Geordi La Forge is chosen as assistant engineer on an old training ship surveying the asteroid belt, and starts seeing the ghost of its first captain.

The crew of Enterprise encounter a culture just on the edge of developing warp drive technology but are startled by the sudden approach of thousands of spacecraft from an aggressive alien race bent on destroying the emerging culture.

Kirk's new, quiet life changes when he meets a scientist named G'dath who is on the brink of perhaps the greatest scientific discovery in a century. G'dath's invention could mean tremendous strides in Federation technology, or - in the wrong hands - the subjugation of countless worlds. When Klingon agents capture this new technology, Admiral Kirk and Lt. Commander Riley are all that stands between peace and devastation for the entire Federation.

After Centaurus is bombed and annihilated, Kirk is thrown into a deadly struggle between violent enemy terrorists and vengeful Centaurians. Uhura must jeopardize the Enterprise to save Centaurus, Kirk and McCoy's daughter Joanna.
