Book description
On the cusp of their epic battle with Shinzon, many of Captain Jean-Luc
Picard's long-time crew were heading for new assignments and new
challenges. Among the changes were William Riker's promotion to captain
and his new command, Riker's marriage to Counselor Deanna Troi, and Dr.
Beverly Crusher's new career at Starfleet Medical. But the story of what
set them on a path away from the
Starship Enterprise
has never been told.
UNTIL NOW.
The site of one of the Dominion War's fiercest battles, the Rashanar
Sector now contains a vast interstellar graveyard littered with the
lifeless hulks of hundreds of devastated starships. The explosive
destruction of so many varied warp drives has severely distorted the
space-time continuum in this region, resulting in dangerous unleashed
energies and bizarre gravitational anomalies.
The Enterprise has been assigned to patrol the perimeter of
the danger zone, while other vessels carry out the difficult and
highly hazardous task of retrieving the bodies of the dead from the
wrecked warships.
To some alien races, the former battleground is hallowed space. To
others, including the rapacious Androssi, it is a scavenger's
paradise, ripe for salvage. None expect this ship's graveyard to hold
a deadly secret that will force the android Data to make a
heart-wrenching decision about the path his life will take -- and that
will endanger not only the Enterprise, but Picard's future in
Starfleet.
John Vornholt is the author of several bestsellling Star
Trek novels including two of the hugely successful four-volume Next
Generation/Deep Space Nine DOMINION WAR sequence. He lives in Tuscon,
Arizona.
