**The Starship Titan continues on her outward voyage of discovery in
this latest exciting novel.
**
Though the United Federation of Planets still reels from Andor's
political decision that will forever affect the coalition, Captain
William T. Riker and the crew of the U.S.S. Titan are carrying out
Starfleet's renewed commitment to deep space exploration. While
continuing to search the Beta Quadrant's unknown expanses for an ancient
civilization's long-lost quick-terraforming technology-- a potential
boon to many Borg-ravaged worlds across the Federation and
beyond--Titan's science specialists encounter the planet Ta'ith, home
to the remnant of a once-great society that may hold the very secrets
they seek. But this quest also takes Titan perilously close to the
deadly Vela Pulsar, the galaxy's most prolific source of lethal
radiation, potentially jeopardizing both the ship and what remains of
the Ta'ithan civilization. Meanwhile, Will Riker finds himself on a
collision course with the Federation Council and the Andorian
government, both of which intend to deprive Titan of its Andorian crew
members. And one of those Andorians--Lieutenant Pava Ek'Noor
sh'Aqaba--has just uncovered a terrible danger, which has been hiding in
plain sight for more than two centuries. . . .
