BEST DESTINY is an epic-length story of unparalleled danger and momentous self-discovery - a story that gives a first-over look at the personal history of the man who would later command the Starship Enterprise: James T. Kirk. As Captain Kirk prepares to retire form a long and illustrious Starfleet career, events in a distant part of the Federation draw him back to a part of the galaxy he had last visited as a young man - a mysterious world called Faramond whose name takes Kirk on a journey back to his youth, when a trip into space with his father George Samuel Kirk and Starfleet legend Captain Robert April changed his life forever.

The Day of Honor is celebrated throughout the Klingon Empire. But every tradition had to being somewhere... Signi Beta is an M-class planet ideal for farming.

Their mutual antagonism turns into an uneasy alliance, however, when yet another alien fleet attacks both the Klingons and the "U.S.S. Enterprise." Now Kirk and Kor must rely on each other's honor -- or none of them may survive to wage their war again.

To true Klingon warriors, no occasion is more sacred than the Day of Honor, when they pay homage to all that makes them Klingon. But honor demands its price.... Worf finds his honor tested when he goes undercover to infiltrate a planetary criminal network. How can he root out the corruption on Sindikash without resorting to deceit and treachery himself? Worf's dilemma is shared by his son Alexander, who searches for the true meaning of honor in his own human heritage. Along with his son, Worf must confront deadly danger -- and the inner struggles of his Klingon soul.

Kennen Sie Tribbles? zählt zu den beliebtesten Abenteuern um Kirk, Spock und ihre Crew. Die kleinen, kuscheligen Wesen sind bekannt für ihr zufriedenes Schnurren und ihre bemerkenswerte Fortpflanzungsgeschwindigkeit. Zum dreißigjährigen Jubiläum der Enterprise wurde eine neue Tribbles-Geschichte für die Nachfolgeserie Deep Space Nine produziert. Mit modernster Computertechnik wurden Sisko, Worf und ihre Freunde in die legendäre Star Trek-Folge von 1967 versetzt, wo sie versuchen, ihre Zeitlinie zu bewahren, ohne eine Katastrophe auszulösen. Sisko erhält ein Autogramm seines Jugendhelden, während Bashir sich in seine Großmutter verliebt. Diese witzige Episode mit beeindruckenden Spezialeffekten verlangt jedoch nach mehr als nur einer TV-Adaption. Glücklicherweise hat Diane Carey die Herausforderung angenommen, die Geschichte in Buchform zu bringen. Sie verleiht den Charakteren Tiefe und beschreibt deren Wünsche und Beweggründe, wodurch das ursprünglich oberflächliche Abenteuer an Komplexität gewinnt. Das Vorwort von David Gerrold, dem Drehbuchautor der klassischen Episode, bietet zusätzliche Einblicke in die Entstehung der Geschichte und seine Rolle als Sicherheitswächter. Diese Kombination macht den Roman zu einem unterhaltsamen Erlebnis für Star Trek-Fans.

Als Captain Janeway ihrem 26 Jahre älteren Ebenbild im Delta-Quadranten begegnet, kann sie nicht glauben, dass sie einmal zu dieser zynischen, sich über alle Vorschriften hinwegsetzenden Person wird.

"Teach me what I need to know..." Jessica Grey watched ruggedly handsome Tarik crossing the moonlit floor of the seraglio. This was her captor...the rebel leader who kidnapped her from a world of four o'clock teas and lavish embassy balls and gave her away to the Sultan's harem where women were taught the art of making love... Now Jessica realized the young Turk had kept her heart for his own. Her shawl slipped from her creamy white shoulders. Her arms stretched out for him. His lips closed over hers, his strong hands geverishly exploring the smooth silk of her flesh. To be found together in the Sultan's palace would mean death. But as they sank onto the bed's velvet cushions, no risk could curb their hunger. It was time for Jessica to learn the deepest secrets of passion...to discover the love that could truly make her desire's slave... Based on the screenplay by Karol Ann Hoeffner
