An all-new novel based upon the explosive Star Trek TV series!
Aboard the Starship Shenzhou, Lieutenant Michael Burnham, a human
woman raised and educated among Vulcans, is promoted to acting first
officer. But if she wants to keep the job, she must prove to Captain
Philippa Georgiou that she deserves to have it.
She gets her chance when the Shenzhou must protect a Federation colony
that is under attack by an ancient alien vessel that has surfaced from
the deepest fathoms of the planet's dark, uncharted sea.
As the menace from this mysterious vessel grows stronger, Starfleet
declares the colony expendable in the name of halting the threat. To
save thousands of innocent lives, Burnham must infiltrate the alien
ship. But to do so, she needs to face the truth of her troubled past,
and seek the aid of a man she has tried to avoid her entire life--until
now.
