Die fantastischen Abenteuer von Captain William T. Riker und der Crew der U. S. S. Titan. Eine der beliebtesten neuen Star Trek-Romanserien, die direkt an die Geschehnisse des letzten großen STAR TREK-Films NEMESIS anschließt.
Praetor Shinzon ist tot. Das Machtvakuum, das durch sein Ableben entstanden ist, hat das Romulanische Sternenimperium an den Rand des Bürgerkrieges gebracht – konkurrierende Parteien wetteifern um die Kontrolle. Sollte das Imperium fallen, könnte das den gesamten Raumsektor ins Chaos stürzen.
Um die Ordnung wieder herzustellen, wird die langerwartete Forschungsmission der Titan verschoben. Riker soll die Verhandlungen über Machtverteilung zwischen den romulanischen Fraktionen leiten. Währenddessen organisieren sich Teile des Tal Shiar, des gefürchteten romulanischen Geheimdienstes, hinter den Kulissen neu, um ihr eigenes Machtspiel zu spielen.
Investigating the disappearance of a secret Romulan fleet, the U.S.S. Titan, commanded by Captain William Riker, is unexpectedly propelled more than 200,000 light-years into the Small Magellanic Cloud. One of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies, the Cloud is also home to the Neyel, the long-sundered offshoots of Terran humanity, with whom the Federation has had no contact in over eighty years. Nearby, Riker's uncertain ally, Commander Donatra of the Romulan Warbird Valdore, rescues a young Neyel, the survivor of a mysterious cosmic upheaval that seems at times to be both unraveling and reweaving the very fabric of space...the fulfillment of an apocalyptic vision that has already claimed millions of lives. Titan's science team soon finds evidence that the ravaging of Neyel space is the work of a vast and powerful intelligence: the stirrings of a dormant consciousness that is maintaining the existence of the Small Magellanic Cloud -- and all life within it -- from one moment to the next. And if it should awaken, the consequences are unimaginable. As Riker considers his options, his new crew struggles with the scientific and philosophical implications of what they've discovered...while the young Neyel in their midst forges a bond with the captain, conjuring old ghosts Riker has yet to lay to rest.
The hidden history of the Star Trek universe is revealed in this new series charting the seventy years between Captain Kirk's disappearance and the beginning of The Next Generation.

Now Sulu and his crew - including Chekov, Rand, Chapel, Tuvok, and Akaar - are thrust into an unexpected conflict between the Tholians and a mysterious new enemy, the Neyel... whose origins, if revealed, could lead to war with Earth itself. As the Tholians weave a web of vengeance, the Excelsior is flung beyond the galaxy and the crew discovers the hidden truth about the alien Neyel, forcing Sulu to question where his responsibilities lie - with the fragile peace he must preserve, or with the victims of his own world's tragic past.
