Publisher's summary

An all-new novel based upon the explosive Star Trek TV series!

A shattered ship, a divided crew - trapped in the infernal nightmare of conflict!

Hearing of the outbreak of hostilities between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, Captain Christopher Pike attempts to bring the U.S.S. Enterprise home to join in the fight. But in the hellish nebula known as the Pergamum, the stalwart commander instead finds an epic battle of his own, pitting ancient enemies against one another - with not just the Enterprise, but her crew as the spoils of war.

Lost and out of contact with Earth for an entire year, Pike and his trusted first officer, Number One, struggle to find and reunite the ship’s crew - all while Science Officer Spock confronts a mystery that puts even his exceptional skills to the test...with more than their own survival possibly riding on the outcome....

Enjoyed It!

I've read every Discovery tie-in book that's come out and I really enjoyed this one, partly because I've been hoping for a Pike. spinoff. It was a good story, not great, but definitely good and in the vein of traditional Star Trek for those who feel Discovery is too dark.

Very good star trek story.

honestly one of the best star trek stories I have listen too. was a great story and well done. since it was what the enterprise was doing during the first season I hope it is canon to the show as it would explain a lot.

Pike and Discovery fans will love it

if you fell in love which Star Trek Discovery season 2 in the story of Captain Christopher Pike and how he came to be in season 2 if you're a fan of the original series this book will thrill you

A great Enterprise story

While I do not like Discovery, I enjoyed this of Pike, Spock, and crew of the Enterprise.

Solid Trek

A little slow in the beginning but overall a solid story that ties perfectly in with the second season of ST Discovery. If you lived Pikes adventures on the series, dont skip this one.

A perfect story and prequel to Discovery Season 2!

There is so much good to talk about in this book. Firstly, it does a wonderful job in connecting the canon of various books with what we had seen from Discovery’s first and second seasons. Secondly, the characters are all written so well, each with their distinctive journeys that you can practically see the actors saying the lines. Third, the story between what happened with the Boundless and Rengru is a classic yet wonderfully powerful tale of history and miscommunication, and what happens when we allow prejudice to keep us from listening to each other, and if nothing more, it shows the importance of the values that the Federation and Starfleet try up to instill and uphold.

If you’ve been wondering about what Captain Pike and his crew were up to during the Klingon War, this story will give you plenty of things to chew on.

And if you’re a fan of Discovery, I highly recommend you read this book and then watch Season 2 again, because the events of this book certainly gives you new insight into the story of the second season!

Overall, this is just a wonderful addition to the Trek books universe!!

A must read to learn where 1701 was during the war

Absolutely loved it! A must read if you love the Pike / Spoke storyline. Excellently told!

Star Trek Meets Starship Trooper

As an avid star trek novel reader I have to admit this is my first Star Trek Discovery novel and I love it!! As I said in the title Star Trek meets Starship Trooper (by Robert A Heinlein) I say this because the adversary that captures some of the crew are wearing mobile armor just like the soldiers in Starship Troopers and the enemies THEY fight are the arachnids of the Heinlein novel. Starship Troopers is my favorite novel and I have enjoyed this one even more because of that!.
I plan on listening to more of the Discovery series of books and hope they are as good as this one is.

Star trek

started off slow but gets much better. I really like this author I hope he does more star trek.

A great back story of Pikes Enterprise

Really enjoyable. Held my attention from beginning to end. Filled in a large portion of back story of Pike, Spock, Una and the mission Enterprise was on before its encounter with Discovery.
