To bring the myriad cultures to their world, the Rey host a celebration - inviting spacefaring peoples to send representative ships to complete against one another and the Great Starship Race is born.

Captain Janeway believed she commanded the only Starfleet vessel in the Delta Quadrant--until the U.S.S. Voyager came to the rescue of the U.S.S. Equinox, a battered starship besieged by a ravening horde of extradimensional predators.Helmed by Captain Rudolph Ransom, the Equinox has been trapped in the Delta Quadrant even longer than the Voyager and the ship and its crew show the scars of a constant struggle to survive. But Ransom and his people are hiding something as well: a shocking secret that will ultimately pit captain against captain, starship against starship, in an explosive conflict that may cost Voyager the life of her captain.

Far from the reaches of the Federation, the starship Enterprise has been guiding the development of a once obscure planet upon whose fate the future of the galaxy may now depend. The Enterprise has been the sole representative of the Federation, fighting a constant battle to protect the colonists from enemy aliens and standing alone against all those who have their own designs on the colony world.But all adventure come to an end. It is time for Captain Kirk and the Enterprise to turn over the guardianship of the colony to another ship and crew. The new ship arrives in the midst of a deadly attack on the colony -- and is destroyed. With the Enterprise off fighting a new and powerful enemy that threatens the colony as well as its enemies, Commander Nick Keller, first officer and ranking survivor of the decimated crew, is marooned and at first alone -- but he must find a way to complete his original mission and come to the aid of the Enterprise in what might be its most desperate hour.

But Kirk and his valiant crew may not be enough to save the planet from a relentless assault by the ultimate superweapon.

The entire Alpha Quadrant has been threatened with deadly infiltration by the shape-shifting Founders of the Dominion. Already the Romulans and Cardassians have been decimated by the clandestine machinations of the Founders. Now the newly promoted Captain Benjamin Sisko of "Deep Space Nine" TM has another problem: a massive fleet of Klingon warships has arrived at DS9 on a secret mission. Unable to learn anything from an elusive Klingon general, Sisko turns to Lt. Commander Worf, formerly of the "Starship Enterprise" TM -- and the only Klingon in Starfleet -- to try and uncover the truth.What Worf learns has a profound impact on the future of the Alpha Quadrant, and Sisko must risk destroying the Federation-Klingon alliance to prevent a full-scale war.

Captain Sisko and the Deep Space Nine team must find a way to close down the wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant before the entire Federation is enslaved by the Dominion.

A powerful novel in the classic tradition of "All Good Things..." Seven years ago, Benjamin Sisko took command of an alien space station newly christened "Deep Space Nine(TM) ." There he met Kira Nerys, Odo, Miles O'Brien, Quark, Worf, Julian Bashir, and many others who would touch his life deeply. He also found a new and troubling destiny as the long-awaited Emissary to the mysterious wormhole entities known as the Prophets.Now, after years of triumph and tragedy, and a cataclysmic war that rocked the entire Alpha Quadrant, Captain Sisko and his valiant crew face their final challenge. No one is safe, nothing is certain, and not even the Prophets can predict the ultimate fate of "Deep Space Nine!"

For ages they have sought to claim our worlds. Now, at last, we take the battle to them. . . . Far from the Federation's desperate war against the invading Furies, the crew of the "U.S.S. Voyager" TM encounters something they never expected to hear again: a Starfleet distress call. The signal leads them to a vast assemblage of non-humanoid races engaged in a monumental project of incredible magnitude. Here is the source of the terrible invasion threatening the entire Alpha Quadrant -- and, for the "Starship Voyager" TM, a possible route home. But soon there may not be any home to return to . . .

Within months, it will inevitably explode -- destroying all life on Belle Terre!

The Borg are back -- and nastier than ever. No longer mindless, inhuman drones but cyborg soldiers on a mission to assimilate all intelligent life, their new goal is the complete destruction of the Federation. And in the midst of facing the Borg again, Captain Picard learns that he may be the cause of the change. Commander Data is changing as well. For the first time in his life, Data feels a genuine emotion -- and that emotion is deadly, destructive rage. When it is revealed that the Borg are commanded by an old enemy out of Data's past, Data must choose between his allegiance tot he Federation and the one thing he wants above all else...

Ambassador Spock must put aside his efforts at unification to summon his old friend, Dr. Leonard McCoy, who discovers that the only hope for a cure lies with a long lost Romulan heir whose blood and tissues have not been contaminated by the virus.

Now Kirk finds himself responsible for the lives of 30,000 men, women, and children -- a task that grows all the more difficult when the expedition is caught in the middle of an ancient feud between two dangerous alien races!

There's a bar called "The Captain's Table, " where those who have commanded mighty vessels of every shape and era can meet, relax, and share a friendly drink or two with others of their calling. Sometimes a brawl may break out but it's all in the family, more or less. Just remember, the first round of drinks is always paid for with a story...even in the Delta Quadrant. A sudden attack separates Captain Kathryn Janeway from her ship and crew. Soon she is rescued -- but not by "Voyager." Alone aboard an alien vessel, Janeway finds herself in the middle of a war she cannot yet understand. She must quickly learn the ways of this new culture and work her way back to captain if she is to protect her new allies from the war that only she knows is coming.

Ein unerklärliches Energie-Phänomen bedroht die Enterprise 1995: Ein unerklärliches Engergie-Phänomen zerstört einen russischen Flugzeugträger, tötet die Besatzung und verschwindet wieder von der Erde. Drei Jahrhunderte später wird die Enterprise von demselben Phänomen angegriffen. Es versucht, die gesamte Energie des Raumschiffes zu absorbieren.

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.
