Led by Captain Jonathan Archer, eighty of Starfleet''s best and brightest set forth to pave humanity''s way among the stars. Tempered by a year''s worth of exploration, they are a disciplined, cohesive unit. But now one of their number has fallen. Bad enough that Ensign Alana Hart is dead. Worse still that she died while attempting to sabotage the Enterprise -- and at the hands of Lieutenant Malcolm Reed, the ship''s armory officer and her nominal superior. Even as questions swirl around Hart''s death, Archer, Reed, and the rest of the Enterprise crew find themselves caught squarely in the middle of another tense situation- a brutal war of terror between two civilizations. But in the Eris Alpha system, nothing -- and no one -- are what they seem. And before the secret behind Ensign Hart''s demise is exposed, Reed will be forced to confront death one more time.

Propelled by a radical new engine designed by Earth''s most brilliant warp field theorist, Victor Brodesser, the new ship will at last put the stars within mankind''s reach. But on the eve of her maiden voyage, a maintenance engineer, Ensign Charles Tucker III—"Trip" to his friends—discovers a flaw in Daedalus''s design. When he confronts Brodesser, the scientist—as charismatic as he is brilliant—eases Trip''s concerns. The ship launches on schedule, and as Trip watches in horror, it explodes in a catastrophic ion cascade reaction, killing all aboard. Thirteen years pass. Still haunted by memories of that disaster, Trip now serves as chief engineer aboard Enterprise. When a freak explosion cripples his vessel, leaving her helpless before a surprise attack, Trip is forced to abandon his ship—and his shipmates. As he is on the verge of mounting a desperate rescue attempt, however, a shocking turn of events forces him to confront the ghosts of Daedalus one final time.

On the edge of uncharted space. . . Captain Jonathan Archer and the crew of the Starship Enterprise™ find their way forward blocked by a mysterious alien vessel, piloted by a race they will soon come to know as the Antianna. Unable to decipher the alien ship''s transmissions, unwilling to risk a battle, Enterprise is forced to veer from its planned course. Almost immediately, they find themselves in the heart of space ruled by the Thelasian Trading Confederacy, who have also had dealings with the Antianna. The Thelasian leader, Governor Maxim Sen, is in fact in the middle of organizing a war against the Antianna, to eliminate the threat they pose to the Confederacy''s trading routes. Archer suspects Sen has other motives as well. He also suspects that there is a reason for the Antianna''s seemingly hostile posture. But with the assembled races of an entire sector against him, he needs more than just suspicions. He needs facts. And only one woman can give them to him: Ensign Hoshi Sato. If she can translate the Antianna language, peace may just be possible. If not, war -- a devastating sector-wide war -- will soon result.
