Summary

From the back cover
Somewhere on the Klingon frontier lies the heart of a secret weapon. It is known as the Children of Heaven. Many believe possessing it will make you immortal, invincible, unconquerable.
The people of Chal believe their planet is doomed. Once their home was a paradise; now their very existence is threatened. They send out one exceptional woman to seek a defender, a hero.
In the dark silent skies of the Federation, a grand lady is numbering her last days. The USS Enterprise ™ is being decommissioned. Her crew is scattered across the stellar winds.
James Kirk, the quintessential starship captain, finds himself without a ship. The barren years stretch endlessly before him. A man without a home, a hero without a mission, a legend living life without purpose.
In one extraordinary moment, James Kirk turns his back on everything he has ever known. He becomes the hero that the Chal seek. That act entangles him in a web of intrigue that reaches from the halls of Starfleet to the home world of the Klingon High Council — sealing James Kirk's fate as a marked man.
