Summary Edit

Publisher's description

Shortly after making the stunning revelation that it has joined with Federation's newest adversary – a coalition of galactic powers known as the Typhon Pact – the Gorn Hegemony suffers an ecological disaster. Fortunately, the Gorn had already been investigating traces of an ancient but powerful "quick terraforming" technology left behind by a long-vanished race – a dead civilization that may be responsible for habitability of many of the worlds on the Gorn frontier and beyond. When the USS Titan begins pursuing this potent technology as well, in the hopes of using it to heal the many grievous wounds sustained by the Federation, it is unclear how dangerous such planet-altering technology can be, even when used with the best of intentions...
