Product Description:
Captain Kirk and the crew of the EnterpriseTM pursue a most critical mission: rescuing the brilliant scientist Zefram Cochrane from captors who want to use his skills to develop a way to conquer the galaxy. Ninety-nine years in the future, Captain Picard commands his own Enterprise crew on a similar mission, the rescue of an important and mysterious person whose safety is vital to the Federation's survival. As their missions develop, the two Enterprise's are drawn closer together until the past and future overlap, and in a very literal sense the fate of each ship depends upon the success of the other.

The story bounces back and forth between three different centuries, changing in mid-action, so often that it's hard to follow. Divided in half, the 2nd half is far inferior to the first. The book could have ended (with some clean up) after the 1st half. Too long, and with an unsatisfying ending.

An intricate, complex storyline weaves together two different generations of Enterprise crews in a desperate mission to save the past and the future. Authors Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens imbue the storyline with the sad overtone of the journey's ... Read More

Granted the book was a little long and could have done without certain sections in the book. But the book was still well written and had a good story. I guess the book was supposed to immortalize Zephram Cochrane much like Shatner and the Nexus have done to James T. Kirk and TNG with Scotty.

Years go by, and a book comes along, that makes you wonder what is fact, what is fiction, what is faction; a book that makes you want to read it all over again; that makes you read each and every single word from the front cover of the dust jacket to the last bar code on the back of the jacket; that makes you stay awake in fear lest if you fall asleep you might break the rhythm of the story, or, be afraid like a child that the adventure might proceed without you to witness it...
This is it. ... Read More
