Summary
- Solicitation blurb
- The sixth astonishing novel in the bestselling Star Trek: Titan series delivers another mind-bending adventure as the anticipation builds toward 2010's six-part Star Trek novel event, The Typhon Pact.
- Now a new father, Captain Riker leads the starship Titan toward contact with a civilization made up of artificial intelligences–sentient computers who have surrounded a vast gasgiant planet, serving as the first line of defense against an ominous threat that the crew can scarcely comprehend. The AIs' long and turbulent history has given them deeply routed distrust of organics... leading to an unexpected act that radically transforms the dynamic between the ship and its crew.
