The Starship Rhea’s crew has just made a groundbreaking discovery: a cluster of carbon planets radiating powerful quantum energies. Lieutenant T’Ryssa Chen, a half-Vulcan with a rare talent for interspecies connection, encounters strange life-forms there, sparking hopes of a new understanding.
But chaos erupts when the Rhea comes under sudden attack by the Einstein, a Starfleet vessel overtaken by the Borg. Stranded on the planet, Chen and her team listen in horror as their comrades are assimilated above. Just as all seems lost, she’s transported two thousand light-years away—by the beings themselves.
These beings control a quantum slipstream that the Borg are desperate to possess. With Captain Picard’s mission clear, will Starfleet stop the Borg before they access the ultimate weapon?
