Synopsis

An all-new novel based upon the acclaimed Star Trek TV series!

Captain Michael Burnham and the crew of the USS Discovery are finding that each day is a critical adjustment to their new lives and new missions in an Alpha Quadrant more than nine hundred years in the future. It’s here that Discovery is reconnecting with various worlds where the cataclysmic event known as “the Burn” has decimated Starfleet and, with it, the United Federation of Planets. There’s been precious little time for the crew to truly come to terms with their present reality, as their devotion to duty hides the emotional stress that could impact their effectiveness, and even threaten themselves or others.

After a successful journey to yet another planet cut off from the Federation, Discovery picks up a distress signal located in a nearby star system—a plea that harbors roots from their past lives in the 23rd century, and which may now lead to an entirely new crisis, plunging them all into mortal danger…

Sample

I guess saving the world once wasn't enough ... First it was the auroras, lighting up Europe every night. Then came the weird clouds over Africa. The tidal shifts ... the failing crops ... the crazy changes to animal migration ... And I think all of this is just the start. I don't buy the official line that these are natural occurrences. Not anymore. Not since a whistleblower hid a coded message in my invitation for an upcoming commemoration ceremony on The Vita. Now I know the truth—that Earth is in serious danger from the side-effects of their reckless research. Since the moment I found out, I've known what I have to do. Three years ago, I went into space and almost died saving the world from a madman's evil plan. When I made it home, I swore I'd never leave my family behind again. But to make sure we'll still have a planet to call home in another three years, I have to go back. And this time, they're coming with me ...
