Summary

From the book jacket:

It is the twenty-second century... and the dawn of mankind's boldest adventure. Thanks to an amazing new breakthrough in warp technology, finally an era of true interstellar exploration is about to begin.

Captain Jonathan Archer has been chosen to command the groundbreaking starship Enterprise NX-01. But before the ship can leave Earth's orbit, a mysterious alien – a Klingon – fleeing the attack of another race of aliens is nearly killed on a farm in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The Vulcan Ambassador Soval suggests that in light of these events Enterprise's departure be postponed. A Vulcan ship, he assures Starfleet Command, will take the body of the Klingon home. Pointing out that the Klingon is still alive, Archer counters that Enterprise is ready and that he will see the Klingon home – alive.

Starfleet gives Archer the assignment with one proviso: a Vulcan observer, Sub-Commander T'Pol, will work as his science officer. Eager to get under way, the captain reluctantly agrees. It should have been a quick and easy mission, but when the Klingon is snatched out of the ship's sickbay by the Suliban, Enterprise is pulled into a conflict that not only reaches across star systems, but centuries as well.

Background Information

This is a novelization of the Star Trek: Enterprise premiere episode, "Broken Bow" by Diane Carey.
The novel includes Behind the Scenes of Enterprise written by Paul Ruditis which features interviews with Rick Berman, Brannon Braga, Herman Zimmerman and Robert Blackman.
In 2012, Brannon Braga recalled to Rick Berman that the novelization for "Broken Bow" was filled from "beginning to end" with passages commenting how terrible the script for the pilot was. Braga remembered that Diane Carey was probably reprimanded for this. ("In Conversation: Rick Berman and Brannon Braga", ENT Season 1 Blu-ray special feature)
