Summary[]
- From the box
- In this thrilling adventure, you will be dropped deep into another spectacular culture – the Borg, the strange and powerful race eager to assimilate the Federation.
- Cadet Qaylan Furlong's father was killed by the Borg in the Battle of Wolf 359. Now, ten years later, the Borg are attacking again, and Starfleet won't allow Cadet Furlong to stay aboard the Starship Cheyenne to avenge his father's death – but Q will. He'll do better than that, in fact, taking the cadet back in time ten years and putting Qaylan on the same ship as his father to give him a chance to save him – and the entire Federation – on a mission of extreme danger, difficult choices, and surprising results.
