Summary[]
- From the book jacket
- The Enterprise-E arrives in unclaimed space for a rendezvous with the Starfleet science vessel Newton. Jean-Luc Picard and his crew have been ordered to assist the Newton with the final phase of its current mission – a mission that brings Picard face to face with something he never thought he would see again: the phenomenon known as the Nexus.
- Less than twelve years after it left the Alpha Quadrant, the Nexus ribbon has now returned. Tasked to track and study the phenomenon as it re-entered the galaxy, the specialist science team on the Newton discovered that the orbital path of the Nexus has been radically altered by the actions of the rogue El-Aurian Tolian Soran – taking it deep into the territory of The Holy Order of the Kinshaya, one of the key members of the Typhon Pact.
- Starfleet Command is unwilling to allow the Kinshaya – and by extension, the Typhon Pact – free access to what is essentially a gateway to anywhere and anywhen, as a single operative could use the Nexus to change the course of galactic history...
