Product Description:
Whenever there's a need to fix, repair, or salvage, Starfleet calls in the crack S.C.E. team on the U.S.S. da Vinci. Under the command of Captain David Gold and Commander Sonya Gomez, the S.C.E. solves the unsolvable, from finding a Starfleet vessel lost inside a holographic ship to doping out new technology captured during the Dominion War.
However, the da Vinci's mission to Galvan VI will prove to be the S.C.E.'s greatest challenge to date, as they must salvage the U.S.S. Orion from the turbulent atmosphere of a gas giant. As if that wasn't enough, the Orion is carrying the prototype of the deadly Wildfire device -- a protomatter warhead that can ignite gas giants into stars -- and the planet seems to be home to a strange alien life-form that may have been responsible for the Orion 's destruction!
Wildfire contains the complete eBook editions of S.C.E. adventures #20-24: Enigma Ship, War Stories Book 1, War Stories Book 2, Wildfire Book 1, and Wildfire Book 2.

The ending of "Wildfire" ensured that the next book will be even less enjoyable. I read Star Trek books for pure escapism. I don't want to be weighed down with grief. I read to be ... Read More

So I finished the latest SCE anthology Wildfire. Overall, it's one of the better books of the year despite some quibbles. Won't prattle on, so here's some thoughts on the individual stories.
"Enigma Ship": An interesting tale of a completely holographic starship. Among the stories of the SCE, it's a pretty standard problem-solving storyline, but I liked the idea of a ship that's a whole hologram. All of the character work was pretty good and being a Trek ship nut, I really liked seeing one ... Read More

I haven't finish the rest of the book yet but i've read wildfire.the story was sad at the end.the da vince crew went to recover the orion.also in the middle on the story it went back to the past when duffy and stevens met.the past was mainly about duffy.book one and two told how the da vince and her crew struggle to survive.at the end of the book was extremmly sad.duffy went down to disable the warhead and it cost him his life.
