Selbst Jahrhunderte später werden die letzten Jahrzehnte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts - von denen, die die Wahrheit kennen - immer noch als das dunkelste und gefährlichste Kapitel der Menschheitsgeschichte betrachtet. Es gibt noch viele offene Fragen über die schrecklichen Eugenischen Kriege, die während der 1990er auf der Erde tobten. Es war ein apokalyptischer Konflikt, der die Zivilisation an den Rand eines neuen finsteren Mittelalters brachte. Als eine uralte und verbotene Technologie die Menschheit erneut verlockt, muss Captain James T. Kirk tief in die Geheimnisse der Vergangenheit vordringen, um den wahren Ursprung der berüchtigten Eugenischen Kriege zu entdecken ... sowie den Ursprung des Mannes, der zum vielleicht gefährlichsten Gegner wurde, dem er sich jemals gegenübersah. Im Jahr 1974 startet ein Konsortium von Wissenschaftlern das Chrysalis-Projekt, ein streng geheimes Genforschungsexperiment. Das Ziel ist nicht weniger, als die Erschaffung künstlich verbesserter Männer und Frauen: klüger, schneller und stärker als gewöhnliche Menschen - eine Superrasse, um die Führung des gesamten Planeten zu übernehmen. Gary Seven, ein Undercover-Agent einer hochentwickelten außerirdischen Spezies, ist von den Zielen des Projekts zutiefst beunruhigt. Mit seiner Kollegin Roberta Lincoln und der geheimnisvollen Isis riskiert er Kopf und Kragen, um die heimtückischen Pläne zu vereiteln und die Bedrohung auszulöschen, die das Projekt für die Zukunft darstellt. Aber vielleicht ist es schon zu spät. Eine Generation von Übermenschen wurde bereits erschaffen.

Ein uraltes Wesen dringt durch die galaktische Barriere ein In der galaktischen Barriere sind Commander Ryker und die Enterprise für kurze Zeit sicher, auch wenn die Energien eine fatale Wirkung auf viele Mannschaftsmitglieder hat - darunter auch auf Professor Faal. Er schafft es, einen modifizierten Torpedo abzufeuern, der ein Wurmloch in der Barriere schaffen soll. Dadurch erhält ein uraltes verbanntes Superwesen Zutritt zur Galaxis, das nur ein Ziel verfolgt: Q zu töten. Während seiner Zeitreise in die Vergangenheit des Q-Kontinuums erfährt Captain Picard, was es mit diesem bösartigen Superwesen auf sich hat und weshalb die Barriere nicht angetastet werden darf. Doch als er mit Q zur Enterprise zurückkehrt, kann er die Katastrophe nicht mehr verhindern.

Q entführt Picard - die Enterprise ist auf sich allein gestellt Captain Jean-Luc Picard bleibt nach seiner Entführung durch Q verschollen. Die Enterprise kann den Angriffen der Calamarainer nicht mehr lange standhalten. Ryker hat nur eine Möglichkeit: Er muss das Schiff in die galaktische Barriere steuern. Doch dort droht der Besatzung der psychische Zusammenbruch. Währenddessen muss Picard auf einer Zeitreise durch die Geschichte des Q-Kontinuums erfahren, welche fatale Fehler Q in seiner Jugend gemacht hat: Auf seiner Suche nach Abenteuern hat er sich mit einem ihm ebenbürtigen, aber äußerst bösartigen Wesen eingelassen. Und erst, als es zu Katastrophe kommt, begreift er, mit wem er es hier zu tun hat.

Die Enterprise-A empfängt ein fremdes Signal. Bei der Untersuchung müssen Spock, Doktor McCoy und Chekov notlanden, ohne Kontakt zum Schiff. Nun ist der Landetrupp auf einer feindseligen Welt gestrandet ... Der Nexus hat seinen Kurs geändert. Er steht kurz davor, in den Raum der Kinshaya, einem Mitglied des Typhon-Paktes, einzutreten. Nun liegt es an Captain Picard, zu verhindern, dass die Gegner der Föderation die Macht über ihn erlangen. Die U.S.S. Titan wird nach Garadius IV beordert. Der Planet ist Riker gut von einer misslungenen Friedensmission zu Zeiten, als er noch auf der U.S.S. Enterprise war, bekannt. Doch dieses Mal ist eine der Kriegsparteien schlicht verschwunden ...

Picards alter Widersacher Q ist wieder da! Die Enterprise fliegt zum Rande der Galaxis. Der ehrgeizige, aber todkranke Wissenschaftler Professor Faal will die galaktische Barriere überwinden, die unsere Galaxis umschließt und ein Vordringen in den intergalaktischen Raum verhindert. Plötzlich erscheint Captain Picards alter Widersacher Q auf der Brücke. Das gottähnliche Wesen warnt Picard, das Experiment fortzusetzen, aber Picard hält an seinen Befehlen fest. Da entführt ihn Q in die Jahrmillionen alte Vergangenheit des Q-Kontinuums. Währenddessen muss die Enterprise unter dem Kommando von Will Ryker ums Überleben kämpfen: Die Calamarainer, intelligente Gaswesen, greifen das Schiff an.

Kann Picard für Frieden sorgen? Das Pai-Imperium erinnert an das chinesische Kaiserreich der Erde. Nach Jahrhunderten der Isolation will es nun der Föderation beitreten, aber zuvor muss der Bürgerkrieg beendet werden. Deshalb soll der erste Sohn des Drachenkaisers die Tochter des Rebellenführers heiraten. Captain Jean-Luc Picard soll als Beauftragter der Föderation Hochzeitsgeschenke überbringen und den Beitrittsvertrag unterzeichnen. Doch einen Tag vor der Zeremonie kommt es zu zwei Anschlägen auf den Drachenkaiser. Und dieser scheint in seiner Selbstüberschätzung nicht zu erkennen, dass aus dem Weltraum eine noch größere Gefahr droht: Plötzlich taucht eine Armada der G''kkau auf - und die aggressiven Reptilienwesen machen keinen Hehl aus ihren Absichten.

Versteckt an Bord der U.S.S. Enterprise befindet sich ein Geheimnis, das von Captain zu Captain weitergereicht worden ist – von Robert April über Christopher Pike bis zu James T. Kirk. Jetzt hat die Rückkehr der geheimnisvollen Frau, die man einst als Nummer Eins kannte, dieses Geheimnis ans Licht gebracht. Kirk und seine Besatzung müssen alles riskieren, um eine Mission zu beenden, die vor vielen Jahren mit April begonnen hat ... Vor fast zwanzig Jahren statteten April und seine Besatzung dem Planeten Usilde einen Besuch ab, der sie ein schwerwiegendes moralisches Dilemma führte. Heute zwingt das Vermächtnis dieses schicksalhaften Ereignisses Kirk dazu, eine riskante Reise zu dieser verbotenen Welt anzutreten – die sich tief in einem von den Klingonen beanspruchten Territorium befindet!

Das Ephrata-Institut, eine intellektuelle Denkfabrik am äußeren Rand des neuen Grenzlands wird vom Kreuzzug angegriffen. Mit Gravitationswaffen wollen dessen Mitglieder das Universum von seinen diversen Glaubensgrundsätzen befreien. Captain Kirk und die Besatzung der U.S.S. Enterprise eilen zur Hilfe und findet sich bald darauf in einem Konflikt mit dem Kreuzzug wieder. Während sich Kirk und Spock zum weit entfernten Heimatplaneten des Kreuzzugs beamen, ist Sulu hinter feindlichen Linien gefangen und Uhura muss die möglicherweise schwierigsten Entscheidungen ihrer Karriere treffen.

Continues the showdown between the warring god races of the heavenly New Genesis and the hellish Apokolips, both of whom are targeted by a power-hungry conspiracy that is haphazardly countered by five unlikely heroes.

Contributors include Donald Bain, Max Allan Collins, Tod Goldberg, Elizabeth Massie, William C. Dietz, Aaron Rosenberg, Paul Kupperberg, Jeff Mariotte, Raymond Benson, Robert Greenberger, David Spencer, Greg Cox, Burl Barer, Jeff Ayers, Nancy Holder, Brandie Tarvin, Alina Adams and William Rabkin.EDITORIAL REVIEWS: "There have always been formidable writers doing tie-ins, but they have generally been dismissed, not unreasonably, as quickies tossed off for a fast buck. That image has been improved somewhat by the quality work of editor Goldberg, the late Stuart Kaminsky, Max Allan Collins, and some of the International Association of Media Tie-in Writers members contributing to this volume. With it''s helpful how-to tips and articles, the book is primarily directed towards other writers, and established pros at that. But many fans and scholars will enjoy the inside-the-business stuff." Jon Breen, Mystery Scene Magazine "Tied-In doesn''t focus solely on television tie-ins. It also covers movie novelizations, comic book tie-ins and computer game tie ins. But that actually makes it even more valuable and more interesting. Tied-In is a fascinating exploration of the media tie-in business." -- Television Obscurities Blog"This is really interesting and entertaining stuff. I was genuinely surprised at how much fun I had reading this book, and I''m sure most of you would like it, too" -- Bill Crider''s Pop Culture Magazine "I say this without a whit of exaggeration Tied-In is the most fascinating, entertaining and honest book about the writing life I''ve ever read..." --Ed Gorman, founder of Mystery Scene Magazine

"The most critical period in Earth''s history." -- Gary Seven, Supervisor 194 Even centuries later, the final decades of the twentieth century are still regarded -- by those who know the truth of what really happened -- as one of the darkest and most perilous chapters in the history of humanity. Now, as an ancient and forbidden technology tempts mankind once more, Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise™ must probe deep into the secrets of the past, to discover the true origins of the dreaded Eugenics Wars -- and of perhaps the greatest foe he has ever faced. 1974 A.D. An international consortium of the world''s top scientists have conspired to create the Chrysalis Project, a top-secret experiment in human genetic engineering.

Gary Seven, an undercover operative for an advanced alien species, is alarmed by the project''s objectives; he knows too well the apocalyptic consequences of genetic manipulation. With his trusted agents, Roberta Lincoln and the mysterious Isis, he will risk life and limb to uncover Chrysalis'' insidious designs and neutralize the awesome threat that the Project poses to the future.

THE EUGENICS WARS: Volume One is an engrossing and fast-paced thriller that explores the secret history of the twentieth century -- and the rise of the conqueror known as Khan.
