Before he was an officer aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise... Cadet Worf arrived at Starfleet Academy as the first Klingon to gain entrance since the Federation-Klingon Peace Treaty. Raised on Earth by human parents, Worf wonders if he is still a Klingon, the proud member of an honorable warrior race, or is he more... human? Where does he fit in? Command-level classes fill his schedule, but nothing prepares him for his fellow cadets, among them his human foster brother. Intelligent, ambitious, and confident, the Academy cadets make life difficult for the young warrior. How can he win over his classmates -- including the always logical Vulcans and the fierce Brikar -- if they are still trained to think of him as the enemy? When a routine trip to a training satellite turns into an unexpected disaster, Worf must unite the cadets and risk his life before a terrible accident destroys the entire mission.

For over four decades, the demand for Star Trek stories has led to five television series, over seven hundred episodes, ten feature films, and an animated series. From the early short-story adaptations by James Blish in the 1960s to the original novels of the 1970s and beyond, fiction has significantly expanded the Star Trek universe. This exploration delves into why these books serve as a powerful creative outlet for some and a fresh way to engage with the Star Trek mythos for others. The work reflects on the first forty years of professionally published Star Trek fiction, showcasing the personalities and creative sensibilities of its contributors. It provides an insightful look into the creative processes, challenges, innovations, and progress within this literary landscape. Author Jeff Ayers has engaged with nearly six hundred books and interviewed over three hundred authors and editors to create a comprehensive guide to this unique publishing phenomenon. Fully illustrated with book covers, the work includes an index by title and author, as well as a detailed timeline, making it an essential resource for every fan.

Every thirty-three years, a rift in space connects the Federation with a mysterious race called the Calligar who live on a planet hundreds of light years away -- much too far to travel in a Starship. Captain Kirk and the U.S.S. Enterprise™ are dispatched to transport a Federation delegation of diplomats, scholars and scientists who will travel to Calligar directly during the brief period of time that the rift will be open. Mr. Spock leads the Federation party as they travel by shuttle through the rift just as a group of the aliens arrive in Federation space. The meetings go smoothly until the Calligar take Spock's party hostage and Kirk discovers that the aliens are keeping a deadly secret. With angry Tellarite and Andorain fleets ready to attack the Calligar, Kirk must save Spock and the others before war breaks out and the rift closes for another fifty years.

Anni prima di servire a bordo della U.S.S. Enterprise , il Comandante Willialm Riker e il consigliere di bordo Deanna Troi avevano avuto una tumultuosa storia d'amore sul pianeta natale di lei, Betazed. Adesso, la loro passione si è trasformata in una profonda amicizia e servono a bordo della stessa nave. Eppure, nonostante il tempo trascorso, quei vecchi sentimenti sono semrpe vivi e Troi e Riker rimangono Imzadi , un termine betazoide per descrivere lo stretto legame che li unisce ancora. Durante alcuni importanti e rischiosi negoziati con una razza aggressiva, i Sindariani, Deanna Troi, si ammala misteriosamente... e muore. Ma la sua morte non è altro che l'inizio dell'avventura del comandante Riker, un'avventura che lo porterà avanti ed indietro nel tempo, contrapponendolo ad una delle sue migliori amiche di sempre, e forzandolo a scegliere tra le rigide regole della Flotta Stellare e la persona che lui chiama Imzadi .
