Publisher's Synopsis
Retired and happily married, Kirk believes his adventuring days are over. But as he returns to Earth for the first time since his apparent 'death' upon the Enterprise-B, events elsewhere in the galaxy set in motion a mystery that may provide Kirk with his greatest challenge yet. The Enterprise-E, under the command of Jean-Luc Picard, is exploring an unstable region of space on a scientific mission of vital concern to Starfleet when they discover a lonely, battle-scarred vessel that is instantly recognisable: five years after being presumed lost with all hands aboard, the Starship Voyager has come home! The Captain, one Tom Paris, explains that Janeway and half of the original crew are dead. But who is the mysterious woman who has kidnapped Kirk on Earth, pleading with him to assist her against a threat to the entire Federation? Kirk and Picard will need all their combined experience to save the day.
