Description
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. CHALLENGER But all adventure come to an end. It is time for Captain Kirk and the Enterprise show more 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. show lessTags

This is the final book of the "New Earth" six-book series, and the best, and it is fitting that the Grande Olde Dame of Star Trek fiction, Diane Carey, be the one to write it. This concludes the "Wagon Train to the Stars" storyline in a most satisfactory manner, with a lot of whistling-in-the-dark humor, with one quibble. Carey evidently contends in this book that Spock's mental balance is dependent upon McCoy for letting off pressure, and that without Bones to argue with for weeks at a time, his emotional balance suffers almost to the point of instability. This rings false to my understanding of the character over the last 35 years, and it surprises me that a veteran writer of Star Trek such as Diane Carey would make this contention.
