You hope against hope that in your lifetime, evil is relegated to the shadows. But what if it wasn't? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What if you lived in a universe where your life was measured only by what you could do for the Empire? What would you do to survive? Would you sell your soul to free yourself? If you were offered the chance to rule, would you seize it? If you could free your universe from the darkness but only at the cost of your life, would you pay that price? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eStar Trek: Enterprise(R)\u003c\/i\u003e--she seized power in a heartbeat, daring to place herself against all the overlords of the Empire. Empress Hoshi Sato knows the future that \u003ci\u003ecould\u003c\/i\u003e be; now all she has to do is make sure it never happens. For her to rule, she must hold sway not only over the starship from the future but also over her warlords, the resistance, and her Andorian husband. As quickly and brutally as Hoshi seized power, imperial rule is taken from her. Her only chance to rule again is to ally herself with a lifelong foe, and an alien. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eStar Trek(R)\u003c\/i\u003e One man can change the future, but does he dare? Spock, intrigued by the vision of another universe's Federation, does what no Vulcan, no emperor, has ever done: seize power in one blinding stroke of mass murder. And at the same instant he gains imperial power, Spock sows the seeds for the Empire's downfall. Is this a form of Vulcan madness, or is it the coolly logical plan of a man who knows the price his universe must pay for its freedom? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eStar Trek: The Next Generation(R)--\u003c\/i\u003eHumanity is a pitiful collection of enslaved, indentured, and abused peoples. No one dares to question the order, except at peril of their lives. One man survives by blinding himself to the misery around him. However, Jean-Luc Picard resists, just once. And in that one instant he unlocks a horror beyond the tyranny of the Alliance. Can a man so beaten down by a lifetime of oppression stop the destruction?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Mack is the multi-award-winning and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of thirty-eight novels of science fiction, fantasy, and adventure, including the Star Trek Destiny and Cold Equations trilogies.
