A thrilling original novel set in the universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation / Deep Space Nine! In 2367, Captain Benjamin Maxwell of the starship Phoenix ordered the destruction of a Cardassian warship and a supply vessel, killing more than six hundred crew members. Maxwell believed that the Cardassians were arming for a new attack on the Federation, and though history eventually proved he was probably correct, the Federation had no choice but to court martial and incarcerate him. Almost twenty years have passed, and now Maxwell is a free man, working as a maintenance engineer on the private science station Robert Hooke, home to crackpots, fringe researchers, and, possibly, something much darker and deadlier. Maxwell’s former crewmate, Chief Miles O’Brien, and O’Brien’s colleague, Lieutenant Commander Nog, have come for a visit. Unfortunately, history has proven that whenever O’Brien and Nog leave Deep Space 9 together, unpredictable forces are set into motion… ™, ®, & © 2016 CBS Studios, Inc.

Ačkoli to pro ni jak pro bývalého vědeckého důstojníka není nikterak jednoduché, obrací se zády i k podivné hvězdné soustavě, již obývají tvorové, kteří by podle všech známých fyzikálních zákonů neměli vůbec existovat. Osudu ale neujde. A tak se Voyager seznámí s Monorhy, zvláštními bytostmi, které se ocitly na pokraji vyhynutí. Zkáza, která hrozí jejich planetě, staví kapitána Janewayovou před morální dilema: kam až může zajít při pomoci ostatním, aniž by ohrozila posádku nebo se zpronevěřila filozofii Spojené federace planet? Volí kompromis a posílá na domovský svět Monorhů poručíka B'Elannu Torresovou a bývalého borgského vojáka Sedmou z devíti, aby zjistily, jak situaci řešit.
