Book description
From Earth to the edge of our galaxy and beyond, from the early days of
warp flight to the latter half of the twenty-fourth century, humankind
and its alien partners in the Federation have looked to their heroes to
expand the limits of their knowledge. And as each generation's pantheon
of heroes has passed on into legend, a new generation has risen to take
its place.
So it was with the crew of the S. S. Valiant, the first Earth
vessel to cross the galactic barrier. So it was with the crew of the
Starship Stargazer and her fledgling commander, Captain Jean-Luc
Picard. And so it was with the U. S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D,
the flagship of Starfleet, which Picard commanded with wisdom and
temperate maturity.
Over the years, Fate has woven the voyages of these three vessels
into a vivid skein of treachery and sacrifice, hardship and
determination, tragedy and courage -- each step of the way
demonstrating the immeasurable worth of the flawed but farseeing
heroes who commanded them.
This eBook includes the novels, VALIANT and STARGAZER ONE.
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.
