Book description
Identical twins Gerda and Idun Asmund lost their human parents early in
life and were raised as warriors on the Klingon homeworld. They were
taught to face every danger shoulder to shoulder -- regarding each other
as the only certainty in a dangerous and uncertain universe.
The Asmunds continued to depend on each other as helm officer and
navigator on the Starship Stargazer, peril and adversity
forging a bond between them as strong as tritanium.
But that bond is tested when a transporter mishap deposits a
mysterious visitor on the Stargazer -- a beautiful woman from another
universe who resembles Gerda and Idun as closely as they resemble each
other.
As Captain Jean-Luc Picard pits the Stargazer against a
savage alien species in a gallant attempt to send their visitor home,
Gerda comes to suspect the woman of treachery. But she has to wonder
-- is she following her Klingon instincts or succumbing to simple
jealousy?
Gerda needs to find out -- before Picard and his crew pay for their
generosity with their lives.
Michael Jan Friedman is the author of nearly sixty
books of fiction and nonfiction, more than half of which bear the name
Star Trek or some variation thereof. Ten of his titles have
appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. He has also
written for network and cable television, radio, and comic books, the
Star Trek: Voyager® episode "Resistance" prominent
among his credits. On those rare occasions when he visits the real
world, Friedman lives on Long Island with his wife and two sons.
He continues to advise readers that no matter how many Friedmans they
know, the vast probability is that none of them are related to him.
