Publisher's Synopsis
From the ashes of the Next Generation's Enterprise-D rises a new Starship, the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E, under the command of Captain Morgan Bateson. Bateson, as a man from the 23rd century living in the 24th, sees what no-one else can see: that the Klingon Empire is building its forces and preparing to strike against the Federation once more. Seizing his chance, Bateson takes the USS Enterprise on a mission to counter the Klingon threat, only to be thwarted by his enemy, a Klingon who has nursed a personal grudge against him for decades. And standing in the way of Bateson's scheme and the Klingon's plan is Captain Jean-Luc Picard who is faced with the toughest decision of his career: whether to take back command of the USS Enterprise or to let the torch pass to yet another next generation.
