The action-packed third novel in the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds series based on the thrilling Paramount+ TV show.Captain Christopher Pike and the USS
Enterprise crew venture to the edge of the Klingon Empire, where they uncover mysterious subspace echoes near a volatile “flare star” dangerously located in a disputed area of the star system. As the
Enterprise diverts from its course to track the echoes, Spock leads a daring landing party to investigate the source of the subspace echoes, navigating dangerous ionic radiation that renders the
Enterprise’s transporters too risky to use. What they find are city ruins and minimal life signs, but definite evidence of starship-grade metals in a single location…quite possibly a crash site.
While Uhura continues to investigate the subspace echoes, Spock and his team conduct their ground search, first finding shocking signs of alien life and later, the wreckage of an old Starfleet cargo modules from the era of the NX-01
Enterprise. Upon further investigation, they discover the USS
Baldwin, an old warp-5 starship declared missing almost a century ago. No trace of the
Baldwin or her fifteen crew members was ever found…until now.
