Christopher L. Bennett Knihy

A thrilling adventure featuring the return of the Federation's greatest threat: the seemingly unstoppable Borg.

Přímé pokračování prvního startrekového filmu z roku 1979. Krátce po neuvěřitelném střetnutím s obří umělou inteligencí V’Ger jsou kapitán a posádka U.S.S. Enterprise pronásledováni vzpomínkami na oběť, již splynutím se záhadným mimozemským objektem přinesl jejich přítel a kolega Willard Decker. Zatímco se James T. Kirk, Spock a Leonard McCoy snaží s nedávnými událostmi vnitřně vyrovnat, znovu se otevírá jiná kapitola jejich společné minulosti, která vyvolává podobně závažné filozofické otázky o víře, člověku a umělé inteligenci. Nedávno osídlený svět Daran IV, který se stal domovem bývalých fabrinských uprchlíků ze světolodi Yonada, rozdělují protichůdné ideologie – ti, kteří lpí na teokratické minulosti, jsou nuceni čelit vizionářům hledícím vstříc budoucnosti založené na čistě racionálním uvažování. Důstojníci Enterprise, kteří před lety svrhli Orákulum, boha ve stroji ovládajícího Yonadu, jsou po osudovém setkání s V’Gerem konfrontováni s důsledky svých minulých činů a musejí čelit rozhodnutím, jež ovlivní osud celé civilizace a je samotné možná změní navždy.

In the aftermath of a global cataclysm, the USS Titan and her crew encounter unexpected danger on a predominantly water-covered planet.

As the "U.S.S. Titan" ventures beyond the outermost reaches of known space, the telepaths in her crew -- including Diplomatic Officer Deanna Troi -- are overwhelmed by an alien cryof distress, leading the ship to the scene of a shocking act of carnage: a civilization of interstellar "whalers" preying upon and exploiting a familiar species of sentient spaceborne giants. Appalled but reluctant to rush to judgment, Captain William Riker and his crew investigate, discovering a cosmic spawning ground in a region of active star formation -- the ecosystem for a bewildering array of diverse but similarly vast life-forms. While attempting to negotiate an end to the victimization of these creatures, Riker's crew inadvertently grants them the means to defeat their hunters' purpose...only to learn that things are not exactly as they seem.

Set in a future where the boundaries between life and technology are increasingly indistinct, the collection presents eight compelling tales that explore the challenges and conflicts of this evolving landscape.
