An original novel set in the universe of Star Trek: Enterprise! October 5, 2140. After a half-dozen years of research and testing, Starfleet prepares to launch its first warp 5 vessel—Daedalus. Propelled by a radical new engine designed by Earth's most brilliant warp field theorist, Victor Brodesser, the new ship will at last put the stars within mankind's reach. But on the eve of her maiden voyage, a maintenance engineer, Ensign Charles Tucker III—"Trip" to his friends—discovers a flaw in Daedalus's design. When he confronts Brodesser, the scientist—as charismatic as he is brilliant—eases Trip's concerns. The ship launches on schedule, and as Trip watches in horror, it explodes in a catastrophic ion cascade reaction, killing all aboard. Thirteen years pass. Still haunted by memories of that disaster, Trip now serves as chief engineer aboard Enterprise. When a freak explosion cripples his vessel, leaving her helpless before a surprise attack, Trip is forced to abandon his ship—and his shipmates. As he is on the verge of mounting a desperate rescue attempt, however, a shocking turn of events forces him to confront the ghosts of Daedalus one final time.

On the edge of uncharted space. . . Captain Jonathan Archer and the crew of the Starship Enterprise™ find their way forward blocked by a mysterious alien vessel, piloted by a race they will soon come to know as the Antianna. Unable to decipher the alien ship's transmissions, unwilling to risk a battle, Enterprise is forced to veer from its planned course. Almost immediately, they find themselves in the heart of space ruled by the Thelasian Trading Confederacy, who have also had dealings with the Antianna. The Thelasian leader, Governor Maxim Sen, is in fact in the middle of organizing a war against the Antianna, to eliminate the threat they pose to the Confederacy's trading routes. Archer suspects Sen has other motives as well. He also suspects that there is a reason for the Antianna's seemingly hostile posture. But with the assembled races of an entire sector against him, he needs more than just suspicions. He needs facts. And only one woman can give them to him: Ensign Hoshi Sato. If she can translate the Antianna language, peace may just be possible. If not, war -- a devastating sector-wide war -- will soon result.

Archer and the crew of the damaged Enterprise are trapped in an alternate universe amidst a deadly civil war, held captive by a ruthless warlord, while facing lethal biochemical differences that threaten their survival.

They rocketed into space as four ordinary human beings. They came back as heroes. The Fantastic Four -- the Thing, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and Mr. Fantastic. Together they have used their powers for the betterment of mankind. For years, the world's top scientists have dreamed of creating a quantum computer, a machine that would be infinitely more powerful than any based on the transistor. Now Reed Richards -- Mr. Fantastic -- has achieved that dream. He has birthed a device capable of creating the unbreakable cipher, predicting the weather, performing calculations, and retrieving knowledge at heretofore unimagined speeds. He has also, unwittingly, created something else. A machine that one of the Fantastic Four's oldest and most powerful adversaries will use against them, will twist to his own destructive, murderous purposes, one that will turn friend against friend, husband against wife, and force Ben Grimm -- the Thing -- to confront a nightmarish dilemma. A choice between humanity's salvation -- and the death of the three people he loves most in all the world. . . .

Blair Witch Project, ein unabhängig produzierter Kinofilm über das Verschwinden dreier Filmstudenten während ihrer Recherchen zur Legende der hexe von Blair, war der Überraschungshit des Sundance Film Festival von 1999 und der einzige englischsprachige Film, der dieses Jahr in Cannes eine Auszeichnung erhielt. Nur durch exklusive Vereinbarungen mit den Familien der vermißten Studenten war es Haxan Films möglich, das Filmmaterial der Studenten (das ein ganzes Jahr nach ihrem Verschwinden gefunden wurde) zu einem Bericht über ihre verhängnisvolle Fahrt in die Black Hills von Maryland zusammenzutragen, eine Reise, die gleichermaßen geheimnisvoll und erschreckend ist. Dieses Buch führt diese Reise einen Schritt weiter: Unter Verwendung von offiziellen Polizeiakten, Abschriften aufgezeichneter Befragungen, exklusiven Archivphotos und dem aktuellen Bericht, der von Privatdetektiv C. D. „Buck“ Buchanan für die Familien der Studenten erstellt wurden, bringt der bekannte Journalist und Experte für okkulte Phänomene D. A. Stern das umfassendste Dossier im Zusammenhang mit dem Verschwinden von Heather Donahue, Michael Williams und Joshua Leonard ans Tageslicht, sowie.
