Summary
- From the book jacket

- Even as Captain Gold and Commander Gomez get used to their acerbic new officer, the S.C.E. team faces crises in its own solar system. A strange vessel appears in the middle of San Francisco that the S.C.E. must deal with - aided by engineers extraordinaire Montgomery Scott and Miles O'Brien. Then they have to help the Venus terraforming team - a mission that brings Bynar computer expert Soloman to a difficult crossroads.
- That's only the beginning of the challenges for the Corp as it faces a Ferengi with a time machine, a prison colony in a black hole - and a mission from the Dominion War that comes back to haunt the da Vinci crew in more ways than one....
