An epic new Star Trek saga by New York Times bestselling author
Greg Cox set during the original Five-Year Mission!
The final frontier erupts into chaos as vast quantities of a rare energy
source are discovered beneath the surface of Baldur-3, a remote planet
beyond the outer fringes of Federation space. Now an old-fashioned "gold
rush" is underway as a flood of would-be prospectors, from countless
worlds and species, races toward the planet to stake their claim. The
galactic stampede threatens the stability of neighboring planets and
space stations, as widespread strife and sabotage and all-around
pandemonium result in a desperate need for Starfleet assistance. Captain
James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise are dispatched
to deal with the escalating crisis...which lies on the other side of a
famously perilous region of space known as the Antares Maelstrom.
