Product Description

The Dominion War has been over for a year, but its legacy lives on. Commander Sonya Gomez, former Starship Enterprise™ engineer, and her crack Starfleet Corps of Engineers team on the U.S.S. da Vinci find themselves dealing with many permutations of that legacy.

Two mysterious murders on the da Vinci lead to the Gamma Quadrant and a Dominion base. A pre-warp planet occupied by the Dominion still has scars from both sides of that conflict. Plus Gomez, computer expert Soloman, and Security Chief Corsi are haunted by demons from their past.

But the greatest threat of all comes from a visit to Deep Space 9™. A fissure has opened up between realities, endangering the very existence of the Bajoran system -- and also stranding Doctors Lense and Bashir on a war-torn planet from which they may never escape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Boldly going where no one has gone before., December 22, 2008

By	Adrian - See all my reviews

This was an action packed book, filled with imaginative, yet dangerous and intense scenarios. One thing's for sure. The SCE has a high body count.

Although the SCE is not "canon", and is not as popular as the mainstream Original series and TNG series of books, it is truer to one of the basic premises of Star Trek- To boldly go where no one has gone before.

Lately, the normal Star Trek books seems to be all about the Borg, and occasianlly Q.

The SCE, in contrast, have imaginative stories in every book. It's as if the publishers have given the authors a free pass to let their imaiginations go wild, within the Star Trek universe, and sometimes outside the universe (readers will understand what I mean).

This one pulled no punches, and the crew of the SCE aboard the USS Da Vinci mixed nicely with that of Deep Space 9 in several adventures.

All in all, a very good series of short stories, all of which will have you rivited, both due to the action and the character developments.
