The final entry in the epic that has redefined the Federation. Captains Sato and Kirk have put aside their monumental differences. Zed has constructed an engineering masterpiece in the T’Galatheon Gate. All those who remain true to Starfleet’s ideals have miraculously gathered in one place, and they are prepared to hunker down within the Gate’s singularity to finally rebuild what they lost in The Burn…and it’s all too late.The Emerald Chain has sniffed out the motley assemblage and is decimating them in a brutal attack. But Sato, Kirk, and the crews of the U.S.S. Omega and U.S.S. Challenger have battled to find a whisper of a chance to save their Galaxy more times than they can count. And they won’t let this last hope die without a vicious fight—or a noble sacrifice.
