Mestiko is a world on the brink of interstellar space travel -- and
under covert Federation observation. When a rogue pulsar sweeps
through their star system and threatens to destroy all life, the
Federation mounts a desperate effort to save the planet from
annihilation. Under the command of James T. Kirk, the Starship
Enterpriseis able to mitigate some of the damage, but Mestiko still
suffers appalling loss of life.Over the next thirty years, the
Enterpriseand its crew revisit Mestiko -- whether to prevent its
people from falling prey to the machinations of the Klingon Empire
or to deliver a new method of replenishing its ozone --
encountering as they do so both hardships and blessings; love,
conflict and death.
A Star Trek: Original Series adventure! Before James T. Kirk,
another captain stood on the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise,
spearheading its mission of exploration into the uncharted reaches
of the galaxy. He was a man driven to perfection, a brooding soul
whose haunted eyes reflected the burden of the impossible standards
he set for himself, and for whom his longtime science officer,
Spock, one day would risk everything. Yet, little is truly known
about the enigmatic Christopher Pike, the events that defined
him...or the secrets that consumed him. From the embers of his
early childhood among Earth's blossoming interstellar colonies, to
the terrifying conflagration that led him back to the world of his
birth; from the mentor who would ignite young Chris's desire to
return to the stars, to the career he blazed in Starfleet that
would end in supreme sacrifice-the path of Pike's astonishing life
leads through fire again and again. But even amid the ashes of
Talos IV, the forbidden world on which he would live out the
remainder of his days, the dreams smoldering still within his
aging, radiation-ravaged breast fan the flames of Pike's spirit to
accomplish one final task...
A social experiment was conceived. Its goal was to breed the best,
the brightest, the most malleable and most loyal soldiers to ever
serve. To this end, the Romulan Empire used its own children,
blinded by the belief that anything that would bring glory to the
praetor was justified. And when the winds of politics changed,
these children were abandoned, left to die on a world so horrifying
that it was dubbed--by those who dared to cling to life--Hellguard.
One wild child, Saavik, was rescued by Spock. He took the
half-Vulcan, half-Romulan child home to his parents, knowing that
if anyone could reach and rescue Saavik, it was them.
Now a Starfleet officer, Saavik has striven to honor her mentor and
her Vulcan heritage. But recent events have shaken her. Left behind
on Vulcan while the rest of the "Enterprise "crew goes to face
court-martial for stealing and destroying their ship, the young
science officer is adrift when two men from her past confront her.
Tolek, another Hellguard survivor, tells Saavik that the survivors
are being killed one-by-one and only they can discover who and why.
The other, a Romulan who claims to be her father, swears it is the
Vulcans who are eliminating the Hellguard survivors because they
are an embarrassment to all of Vulcan, but that she has the power
to stop it, by bringing down the Vulcan ambassador, Sarek.
Not knowing where to turn, not knowing whom to trust, Saavik must
find her own answers, and discover who she truly is.
