David A. McIntee Bücher

Die talentiertesten Sternenflotteningenieure zweier Generationen schliessen sich zusammen, um ein zweihundert Jahre altes technisches Rätsel zu lösen. Doch es stellt sich heraus, dass dieses bloss ganz am Anfang einer umfangreicheren Suche steht. Bald finden sich Geordi La Forge und Montgomery Scott, unterstützt von Guinan und Nog sowie der Besatzung der U.S.S. Challenger, in ein grösseres, tödlicheres und sehr viel persönlicheres Abenteuer verwickelt wieder. Während alte Freunde helfen und alte Feinde ihnen Steine in den Weg legen, wird ihre Nachforschung alles bedrohen, was ihnen lieb und teuer ist. Auf dem Weg dorthin, wo noch niemand zuvor gewesen ist, begreifen Geordi, Scotty und Guinan, dass ihre Vergangenheiten für die Gegenwart eine Rolle spielen. Und nun müssen sie herausfinden, ob eine hinreichend fortschrittliche Technologie tatsächlich von Magie nicht zu unterscheiden ist. Der britische Autor, David A. McIntee, hat sich seinen Namen vorallem durch seine vielen Spin-Off-Romane und Hörspiele zur BBC-Kultserie Doctor Who gemacht. Er schrieb auch an Büchern für das Final Destination- und Space:1999- Franchise sowie je ein Sachbuch über Star Trek und die Alien vs. Predator-Verfilmung. Er hat viele Hörspiele geschrieben und an Magazinen wie Dreamwatch, SFX und Death Ray mitgearbeitet. Mit ON THE SPOT, einer The Next Generation Story, veröffentlichte McIntee seine erste Star Trek-Geschichte.

Readers can expect a rich narrative that intertwines familiar elements with new stories, expanding the lore and character development within this iconic sci-fi realm.

The most talented Starfleet engineers of two generations unite to solve a two-hundred-year-old technological mystery that turns out to be only the beginning of a wider quest. With the support of Guinan and Nog, as well as the crew of the U.S.S. Challenger, Geordi La Forge and Montgomery Scott soon find themselves drawn into a larger, deadlier, and far more personal adventure. Helped by old friends and hindered by old enemies, their investigation will come to threaten everything they hold dear. Seeking out the new, and going where no one has gonebefore, Geordi, Scotty, and Guinan find that their pasts are very much of the present, and must determine whether any sufficiently advanced technology is really indistinguishable from magic.

"Darkheart: a faded neutron star surrounded by dead planets. But there is life on one of these icy rocks -- the last enclave of the Earth Empire, frozen in the image of another time. As the rest of the galaxy enjoys the fruits of the fledgling Federation, these isolated Imperials, bound to obey a forgotten ideal, harbour a dark obsession. The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive to find that the Federation has at last come to reintegrate this lost colony, whether they like it or not. But all is not well in the Federation camp: relations and allegiances are changing. The fierce Veltrochni -- angered by the murder of their kinsmen -- have an entirely different agenda. And someone else is manipulating the mission for his own mysterious reasons -- another time traveler, a suave and assured master of his work. The Doctor must uncover the terrible secret which brought the Empire to this desolate sector, and find the source of the strange power maintaining their society. But can a Time Lord, facing the ultimate temptation, control his own desire? This adventure takes place between the television stories The Web of Fear and Fury from the Deep, and after the Missing Adventure Twilight of the Gods."--Page 4 of cover.
