A story of Kirk and his long-time associates in the twilight years of his Starfleet career. The crew of the Enterprise brace themselves for a cataclysmic disruption in space-time existence, and race against time to save the universe. Having reached the end of his Starfleet career, Captain James Kirk prepares to retire, only to find that his status as a galactic hero will follow him wherever he goes. As he, Scotty and Chekhov join in the development of a new colony on a planet in a remote corner of Federation space, the devious Falorians appear to have something up their sleeves. When Kirk and his colleagues start getting suspicious, they must take matters into their own hands as this edge-of-the-seat adventure unfolds.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Award-winning and eight-time New York Times bestselling author Christie Golden has written nearly fifty novels and several short stories in the fields of science fiction, fantasy and horror. Among her many projects are over a dozen Star Trek novels, a similar number for gaming giant Blizzard’s World of Warcraft and StarCraft novels, three books in the nine-book Star Wars series, Fate of the Jedi, which she co-wrote with Troy Denning and the late and greatly missed Aaron Allston, and the novelization of Star Wars: The Clone Wars unaired episodes, Dark Disciple, which many reviews and lists have cited as the best of the new canon novels.

2014 saw the publication of no fewer than four novels. They were the highly successful World of Warcraft novel, War Crimes; Blackbeard: The Lost Journal, a companion book to the video game “Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag”; a second Assassin’s Creed book, “Assassin’s Creed: Unity--Abstergo Employee Handbook” and The Accidental Knight, a novel set in the world of Cryptozoic’s online card game, HEX.

2015 saw only one book published, but it was a big one- her fourth Star Wars novel, Star Wars: The Clone Wars—Dark Disciple, novel featuring the popular characters Asajj Ventress and Quinlan Vos.

In 2016, Golden revisited two favorite franchises with Warcraft: Durotan, the prequel novel to the movie, Warcraft, based on Blizzard’s games, as well as the official novelization of the film itself. November 15 sees her returning to the world of Assassin’s Creed with Assassin’s Creed: Heresy, in which she introduces high-ranking Templar Simon Hathaway, who explores history at the side of Joan of Arc. Her September short story “Promises to Keep,” in the anthology Fractures, in contrast, marks her first exploration into the world of Halo

Golden launched the TSR Ravenloft line in 1991 with her first novel, the highly successful Vampire of the Mists, which introduced elven vampire Jander Sunstar. To the best of her knowledge, she is the creator of the elven vampire archetype in fantasy fiction. Several original fantasy novels include On Fire’s Wings, In Stone’s Clasp and Under Sea’s Shadow, the first three in her multi-book fantasy series “The Final Dance”. She is delighted to see her first original novels, Instrument of Fate and In Stone’s Clasp, available in an entirely new format as online books nearly fifteen years after their original publication.

Prior to her job as prolific bestselling novelist, Golden attended the University of Virginia, where she won the Clay E. Delauney Award for Playwrighting. She worked at USA Today and served as an editor at Orbit Video Magazine and The Retired Officer Magazine. She also worked as a teacher with the Writer’s Digest School, and currently accepts clients for in-depth critiquing. You can find her at christiegolden.com, on Facebook as Christie Golden, and on Twitter @ChristieGolden.

Born in Atlanta, Georgia with stints in Michigan, Virginia, Colorado, Tennessee, and Texas, Golden has returned to Virginia for a spell.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Batton is Past to the Next Generation
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 August 2003
    In all honesty, i read this book in two days. Not because it was a thin read, its because once again Christie Golden has wrote a winner. She once encaptulates the characters of Star Trek in ways few writer can, and i've read a lot of Star Trek books.
    To surmise Kirk is asked by his nephews to help in the set up of a colony called Sanctuary. But in true Star Trek style nothing is that simple. But alongside the action we also get to see the original crew beginning to forge their lives after their starship career. This is where the writers true genius begins to shine.
    She has a full awareness that the majority of readers will have a full awareness of the events of Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country' and so avoids spending large portions of time establishing a context. But crucially she knows the readers know what will happen in Star Trek: Generations. She has subtle references such as Kirk saying that he may not have much longer to go in life. She also shows the reader a character that is questioning their life when they have finally reached a point of hindsight. The rest of the crew play a minor role, but they to are shown to be seasoned space goers who start to question if they have any real connections in the universe. They are seeing a world they help to forge now perhaps not having any real need for them.
    Appropriately the book end with reference of Kirk leaving for the launch of the Enterprise B, and as the fans will know Kirk was itching to get back the Enterprise but acknowledged that it was somebody else's turn. The book remains true to this idea.
    I love Christie Golden's writing, and if you have read previous books by her you will know what a talented writer she is. The book is a tribute to Christie Golden's talents and the magic of the Original series crew that has appealed to so many generations.
    This was a pleasure to read.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Another Failure from Golden
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 July 2011

    I have a huge issue with this author. Everything that I have read by her (which is 6 or 7 books) has been poor or awful.

    Her plots are usually pretty amateur 'B-movie' afairs and have some major plot holes, but I wish that was the worst of it. My main objection is that her writing style and characterisation is what you would expect from a cheap romance novel - i.e. Mills and Boon. It stops just short of heaving bossoms...

    This is a pretty poor effort and I would really advise any prospective reader to give this and her other books a wide berth, particularly her Voyager : Spirit Walk books which are staggeringly bad.

    Kirk and crew deserved a better send-off than this...

    I bought a used copy of this on CD so long ago I don’t even know when it was. But it was on Amazon and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The person reading the book actually sounds a lot like Captain Kirk! Which really helps the mood. I love the story About Kirks family members and it really just hit the spot. I wished I would’ve listened sooner. Like years sooner.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ein klassisch guter Star Trek TOS Roman
    Reviewed in Germany on 18 July 2006
    Verified Purchase
    Christie Golden hat einen Star Trek Roman geschrieben, wie sie früher waren.

    Die Handlung: Kirk langweilt sich tödlich als Ausbilder auf der Sternenflotten-Akademie. Daher kommt ihm das Angebot seiner beiden Neffen Alex und Julius ganz recht, sie für eine Weile auf einen neuen Planeten zu begleiten, den sie mit einer Gruppe Wissenschaftler kolonisieren wollen. Zunächst fühlt Kirk sich wie ein Relikt, denn niemand in der Kolonie braucht seine Hilfe - im gegensatz zu Scotty und Checkov, die er zum Mitkommen überredet hat. Doch bald schon stellt sich heraus, dass nicht alles so idyllisch ist, wie es scheint, und was Julius in Kauf genommen hat, um den Planeten zu bekommen.

    Während dessen sind Spock und Uhura mit den Verhandlungen mit der klingonischen Kanzlerin Azetbur beschäftigt. Die hat noch eine Ehrenschuld an Kirk zu begleichen. Kirk lehnt das ab, doch Azetbur akzeptiert kein Nein.

    Das Problem wächst sich inzwischen zu einer Bedrohung der gesamten bekannten, raumfahrenden Völker aus - also fast des Universums, wie üblich - das auch Captain Sulu mit der Excelsior auf den Plan ruft.

    Die Spannung wird langsam und geschickt aufgebaut. Es ist glaubwürdig, dass der alternde Kirk nach all den Abenteuern der Vergangenheit nun nach einem Sinn in seinem Leben sucht. Der Roman füllt auch schön die Lücke zwischen Star Trek Filmen 6 und 7. Das einzige, was ich leicht nervig fand, war dass Kirk und seine zwei Kameraden die einzigen sind, die (im Gegensatz zu den anderen Kolonisten) misstrauisch werden und eine Verschwörung oder so etwas vermuten - fast schon in bester Fox Mulder Manier. Aber das kann die fünf Punkte nicht schmälern. Der Roman ist einfach ein Lese-Schmaus für Fans der Star Trek Original Serie.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good story, well-written.
    Reviewed in the United States on 11 March 2004

    Set in the aftermath of "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country", this is an adventure that deals with the crew of the Enterprise as aging, post-Enterprise members of Starfleet, mostly going their own separate ways. If that, and a lot of complaints about aging, aren't your cup of tea, then there is a definite downside to this book. But it IS handled well, so you may find it to be more interesting than you would think even if the idea DOES sound dull.
    Furthermore, this is one of those "Kirk & co. save the Federation and civilization as we know it" storylines, but it's handled better than I've ever seen the idea handled before. Most of the threats of that magnitude seem contrived, and the idea that our heroes can stem the tide even more so. But in this story, the threat seemed VERY plausible, and given the nature of it, the solution seemed equally plausible.
    One of the best original series "Trek" books I've read in quite a while.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite Star Trek novels that I've read recently
    Reviewed in the United States on 15 August 2024

    I've read a lot of Star Trek novels over the past year or two and this is one of my favorites. Kirk, Scotty and Chekov working together without a ship on a planet was an interesting change of pace. Spock commanding a Klingon vessel was also interesting. I especially liked seeing Kirk being put in a situation where he might have solved a problem instantly but instead, he made the difficult choice to be patient and put his faith in others to work together to resolve it. Watching a Starfleet Academy cadet save the day more than once and mature quickly was another highlight of the story. And there aren't enough novels with Sulu as starship captain, so I enjoyed that even though he was only in a small part of the story.
