Changes: A Doomsday Like Any Other

Revision as of 20:17, 25 March 2009

A Federation starship encounters a planet-killer similar to the one destroyed in "The Doomsday Machine."

Summary

From the book cover: It was a dull patrol, and the officers and crew of the frigate USS Fife were tired of the routine, tired of watching an empty frontier. Then, a call for help put the Fife face-to-face with the most implacable foe ever faced by Starfleet – one of the robot-brained "planet killers," like the one destroyed years before by the Enterprise.

As if that weren't enough, the Fife had to contend with panicky civilians, selfish VIPs, interfering Romulans, and a colorful rogue whose surprising cargo might hold the only hope of stopping the planet-crushing juggernaut.

It would be a day they would all remember... but it certainly wouldn't be A Doomsday Like Any Other.
