful enemy that threatens the colony as
well as its enemies, Commander Nick Keller, first officer and ranking
survivor of the decimated crew, is marooned and at first alone -- but
he must find a way to complete his original mission and come to the
aid of the Enterprise in what might be its most desperate hour.
