Publisher Description
A beautiful green world, rich in fertile soil and temperate climate . . . a textbook Class-M planet that should be teeming with life. Scans show no life-signs, but there are refined metals, including those associated with a space-faring race . . . and a lone city. But where are all of the inhabitants? Captain James T. Kirk leads a landing party from the U.S.S. Enterprise, hoping to get some answers.
The away team discovers a city in ruins, covered by dust, utterly bereft of life. Tricorder readings indicate that this is no ancient metropolis—it has been deserted only for a year. And just beyond the citadel lies what appears to be an ancient spaceport . . . a graveyard of ships that have clearly been sabotaged.
With these ruins too far from either the Klingon or the Romulan Empires, the Enterprise crew can only wonder: Who could have done this? And could this unnamed threat now pose an imminent danger to the Federation?

What a waste
I've read every Star Trek novel since the first was printed in the 80's. About 10 years ago, I started feeling that I was over ST because the books weren't doing anything for me. But then, a great one would come by and remind me that a good Star Trek story is a great Star Trek story. Read a Peter David novel, those are great. Or read the Borg origin trilogy, THAT was incredible. So, I came to the conclusion that the ST book franchise had turned into simply a money machine. Churn out whatever book is available every month and don't worry about good stories. And it seems to me that the authors who churn out the weakest stories are the ones still writing the most. David George case in point. This book sucked. There was no story. Find a dead civilization, find another dead civilization, battle with mysterious alien, no resolution, don't explain anything. That's the plot. More loose ends than I can count. I only gave it two stars because the book attempts to explain a little about the end of the five year mission and he does it pretty well. After literally hundreds of ST books since the early eighties, NEVER missing one, always buying them the day they come out, I think I might be done. The good books are just too few and far between to waste money on all the bad books. Very sad.
