Need a gigantic, marauding starship explored? Is your global computer system starting to break down? Call in the crack team from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. Overseen by Captain Montgomery Scott from his office at Starfleet Headquarters, the S.C.E. can build, rebuild, program, reprogram, assemble, reassemble, or just figure out everything from alien replicators to doomsday machines. Just don't expect them to perform miracles - unless they absolutely have to.

Captain David Gold, his first officer Commander Sonya Gomez, and the crew of the U.S.S. da Vinci put their lives on the line to save a colony world threatened by a deadly alien search and rescue a ship trapped in the ravages of interphase. An outstanding new direction in Trek fiction from Keith R.A. DeCandido, Kevin Dilmore, Christie Golden, Dean Wesley Smith, Dayton Ward, from a concept by John J. Ordover and Keith R.A. DeCandido.
