About The Book

An epic new novel celebrating the 60th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series!

THREE LIVES
A child mourns the mother she’ll never know; a scion of privilege falls into disgrace and yearns to redeem his sullied name; and a young Starfleet officer who dreams of a life lived amidst the stars receives his first starship command...each of them unaware that the threads of their lives are fated to be eternally intertwined.

THREE DECADES
On the surface of barren world KX-1 lies a secret fallen from the stars. But this desolate planet is accessible only during brief intervals, many years apart, thanks to its complex orbit between two black holes, whose fearsome gravities bend space and time. To unravel its mysteries will be the work of not one mission but three, carried out over the course of twenty-seven years.

ONE DESTINY
As flaring tensions place innocent lives in peril, three souls who have no reason to trust one another must put aside their fears and suspicions to embrace the possibility of a grander cosmos than they’ve ever dared to imagine, one in which all that we do in life echoes in eternity….
