Author Alan Dean Foster brings us back to the Kelvin timeline just after the events of Star Trek (2009). Captain Kirk and the young crew of the Enterprise are on a shake down cruse to the edge of Federation space when they encounter an alien ship calling for help. Kirk and crew rush to help and they find a colony ship that had gone off course due the fact that her navigational systems were hit. The Enterprise steps in and fends off the attackers from the colony ship but attackers left Krik and crew a warning. That was you don't know what you've just done. The Enterprise then escorts the colony ship to a system with a habitable moon. Once there they ask the species on the planet if those on the colony ship can take up residence on their moon. They agree and both civilizations begin settling the moon under the watchful eye of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. But as they do so several things begin to happen which causes Spock to question the colonists. But that is only the first of many incidents. I enjoyed this view back into the Kelvin timeline and I'm looking forward to more adventures in this parallel Trek universe. I highly recommend this book to all science fiction fans.
