    <book_description><![CDATA[What did Glenn do to make so many people want to kill him? Nothing, really. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.<br /><br />A tossed-off joke resulted in Glenn Hauman, one of the most prominent members of Crazy 8 Press (and certainly the tallest), becoming the target of nearly two dozen of the most demented names in science fiction:<br /><br />David Gerrold - David Mack - Joe Corallo - Robert Greenberger - Russ Colchamiro - Keith R.A. DeCandido - Dean Scott - Mary Fan - Kathleen O'Shea David - Setsu Uzumé - Lorraine J. Anderson - Hildy Silverman - Aaron Rosenberg - Blair Learn - Brett Hudgins - S. Brady Calhoun - Michael Jan Friedman - Amy Lewanski - Jenifer Purcell Rosenberg - Paul Kupperberg - Peter David<br /><br />Each of these authors set about to kill Glenn in their own inimitable fashion. Some went bloody. Some went metaphysical. Some went accidental. Some went very, very deliberate. Never has one person been killed by so many.<br /><br />So what are you waiting for? Start reading, and see which is your favorite in the end. Glenn's end, that is. And end . . . and end . . . and end . . .]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Fiction, Novelette<br /><br />David Mack’s Dark Arts series continues as the wizards of World War II become the sorcerers of the Cold War in the globe-spanning spy-thriller The Iron Codex—available now from Tor Books.<br /><br />In celebration of the book’s release, we’re thrilled to present “Hell Rode With Her,” which takes place during book one of the series. David Mack explains:<br /><br />“This novelette is a story arc that was excised from the first Dark Arts novel, The Midnight Front. It details events that befall Russian-born sorceress (aka “karcist”) Anja Kernova after she deserts from the Red Army in late 1943.<br /><br />This was in fact the first part of the Dark Arts series that I wrote, and Anja’s confrontation with her countrymen during the Great Patriotic War sets the stage for the series’ second book, The Iron Codex, in which Anja is the chief target of an international magickal arms race in 1954.”]]></book_description>

Left behind, intact but abandoned, their desolate worlds and derelict ships brim with destructive potential.<br /><br />Now a discovery by a Federation cultural research team has drawn the attention of several ruthless factions. From black market smugglers to alien military forces, it seems every belligerent power in the quadrant hopes to capture the Husnock's lethal technology.<br /><br />All that stands between the galaxy and those who have come to plunder the cruelest secrets of the Husnock are Admiral William Riker, Captain Christine Vale, and the crew of the <i>Starship Titan</i>.<br /><br />™, ®, &amp; © 2017 CBS Studios, Inc.

    <book_description><![CDATA[On the eve of World War Two, Nazi sorcerers come gunning for Cade but kill his family instead. His one path of vengeance is to become an apprentice of The Midnight Front—the Allies’ top-secret magickal warfare program—and become a sorcerer himself.<br /><br />Unsure who will kill him first—his allies, his enemies, or the demons he has to use to wield magick—Cade fights his way through occupied Europe and enemy lines. But he learns too late the true price of revenge will be more terrible than just the loss of his soul—and there’s no task harder than doing good with a power born of ultimate evil.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[IN THE MIRROR UNIVERSE . . . <br /><br />Miles “Smiley” O’Brien struggles to hold together his weary band of freedom fighters in their war against the overwhelming might of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. Each day pushes the rebels on Terok Nor one step closer to defeat, but with nowhere left to run, the time has come to make their last stand. <br /><br />Light-years away, Mac Calhoun and his Romulan allies harass Klingon forces with devious hit-and-run attacks. But Calhoun has a grander ambition: he intends to merge his fleet with the Terran Rebellion and lead it to victory—or die trying. <br /><br />Meanwhile, a bitter feud threatens to shatter the Alliance from within. The old rivalry between the Klingons and the Cardassians erupts into open warfare as each vies for the upper hand in their partnership. <br /><br />Manipulating events from its hidden redoubts, Memory Omega—the secret operation initiated by Spock a century earlier—sees its plans come to fruition sooner than expected. But striking early means risking everything—and if the revolution fails, Spock’s vision for the future will be lost forever.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>One man can shape the future...but at what cost?</b> <br /><br /><b>
  <i>"In every revolution, there is one man with a vision."</i>
</b> <br /><br /> Captain James T. Kirk of the United Federation of Planets spoke those prophetic words to Commander Spock of the Terran Empire, hoping to inspire change. He could not have imagined the impact his counsel would have. <br /><br /> Armed with a secret weapon of terrifying power and a vision of the alternate universe's noble Federation, Spock seizes control of the Terran Empire and commits it to the greatest gamble in its history: democratic reform. <br /><br /> Rivals within the empire try to stop him; enemies outside unite to destroy it. <br /><br /> Only a few people suspect the shocking truth: Spock is knowingly arranging his empire's downfall. But why? Have the burdens of imperial rule driven him mad? Or is this the coldly logical scheme of a man who realizes that freedom must always be paid for in blood? <br /><br /> Spock alone knows that the fall of the empire will be the catalyst for a political chain reaction -- one that will alter the fate of his universe forever.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>
  <i>18 exhilarating journeys into Rush-inspired worlds</i>
</b><br /><br />The music of Rush, one of the most successful bands in history, is filled with fantastic stories, evocative images, and thought-provoking futures and pasts. In this anthology, notable, bestselling, and award-winning writers each chose a Rush song as the spark for a new story, drawing inspiration from the visionary trio that is Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart.<br /><br />Enduring stark dystopian struggles or testing the limits of the human spirit, the characters populating <i>2113</i> find strength while searching for hope in a world that is repressive, dangerous, or just debilitatingly bland. Most of these tales are science fiction, but some are fantasies, thrillers, even edgy mainstream. Many of Rush’s big hits are represented, as well as deeper cuts . . . with wonderful results. This anthology also includes the seminal stories that inspired the Rush classics “Red Barchetta” and “Roll the Bones,” as well as Kevin J. Anderson’s novella sequel to the groundbreaking Rush album <i>2112</i>.<br /><br /><i>2113</i> contains stories by <i>New York Times</i> bestselling authors Kevin J. Anderson, Michael Z. Williamson, David Mack, David Farland, Dayton Ward, and Mercedes Lackey; award winners Fritz Leiber, Steven Savile, Brad R. Torgersen, Ron Collins, David Niall Wilson, and Brian Hodge, as well as many other authors with imaginations on fire.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[An historian who speaks with the dead is ensnared by the past. A child who feels no pain and who should not exist sees the future. Between them are truths that will shake worlds.<br /><br />In a distant future, no remnants of human beings remain, but their successors thrive throughout the galaxy. These are the offspring of humanity's genius-animals uplifted into walking, talking, sentient beings. The Fant are one such species: anthropomorphic elephants ostracized by other races, and long ago exiled to the rainy ghetto world of Barsk. There, they develop medicines upon which all species now depend. The most coveted of these drugs is koph, which allows a small number of users to interact with the recently deceased and learn their secrets.<br /><br />To break the Fant's control of koph, an offworld shadow group attempts to force the Fant to surrender their knowledge. Jorl, a Fant Speaker with the dead, is compelled to question his deceased best friend, who years ago mysteriously committed suicide. In so doing, Jorl unearths a secret the powers-that-be would prefer to keep buried forever. Meanwhile, his dead friend's son, a physically challenged young Fant named Pizlo, is driven by disturbing visions to take his first unsteady steps toward an uncertain future.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Tomorrow, on the beach, Baru Cormorant will look up from the sand of her home and see red sails on the horizon.<br /><br />The Empire of Masks is coming, armed with coin and ink, doctrine and compass, soap and lies. They'll conquer Baru's island, rewrite her culture, criminalize her customs, and dispose of one of her fathers. But Baru is patient. She'll swallow her hate, prove her talent, and join the Masquerade. She will learn the secrets of empire. She'll be exactly what they need. And she'll claw her way high enough up the rungs of power to set her people free.<br /> <br />In a final test of her loyalty, the Masquerade will send Baru to bring order to distant Aurdwynn, a snakepit of rebels, informants, and seditious dukes. Aurdwynn kills everyone who tries to rule it. To survive, Baru will need to untangle this land's intricate web of treachery - and conceal her attraction to the dangerously fascinating Duchess Tain Hu.<br /> <br />But Baru is a savant in games of power, as ruthless in her tactics as she is fixated on her goals. In the calculus of her schemes, all ledgers must be balanced, and the price of liberation paid in full.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[They were created to be killing machines. Highly intelligent, resourceful, and deceptively complex, the Jem'Hadar are a species engineered for war and programmed at the genetic level for one purpose: to fight until death as soldiers of the sprawling stellar empire known as the Dominion. No Jem'Hadar has ever lived thirty years, and not even their masters, the shape-shifting Founders, know what such a creature is capable of becoming were it to be freed of its servitude. <br /><br /> One Founder, however, has dared to wonder. <br /><br /> Appointed by Odo himself to learn peaceful coexistence aboard <i>Deep Space 9</i> ™, Taran'atar, an Honored Elder among the Jem'Hadar, had for months been a staunch, if conflicted, ally to the crew of the station, ever struggling to understand the mission on which he was sent . . . until something went horrifically wrong. <br /><br /> Consumed by self-doubt and an ever-growing rage, Taran'atar has lashed out against those he was sworn to aid. While Captain Kira Nerys and Lieutenant Ro Laren both lie near death aboard DS9, their assailant has taken a hostage and fled into Cardassian space, pursued by Commander Elias Vaughn on the <i>U.S.S. Defiant</i>. But as the hunt unfolds, Taran'atar's true objective becomes increasingly less certain, as the rogue Jem'Hadar leads the <i>Defiant</i> to a discovery even more shocking than his crime.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The soldiers of Armageddon are on the march, laying waste to worlds in their passage. An audacious plan could stop them forever, but it carries risks that one starship captain is unwilling to take. For Captain Jean-Luc Picard, defending the future has never been so important, or so personal -- and the wrong choice will cost him everything for which he has struggled and suffered. <br /><br /> For Captain William Riker, that choice has already been made. Haunted by the memories of those he was forced to leave behind, he must jeopardize all that he has left in a desperate bid to save the Federation. <br /><br /> For Captain Ezri Dax, whose impetuous youth is balanced by the wisdom of many lifetimes, the choice is a simple one: there is no going back -- only forward to whatever future awaits them. <br /><br /> But for those who, millennia ago, had no choice...this is the hour of their final, inescapable destiny.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Lange glaubten die Nalori, das shii sei nur ein Mythos. Doch nun stellt sich zu ihrer aller Schrecken heraus: Das Monster existiert wirklich! Die Kreatur – offenbar unverwundbar, fraglos stärker als gedacht und ganz und gar unbarmherzig – hat im Erzabbauprojekt auf dem Kristallplaneten Sarindar eine Schneise der Vernichtung hinterlassen. Die Leiterin des Projekts, Commander Sonya Gomez, muss die tödliche Kreatur aufhalten, damit sie nicht noch weitere Leben fordert und damit die Existenz des Erzförderprogramms in Frage stellt …<br />Der aufregende zweite Teil des packenden zweiteiligen Abenteuers!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Commander Sonya Gomez vom Sternenflotteningenieurkorps soll ein Projekt auf dem Kristallplaneten Sarindar überwachen und den verschlossenen und feindlichen Nalori helfen, ein wertvolles neues Erz zu fördern. Doch die Stimmung in der Forschungsgruppe ist nicht besonders gut und das Projekt ist im Zeitverzug. Gomez muss die Arbeiter davon überzeugen, im Zeitplan zu bleiben – und die Nalori-Arbeiter sind nicht gewillt, ihr diese Aufgabe leichter zu machen. Denn keiner will mit Gomez zusammenarbeiten, auch wenn die Nalori-Regierung das ganz anders sieht.<br />Gerade als Sonya Gomez sich ein wenig Vertrauen erkämpft hat, werden zwei Arbeiter von einer mysteriösen Bestie namens shii getötet. Gomez muss das Geheimnis des shiis lüften, bevor es wieder tötet …<br />Der erste Teil eines packenden zweiteiligen Abenteuers!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Long ago, poets were Seers with access to powerful magic. Following a cataclysmic battle, the enchantments of Eivar were lost–now a song is only words and music, and no more. But when a dark power threatens the land, poets who thought only to gain fame for their songs face a task much greater: to restore the lost enchantments to the world. And the road to the Otherworld, where the enchantments reside, will imperil their lives and test the deepest desires of their hearts.]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[This summer, I had the privilege of reading an uncorrected advance proof of <i>Last Song Before Night</i>, the debut fantasy novel by Ilana C. Myer.<br /><br />(<b>Full disclosure:</b> Ilana and I have been friends for several years, and she and I are both writing novels for the same editor at Tor Books. That said, please note that I almost never review works by my friends. I am doing so in this case of my own volition; my review was not solicited. I have been offered nothing in exchange for this review, nor have I asked for anything. Furthermore, I have no financial or creative stake in this novel.)<br /><br /><i>Last Song</i> is a fantasy adventure about artists struggling against oppression, and it’s a tale of a once-great society poisoned by corruption and censorship run amok. Its theme is one that never goes out of style: the need to fight back against authoritarianism in all its forms, to sing truth to power and hold one’s government accountable to the people. Its narrative is propelled by the mystery behind a series of grisly murders in the glittering, jasmine-scented, romantically Mediterranean-style capital city of Tamryllin, but its most compelling element is its vividly drawn characters:<br /><br /><b>Kimbralin “Lin” Amaristoth</b>, a highborn woman plagued by a cruel brother who refuses to let her escape his tyrannical control, is a musician and lyricist of uncommon ability in a culture where women are barred (by custom if not by law) from the noble calling of the poets. Her partner-in-song, a poet named <b>Leander Keyen</b>, knows next to nothing of her past.<br /><br /><b>Darien Aldemoor</b> and <b>Marlen Humbreleigh</b> are esteemed, nobly born poets, graduates of the revered Academy, and best friends. Unfortunately, ambition and temptation threaten to pit these two boon companions against each other in a bitter rivalry.<br /><br /><b>Rianna Gelvan</b>, the daughter of a wealthy and powerful merchant, is betrothed to the nebbishy but well-meaning (and utterly smitten) young nobleman <b>Ned Alterra</b>, who is unaware that Rianna has fallen for the poet Darien.<br /><br />Rounding out the ensemble are the treacherous court poet, <b>Nickon Gerrard</b>; his old rival, the venerable but mysterious seer-poet <b>Valanir Ocune</b>, recently returned from a decades-long journey through distant exotic lands; <b>Rayen Amaristoth</b>, Lin’s complexly vicious older brother; <b>Marilla</b>, a woman who excels at manipulating men and extracting secrets, and for whom pain and pleasure are intertwined; and troupes of troubadors, legions of political power players, and a host of common folk, every one of whom feels as fully realized as Myer’s main cast.<br /><br />Murders and betrayals force our characters onto a perilous journey, one that entails unraveling centuries-old mysteries and unearthing the lost secrets of magic that once informed the music of the poets, a power that was stripped from them by a paranoid and power-hungry political class. At the same time, a deadly plague known as the Red Death—an affliction whose origins are linked to the practice of forbidden “blood magic”—has many people of Eivar fearing for their lives and turning against the poets who represent the only hope for their salvation.<br /><br />One of the richest pleasures of <i>Last Song</i> is seeing how Myer subverts readers’ expectations of the epic fantasy genre. It evinces all the hallmarks of a typical quest tale—then it becomes something deeper, more intimate, and ultimately unflinching in its examination of its characters’ ugliest qualities and darkest secrets.<br /><br />Plotwise, this book shines. Its pacing is excellent; every scene crackles with conflict and urgency, pushing the story and its <i>dramatis personae</i> deeper into peril with every page. Myer does a fine job of foreshadowing, and of setting up pieces early to be knocked down later when the reader least expects it. She also displays a deft touch for nonlinear narrative, moving the reader forward and backward within her tale with grace and skill, so that one is never confused as to the true sequence of events.<br /><br />The dramatic choices Myer makes concerning her characters’ private lives and tragic backstories are impressive for how fearlessly she depicts them. Where a less confident author might have pulled punches or softened the rough edges of the characters’ lives, Myer plumbs them for their maximum dramatic value. In particular, the exquisite details of Marilla’s relationships, and Kimbralin’s motivations for fleeing her old life, are brilliant in their ruthless honesty.<br /><br />Pulling all of these elements together is Myer’s lush, lyrical prose. On nearly every page of this book I found sentences to make my reader’s heart swoon and my writer’s ego quail in admiration. Allow me to present a few of my favorite lines, excerpted for your pleasure:<br /><br /><blockquote>“It was while occupied with this particular thought, this melancholy satisfaction, that Dane heard a new strain of music break the silence. But this was not music such as he had ever heard before. Dissonant, it ripped across the night. Across his soul. And then blackness before his eyes, and then nothing at all.”<br /><br />* * *<br /><br /> “Jasmine and honeysuckle twined in starry abundance on walls that sealed the mansions of Tamryllin from the streets.”<br /><br />* * *<br /><br /> “Roses greeted them in a profusion that appeared white by moonlight, islands in a dark sea of thorns and leaves. … Stone benches were scattered under the trees with deliberate artlessness.”<br /><br />* * *<br /><br /> “Valanir, eyes alight, had begun to speak.<br /><br /> ‘It is good to be home.’ Each word, shaped with the precision of a rock carving, falling into breathless silence.”<br /><br />* * *<br /><br /> “He was still in the old district, where ancient marble gave art to each slope, every winding passageway and soaring arch.”</blockquote><br /><br />The lines above are all from the first half of the book; there are many more of equal or greater beauty, subtlety, and power throughout the novel. Individual lines divorced from context fail to convey the flowing precision of Myer’s prose, which is imbued with the kind of lasting music to which her story’s poets aspire.<br /><br /><i>Last Song</i> is an elegantly executed, masterfully conceived tale filled with memorable characters—some base, some noble, all steeped in real human complexity and eminently plausible in their motivations and actions. The wider world of Myer’s fantasy milieu, the lands beyond Eivar, are only hinted at in this first book, which gives the future volumes of this trilogy-to-be room in which to grow and explore new octaves of Myer’s opus.<br /><br />If you love fantasy novels, I recommend you get yourself a copy of Ilana C. Myer’s debut, <i>Last Song Before Night</i>, at your earliest opportunity. It’s one of the most impressive debut novels I’ve ever read; I am in awe of what Myer has accomplished here.<br /><br />The book’s official publication date is Tuesday, September 29, 2015. Let me humbly encourage you to pre-order a copy in hardcover or eBook format today.<br /><br /><blockquote><b>David Mack</b> is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of nearly 30 novels of science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. He is currently writing the <i>Dark Arts</i> trilogy for Tor Books; its first volume, <i>The Midnight Front</i>, is tentatively scheduled for publication in the first quarter of 2017.</blockquote>]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The omnibus edition of an epic crossover trilogy uniting characters from every corner of the Star Trek universe, and revealing the shocking origin and final fate of the Federation's most dangerous enemy--the Borg.<br /><br /><b>DESTINY #1: GODS OF NIGHT</b><br />THE BORG RETURN—WITH A VENGEANCE.<br /><br />Blitzkrieg attacks by the Borg leave entire worlds aflame. No one knows how they are slipping past Starfleet’s defenses, so Captain Picard and the crew of the Enterprise have to find out—and put a stop to it.<br /><br />Thousands of light-years away, Captain Riker and the crew of the Titan follow bizarre energy pulses to a mysterious, hidden world. But what they find there is a figure out of history: a Starfleet captain long thought dead.<br /><br />At the same time, in the Gamma Quadrant, a new captain and her crew investigate the wreck of the Earth starship Columbia NX-02, missing in action for more than two centuries.<br /><br />Four starships. Four captains. Four lives about to intersect—and discover their shared Destiny.<br /><br /><b>DESTINY #2: MERE MORTALS</b><br />IT’S A CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS.<br /><br />The Borg have found a secret passage through subspace and are using it to attack the Federation. But the passage is one of many that the Enterprise crew finds inside a nebula, and Captain Picard and Captain Dax must find the right one—and lead a counterstrike to stop the impending Borg invasion.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Captain Riker and the Titan’s crew are held captive by the reclusive and powerful aliens known as the Caeliar. The Titan’s freedom hinges on the action of fellow prisoner Erika Hernandez, commander of the long-lost Earth starship Columbia.<br /><br />Hernandez has lived among the Caeliar for centuries—enduring disasters, accidental time-travel, and interstellar exile. After so long as their prisoner, will she dare to fight for her freedom? Or is an eternity in captivity her inescapable Destiny?<br /><br /><b>DESTINY #3: LOST SOULS</b><br />THE FINAL BATTLE HAS BEGUN.<br /><br />An armada of several thousand Borg cubes has wiped out a fleet of ships sent by the Federation and its allies. The Collective’s goal this time isn’t assimilation—it’s extermination.<br /><br />Captain Picard, Captain Riker, and Captain Ezri Dax unite in a final desperate bid to halt the Borg’s genocidal march through known space. But their three starships—the Enterprise, the Titan, and the Aventine—are no match for the Borg armada. Or are they?<br /><br />With them is Erika Hernandez, former captain of the Columbia. She has powers and insight gained from centuries of living with the aliens known as the Caeliar. She can end the Borg threat forever—or transform it into an unstoppable menace that will devour the galaxy.<br /><br />Destruction or salvation—only one can be her final Destiny.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[An original novel based on the thrilling new Star Trek movies!<br /><br />Captain James T. Kirk and the Enterprise crew escort Spock’s father, Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan, to a dilithium-rich planet called Akiron. They arrive to find the planet under siege by creatures that some of the planet’s denizens believe are demons.<br /><br />Sarek orders Kirk to abandon the mission, but the young captain won’t turn his back on people in danger. After a harrowing encounter with the dark-energy “demons,” Kirk’s belief in a rational universe is challenged by a mystic who insists that it wasn’t coincidence which brought Kirk to Akiron, but the alien equivalent of a Karmic debt.<br /><br />Meanwhile, aboard the Enterprise, Sarek’s young Vulcan aide L’Nel has a sinister agenda—and its chief objective appears to be the cold-blooded murder of Spock!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[STARFLEET CORPS OF ENGINEERS Their motto: Have tech, will travel Follows a rapid-response team of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers: this group solves engineering problems in space that are too complicated, or take too much time, for a larger starship crew to handle. The action centers on the lower-decks crew of the USS da Vinci, a Saber-class ship that serves as the transportation of an SCE team. The SCE reports to Captain Montgomery Scott, who serves as their liaison with Starfleet Command and also pitches in when his vast store of knowledge can be of help.<br />2]Anthology series, Book 2. Further adventures of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. Take it apart, figure it out, put it back together. That's the ongoing mission of the U.S.S. da Vinci, commanded by Captain David Gold and his first officer, Commander Sonya Gomez, late of the Starship Enterprise™ and one of Starfleet's top engineers. They oversee a crack S.C.E. team that can construct six impossible things before breakfast, composed of specialists in such diverse fields as tactical systems, alien cultures, computers, linguistics, and cryptography. Together they're ready to cope with just about every kind of high-tech challenge imaginable-and a few that nobody could have imagined. Need to build a subspace accelerator while under attack by a deadly local predator? Need to rescue a starship from interphase without getting trapped there yourself? Call in the S.C.E. crew, who put their lives on the line to rescue a space station from catastrophe, and face off against a deadly alien race of technology thieves with the aid of Lieutenant Nog from Space Station Deep Space 9 ™.<br />Contents;<br /> Interphase, Book Two [Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers • 5] / novella by Kevin Dilmore and Dayton Ward<br /> Cold Fusion [Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers • 6] / novella by Keith R.

    <book_description><![CDATA[<br />The <i>U.S.S. da Vinci's</i> mission to salvage the <i>U.S.S. Orion</i> and the deadly Wildfire warhead has gone horribly wrong. Captain Gold and Security Chief Corsi are gravely injured, and the <i>da Vinci</i> is literally coming apart at the seams as it drifts further and further into the deadly atmosphere of a gas giant. Worse, the Wildfire device is armed and loose in the turbulent atmosphere, threatening destruction on a planetary scale. <p> Commander Sonya Gomez and what's left of her S.C.E. team must use all their skills to survive, complete the mission, and learn the deadly secret of the strange alien lights that will be either their salvation -- or their destruction!<br /></p>]]></book_description>

As if the turbulent atmosphere of the planet wasn't enough, the <i>Orion</i> is carrying the prototype of the deadly Wildfire device -- a protomatter warhead that can ignite gas giants into stars. <p> But the operation may be more than even Capt. David Gold's crack team of engineers can handle, as they have to fight against the liquid atmosphere of the planet, the volatility of the Wildfire warhead -- and a strange alien life-form that may be responsible for the attack on the <i>Orion!</i></p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Whenever there's a need to fix, repair, or salvage, Starfleet calls in the crack S.C.E. team on the U.S.S. da Vinci. Under the command of Captain David Gold and Commander Sonya Gomez, the S.C.E. solves the unsolvable, from finding a Starfleet vessel lost inside a holographic ship to doping new technology captured during the Dominion War.However, the da Vinci's mission to Galvan VI will prove to be the S.C.E.'s greatest challenge to date, as they must salvage the U.S.S. Orion from the turbulent atmosphere of a gas giant. As if that wasn't enough, the Orion is carrying the deadly Wildfire device – a protomatter warhead that can ignite gas giants into stars – and the planet seems to be home to a strange alien life-form that may have been responsible for the Orion's destruction.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b><br /> Corps of Engineers <br /></b> <br /> These are the voyages of the <i>U.S.S. da Vinci</i>. Their mission: to solve the problems of the galaxy, one disaster at a time. Starfleet veteran Captain David Gold, along with his crack Starfleet Corps of Engineers team lead by former <i>Starship Enterprise (TM)</i> engineer Commander Sonya Gomez, travel throughout the Federation and beyond to fix the unfixable, repair the irreparable, and solve the unsolvable. <br /> Whether it's an artificial planetary ring that was damaged during the Dominion War, an out-of-control generation ship, a weapons inspection gone horribly wrong, shutting down a crashed probe, solving a centuries-old medical mystery, or clearing a sargasso sea of derelict ships, the S.C.E. is on the case! <br /> But the problems they face aren't just technical; Tev must confront the demons of his past, Lense must confront the demons of her present, Gold faces a crisis of leadership on his own ship, and Gomez must lead an away team into the middle of a brutal ground war. Plus the <i>da Vinci</i> crew must find a way to work with their Klingon counterparts in a deadly rescue mission.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[When a cultural observation probe malfunctions and crash-lands on a pre-warp world, the S.C.E. is sent in to destroy it before the technology falls into the hands of a civilization not prepared for it. Unfortunately, when Commander Gomez and her team arrive, they find that the device has already been captured by terrorist forces who intend to reverse-engineer the technology into a weapon that will change the balance of power on their world to deadly effect! Now it's a race against time for the S.C.E. to find and destroy the probe before it's too late!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Whenever there's a need to fix, repair, or salvage, Starfleet calls in the crack S.C.E. team on the U.S.S. da Vinci. Under the command of Captain David Gold and Commander Sonya Gomez, the S.C.E. solves the unsolvable, from finding a Starfleet vessel lost inside a holographic ship to doping out new technology captured during the Dominion War. <p> However, the da Vinci's mission to Galvan VI will prove to be the S.C.E.'s greatest challenge to date, as they must salvage the U.S.S. Orion from the turbulent atmosphere of a gas giant. As if that wasn't enough, the Orion is carrying the prototype of the deadly Wildfire device -- a protomatter warhead that can ignite gas giants into stars -- and the planet seems to be home to a strange alien life-form that may have been responsible for the Orion 's destruction! </p><p> <i>Wildfire</i> contains the complete eBook editions of S.C.E. adventures #20-24: <i>Enigma Ship, War Stories Book 1, War Stories Book 2, Wildfire Book 1,</i> and <i>Wildfire Book 2.</i></p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[He has a past shrouded in mystery. A skeleton sheathed in indestructible metal. Unbreakable claws that can cut through almost anything. And a "mutant healing factor" that can mend virtually any wound. His friends call him Logan. The X-Men call him Wolverine . While visiting Japan, Logan is recruited to recover a stolen experimental drug, one that has the potential to be a true miracle cure for all human disease -- or a sadistic means of enslaving the world. With every hour bringing mankind closer to tragedy, Logan embarks on a daring mission to identify the thieves and thwart their terrifying agenda. From the back alleys of Tokyo to the smugglers' coves of Brazil, from the opulent palaces of St. Petersburg to the war-torn villages of Africa, Logan's quest takes him from one deadly setting to the next. But his desperate last stand will test the limits of his abilities -- and his courage -- like never before.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[They were created to be killing machines. Highly intelligent, resourceful, and deceptively complex, the Jem'Hadar are a species engineered for war and programmed at the genetic level for one purpose: to fight until death as soldiers of the sprawling stellar empire known as the Dominion. No Jem'Hadar has ever lived thirty years, and not even their masters, the shape-shifting Founders, know what such a creature is capable of becoming were it to be freed of its servitude. <p> One Founder, however, has dared to wonder. </p><p> Appointed by Odo himself to learn peaceful coexistence aboard <i>Deep Space 9</i> â„¢, Taran'atar, an Honored Elder among the Jem'Hadar, had for months been a staunch, if conflicted, ally to the crew of the station, ever struggling to understand the mission on which he was sent . . . until something went horrifically wrong. </p><p> Consumed by self-doubt and an ever-growing rage, Taran'atar has lashed out against those he was sworn to aid. While Captain Kira Nerys and Lieutenant Ro Laren both lie near death aboard DS9, their assailant has taken a hostage and fled into Cardassian space, pursued by Commander Elias Vaughn on the <i>U.S.S. Defiant</i>. But as the hunt unfolds, Taran'atar's true objective becomes increasingly less certain, as the rogue Jem'Hadar leads the <i>Defiant</i> to a discovery even more shocking than his crime.</p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The mystery of the Taurus Reach is about to be revealed.Ancient secrets lie on the fourth planet of the Jinoteur system, and three great rivals are fighting to control it. The Federation and the Klingon Empire want to wield its power; the Tholian Assembly wants to bury it.<br /><br />But the threat stirring on that distant world is more dangerous than they realize. The Shedai, who ruled the Taurus Reach aeons ago, have risen from their ages of deathlike slumber -- to gather, marshal their strength, and take their revenge.<br /><br />To keep Jinoteur from falling into enemy hands, the crews of Starbase Vanguard and the "U.S.S. Sagittarius" must risk everything: friends...loved ones...their own lives. But the sacrifices they make may prove too terrible for them to bear.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A compendium containing three full novels set set in the mirror Universe.. <br /><br /><i>There are moments glimpsed only in shadow, <br />     where darkness rules and evil incarnate thrives. <br />You hope against hope that in your lifetime, <br />     evil is relegated to the shadows. <br />              <b> But what if it wasn't? </b> <br />What if you lived in a universe where your life was measured only <br />     by what you could do for the Empire? <br /><b>     What would you do to survive? <br />     Would you sell your soul to free yourself? <br />     If you were offered the chance to rule, would you seize it? <br />     If you could free your universe from the darkness but only <br />          at the cost of your life, <u>would you pay that price</u>?</b></i><br /><br /><br /><u>
  <b>Age of the Empress</b>
</u> (<i>Star Trek: Enterprise</i>) <br />          <i>Set in 2155. The story follows on directly from the end of <u>In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II</u>.</i><br />              She seized power in a heartbeat, daring to place herself against all the overlords of the Empire. Empress Hoshi Sato knows the future that <i>could</i> be; now all she has to do is make sure it never happens. For her to rule, she must hold sway not only over the starship from the future but also over her warlords, the resistance, and her Andorian husband. As quickly and brutally as Hoshi seized power, imperial rule is taken from her. Her only chance to rule again is to ally herself with a lifelong foe, and an alien.<br /><br /><u>
  <b>The Sorrows Of Empire</b>
</u> (<i>Star Trek: The Original Series</i>) <br />          <i>Set in 2267-2295</i><br />              One man can change the future, but does he dare? Spock, intrigued by the vision of another universe's Federation, does what no Vulcan, no emperor, has ever done: seize power in one blinding stroke of mass murder. And at the same instant he gains imperial power, Spock sows the seeds for the Empire's downfall. Is this a form of Vulcan madness, or is it the coolly logical plan of a man who knows the price his universe must pay for its freedom?<br /><br /><u>
  <b>Sdlrow Htob Fo Tsrow Eht (The Worst of Both Worlds)</b>
</u> <br />          (<i>Star Trek: The Next Generation</i>) <i>Set in September, 2371</i><br />              Humanity is a pitiful collection of enslaved, indentured, and abused peoples. No one dares to question the order, except at peril of their lives. One man survives by blinding himself to the misery around him. However, Jean-Luc Picard resists, just once. And in that one instant he unlocks a horror beyond the tyranny of the Alliance. Can a man so beaten down by a lifetime of oppression stop the destruction?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[These are the voyages of the <i>U.S.S. da Vinci</i>. Their mission: to solve the problems of the galaxy, one disaster at a time. Starfleet veteran Captain David Gold, along with his crack Starfleet Corps of Engineers team lead by former Starship Enterprise ™ engineer Commander Sonya Gomez, travel throughout the Federation and beyond to fix the unfixable, repair the irreparable, and solve the unsolvable. <br /> <br /> Whether it's an artificial planetary ring that was damaged during the Dominion War, an out-of-control generation ship, a weapons inspection gone horribly wrong, shutting down a crashed probe, solving a centuries-old medical mystery, or clearing a sargasso sea of derelict ships, the S.C.E. is on the case! <br /> <br /> But the problems they face aren't just technical; Tev must confront the demons of his past, Lense must confront the demons of her present, Gold faces a crisis of leadership on his own ship, and Gomez must lead an away team into the middle of a brutal ground war. Plus the <i>da Vinci</i> crew must find a way to work with their Klingon counterparts in a deadly rescue mission. <br /> <br /> Grand Designs contains the complete eBook editions of S.C.E. adventures #37-42 <i>Ring Around the Sky</i>, <i>Orphans</i>, <i>Grand Designs</i>, <i>Failsafe</i>, <i>Bitter Medicine</i>, and <i>Sargasso Sector</i>, all previously released separately.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Fractured history. Broken lives. Splintered souls. Since the alternate universe was first glimpsed in the classic episode "Mirror, Mirror," something about Star Trek's dark side has beckoned us, called to us, tempted us -- like forbidden fruit on the Tree of Knowledge. To taste it is to lose oneself in a world of startling familiarity and terrifying contradictions, where everything and everyone we knew is somehow disturbingly different, and where shocking secrets await their revelation. <p> What began in 2007 with Glass Empires and Obsidian Alliances -- the first truly in-depth foray into the turbulent history of this other continuum -- now continues in twelve new short tales that revisit and expand upon that so-called "Mirror Universe," spanning all five of the core incarnations of Star Trek, as well as their literary offshoots, across more than two hundred years of divergent history, as chronicled by... </p><p> Christopher L. Bennett - Margaret Wander Bonanno - Peter David - Keith R.A. DeCandido - Michael Jan Friedman - Jim Johnson - Rudy Josephs - David Mack - Dave Stern - James Swallow - Dayton Ward &amp; Kevin Dilmore - Susan Wright</p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[An exceptional memoir about one man's truly inspirational outlook on living, no matter the odds. Before you dig into this book, there are a few things I think you should know. First, I was a soldier, and I still talk like one-in other words, I swear. So, if bad words bother you, just squint and pretend you don't see them. I want you to know this book is not about the war in Iraq, and I'm not pushing a political agenda. Even though I'm going to tell you about the day I was wounded and what I went through during rehab, this book's not just some war memoir or a pity party. I just want to share some of my stories with you. This book is not about being wounded. It's not about struggling. This book is about living. It's about life. In this inspiring memoir, Bryan shares his infectious love for life that touches anyone who's faced hardship. No Turning Back is a testament to pure hard work, perseverance, and hope for a better life- no matter what shape it takes.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Some of the best and biggest names in science fiction have lent their talent to Silence in the Library for this collection of genre stories, all featuring some of the coolest and most complex female characters. <br /> <br />From a woman trapped in a robotic suit in a grim Australian future to a magick-wielding Russian soldier on the run from her own side, Apollo’s Daughters is a concentrated dose of exactly the kinds of stories you’re looking for. <br /> <br />This collection was created as a companion to Silence in the Library’s Athena’s Daughters, and, as a bonus, contains “Disarray,” the last novella by New York Times Bestseller Aaron Allston. <br /> <br />This anthology is edited by Bryan Young and features illustrations by Elias Pate, Tim Odland, and Mark Dos Santos.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[These are the voyages of the <i>U.S.S. da Vinci</i>. Their mission: to solve the problems of the galaxy, one disaster at a time. Starfleet veteran Captain David Gold, along with his crack Starfleet Corps of Engineers team led by former <i>Starship Enterprise</i>™ engineer Commander Sonya Gomez, travel throughout the Federation and beyond to fix the unfixable, repair the irreparable, and solve the unsolvable. <p> The S.C.E.'s missions don't always go as planned -- repairing the weather grid on the resort planet Risa turns into a deadly first contact, constructing an industrial complex on a nonaligned world leads to some startling revelations about the financier behind it, diverting a runaway ship could spell death for the crew the <i>da Vinci</i> didn't even know was there, and a planet in a box proves a more valuable prize than anyone could have imagined -- but their greatest challenge comes much closer to home... </p><p> Captain Gold's granddaughter Esther is marrying Khor, son of Lantar, a Klingon politician. Now Gold faces what may be the greatest challenge of his career: officiating the first-ever Klingon-Jewish wedding!</p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>HEAR THE CALLING.</b><p>No one would guess by looking at Tom Nash that he's extraordinary, and that's just fine with him. A tall, broad-shouldered jack-of-all-trades from Sawyer, Pennsylvania, Tom has a knack for fixing things. He also hides a secret talent: he hears people's prayers. Stranger still, <i>he answers them</i>. Maybe it's because he's a handyman, but Tom feels compelled to fix people's problems. Which is all well and good -- until the soul-shattering plea of a terrified girl sends him on the darkest journey of his life....</p><p>
  <b>SEEK THE TRUTH.</b>
</p><p>Heeding the call and leaving his home for New York City, Tom discovers a secret world beyond the range of mortal perception -- a world of angels and demons and those who serve them. With the guidance of a knowing stranger named Erin, Tom learns that he himself is one of The Called, born with a divine purpose and a daunting task: to help the powers of Heaven in the war against the agents of Hell, an army of fallen angels known as the Scorned. Thrust into an epic battle of the sacred and the profane, Tom Nash must find the girl who prayed for his help -- because her fate will determine whether humanity deserves to be saved, or damned for all eternity....</p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<blockquote> 4400 taken, 4400 returned. All were given startling new abilities. Now, if you are willing to risk it all, you too can be extraordinary. Is this what the future intended to ensure the survival of the human race? </blockquote> Promicin -- which kills half of those who dare to inject it and grants paranormal abilities to those who survive -- is spreading across the globe and threatening to plunge the entire world into chaos.<br /><br />One year has passed since Jordan Collier and his followers seized control of Seattle and renamed it Promise City. U.S. armed forces have surrounded Seattle, and each day brings Collier and his Promicin-Positive Movement closer to all-out war with the world's greatest military superpower.<br /><br />However, the real threats are the Marked -- agents from the future whose identities are encoded into body-hijacking nanites. They were sent back to thwart the efforts of the 4400. The last three surviving Marked lurk in the shadows, working in secret as they prepare to deliver a deathblow to the planet.<br /><br />Caught in the crossfire are NTAC agents Tom Baldwin and Diana Skouris. His son, Kyle, and her thirteen-year-old adopted daughter, Maia, are both more loyal to Jordan's movement than to them. And when the standoff between Collier and the U.S. military explodes into open conflict, Tom, Diana, and fellow agents wind up outnumbered and outgunned.<br /><br />In the end, the fate of all mankind will rest in the hands of one man: Tom Baldwin.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>One man can shape the future...but at what cost?</b><br /><br /><b>
  <i>"In every revolution, there is one man with a vision."</i>
</b><br /><br />Captain James T. Kirk of the United Federation of Planets spoke those prophetic words to Commander Spock of the Terran Empire, hoping to inspire change. He could not have imagined the impact his counsel would have.<br /><br />Armed with a secret weapon of terrifying power and a vision of the alternate universe's noble Federation, Spock seizes control of the Terran Empire and commits it to the greatest gamble in its history: democratic reform.<br /><br />Rivals within the empire try to stop him; enemies outside unite to destroy it.<br /><br />Only a few people suspect the shocking truth: Spock is knowingly arranging his empire's downfall. But why? Have the burdens of imperial rule driven him mad? Or is this the coldly logical scheme of a man who realizes that freedom must always be paid for in blood?<br /><br />Spock alone knows that the fall of the empire will be the catalyst for a political chain reaction -- one that will alter the fate of his universe forever.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[IN THE MIRROR UNIVERSE . . . <br /><br />Miles &amp;#8220;Smiley&amp;#8221; O&amp;#8217;Brien struggles to hold together his weary band of freedom fighters in their war against the overwhelming might of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. Each day pushes the rebels on Terok Nor one step closer to defeat, but with nowhere left to run, the time has come to make their last stand. <br /><br />Light-years away, Mac Calhoun and his Romulan allies harass Klingon forces with devious hit-and-run attacks. But Calhoun has a grander ambition: he intends to merge his fleet with the Terran Rebellion and lead it to victory&amp;#8212;or die trying. <br /><br />Meanwhile, a bitter feud threatens to shatter the Alliance from within. The old rivalry between the Klingons and the Cardassians erupts into open warfare as each vies for the upper hand in their partnership. <br /><br />Manipulating events from its hidden redoubts, Memory Omega&amp;#8212;the secret operation initiated by Spock a century earlier&amp;#8212;sees its plans come to fruition sooner than expected. But striking early means risking everything&amp;#8212;and if the revolution fails, Spock&amp;#8217;s vision for the future will be lost forever.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The first in the Star Trek: Seekers series, building up on the story of the Vanguard series.<br /><br /> The Taurus Reach. Once the conquered realm of a powerful alien species, this region remains largely shrouded in mystery even as it brims with potential for exploration and colonization. The Federation has sent in two of its finest starships on a quest to uncover the secrets it may yet hold... <br /><br /> The Tomol are a primitive civilization occupying a lone island on a remote world. Their culture is an enigma, centered on every member's commitment to a painful, fiery self-sacrifice upon reaching maturity. But one of their clan has shunned this obligation, triggering a transformation into a new, powerful life form. Answering the distress call of the USS Sagittarius–which has crashed on the planet following a fierce battle with the Klingons–Captain Atish Khatami and the crew of the Starship Endeavour must now attempt a rescue mission... even as they are locked in battle with the evolving, increasingly malevolent Tomol who, if allowed to escape their home world, pose an imminent threat to the entire galaxy!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Amoral, shrouded in secrecy, and answerable to no one, Section 31 is the mysterious covert operations division of Starfleet, a rogue shadow group committed to safeguarding the Federation at any cost.<br /> <br />Doctor Julian Bashir sacrificed his career for a chance to infiltrate Section 31 and destroy it from within. Now it's asking him to help it stop the Breen from stealing a dangerous new technology from the Mirror Universe - one that could give the Breen control over the galaxy. <br /><br />It's a mission Bashir can't refuse - but is it really the shot he's been waiting for? Or is it a trap from which even his genetically enhanced intellect can't escape?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The crew of the Starfleet scout ship Sagittarius follows peculiar sensor readings to an alien world, where the natives’ efforts to harness a dangerous and unstable technology have thrown the laws of probability out of balance. As disasters and miracles multiply at an ever-increasing rate, it’s up to Captain Clark Terrell and his crew to shut down the experiment gone wrong before it’s too late—but the odds against them might already be too great to overcome.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The time is 8:00 PM.<br /><br />Jack Bauer is a man without a country, a fugitive hunted by the most powerful nations in the world. He lives on the run, survives by his wits, and finds purpose in his exile by waging a one-man war against those who profit from the deaths and sufferings of others.<br /><br />On a self-imposed crusade to destroy the criminal empire of international arms dealer Karl Rask, Jack has infiltrated the crew of one of Rask's freighters. But his mission is disrupted when the ship is hijacked by a band of suspiciously well-informed pirates off the coast of Somalia.<br /><br />As Jack fights to free the ship, he discovers a deadly secret hidden in its hold: a prize the pirates were hired to steal, and that could be used to ignite a world war--unless Jack captures it first.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[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 <i>Starship Enterprise™</i> has never been told. <br /><b>UNTIL NOW.</b> <br /> A cataclysmic war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire has been miraculously averted, and a new government is finally in place on the planet Tezwa. But deadly secrets still threaten the fragile peace accord. <br /> Rebels still loyal to the old Tezwa regime have captured Commander Riker and are willing to kill to achieve their goals...the Orion Syndicate is interfering in the rebuilding -- and may also be involved in much more than that. But the most devastating revelation of all threatens the very foundations of the Federation itself -- leaving Captain Picard to possibly face the very conflict that he labored so hard to prevent....]]></book_description>

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 <i>Starship Enterprise</i>™ has never been told. <br /><br /><b>UNTIL NOW.</b> <br /><br /> At the height of the Dominion War and unknown to all save those in the highest levels of command, the Federation secretly armed the neutral planet Tezwa with devastating weapons -- part of a contingency plan against the Dominion if the front lines collapsed. But Tezwa also lies near the border of the Klingon Empire...making the Federation's covert strategy in direct violation of their fragile peace treaties,and creating the potential threat of scandal and all-out war. <br /><br /> Now Tezwa's power-hungry prime minister is all too eager to flex his newfound military muscle, menacing a nearby Klingon border world. Sent on an urgent diplomatic mission, Captain Picard and the <i>Enterprise</i> crew are caught in the crossfire as the crisis quickly escalates. With time running out and billions of lives at stake, only one man can avert the looming disaster -- Ambassador Worf, who must choose between his oath to the Federation and his loyalty to Martok, Chancellor of the Klingon Empire....]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Returning from its historic first voyage to the edge of the galaxy, the damaged <i>U.S.S. Enterprise</i> journeys through the Taurus Reach, a vast and little-known region of space in which a new starbase has been unexpectedly established. Puzzled by the Federation's interest in an area so far from its borders and so near the xenophobic Tholian Assembly, Captain James T. Kirk orders the <i>Enterprise</i> to put in for repairs at the new space station: Starbase 47, also known as Vanguard. <p> As Kirk ponders the mystery of the enormous base, he begins to suspect that there is much more to Vanguard than meets the eye. It's a suspicion shared by the Tholians, the Orions, and the Klingon Empire, each of whom believes that there are less than benign motives behind the Federation's sudden and unexplained desire to explore and colonize the Taurus Reach. </p><p> But when a calamity deep within the Reach threatens to compromise Starfleet's continued presence in the region, Kirk, Spock, and several key specialists from the <i>Enterprise</i> must assist Vanguard's crew in investigating the cause of the disaster and containing the damage. In the process, they learn the true purpose behind the creation of Vanguard, and what the outcome of its mission may mean for life throughout that part of the galaxy. </p><p> <b>Inside: Bonus diagrams of Vanguard station!</b></p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A spy for the Typhon Pact—a new political rival of the Federation—steals the plans for Starfleet’s newest technological advance: the slipstream drive. To stop the Typhon Pact from unlocking the drive’s secrets, Starfleet Intelligence recruits a pair of genetically enhanced agents: Dr. Julian Bashir, of station Deep Space 9, and Sarina Douglas, a woman whose talents Bashir helped bring to fruition, and whom Bashir thinks of as his long-lost true love.<br /><br />Bashir and Douglas are sent to infiltrate the mysterious species known as the Breen, find the hidden slipstream project, and destroy it. Meanwhile, light-years away, Captain Ezri Dax and her crew on the <i>U.S.S. Aventine</i> play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a Typhon Pact fleet that stands between them and the safe retrieval of Bashir and Douglas from hostile territory.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The soldiers of Armageddon are on the march, laying waste to worlds in their passage. An audacious plan could stop them forever, but it carries risks that one starship captain is unwilling to take. For Captain Jean-Luc Picard, defending the future has never been so important, or so personal -- and the wrong choice will cost him everything for which he has struggled and suffered.<br /><br />For Captain William Riker, that choice has already been made. Haunted by the memories of those he was forced to leave behind, he must jeopardize all that he has left in a desperate bid to save the Federation.<br /><br />For Captain Ezri Dax, whose impetuous youth is balance by the wisdom of many lifetimes, the choice is a simple one: there is no going back -- only forward to whatever future awaits them.<br /><br />But for those who, millennia ago, had no choice...this is the hour of their final, inescapable destiny.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[On Earth, Federation President Nanietta Bacco gathers allies and adversaries to form a desperate last line of defense against an impending Borg invasion. In deep space, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Captain Ezri Dax join together to cut off the Collective's route to the Alpha Quadrant. <p> Half a galaxy away, Captain William Riker and the crew of the <i>Starship Titan</i> have made contact with the reclusive Caeliar -- survivors of a stellar cataclysm that, two hundred years ago, drove fissures through the structure of space and time, creating a loop of inevitability and consigning another captain and crew to a purgatory from which they could never escape. </p><p> Now the supremely advanced Caeliar will brook no further intrusion upon their isolation, or against the sanctity of their Great Work....For the small, finite lives of mere mortals carry little weight in the calculations of gods. </p><p> But even gods may come to understand that they underestimate humans at their peril.</p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Half a decade after the Dominion War and more than a year after the rise and fall of Praetor Shinzon, the galaxy's greatest scourge returns to wreak havoc upon the Federation -- and this time its goal is nothing less than total annihilation. Elsewhere, deep in the Gamma Quadrant, an ancient mystery is solved. One of Earth's first generation of starships, lost for centuries, has been found dead and empty on a desolate planet. But its discovery so far from home has raised disturbing questions, and the answers harken back to a struggle for survival that once tested a captain and her crew to the limits of their humanity.From that terrifying flashpoint begins an apocalyptic odyssey that will reach across time and space to reveal the past, define the future, and show three captains -- Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise, TM William Riker of the U.S.S. Titan, and Ezri Dax of the U.S.S Aventine -- that some destinies are inescapable.]]></book_description>
