About the Book

Captain Michael Burnham and the crew of the USS Discovery are finding that each day is a critical adjustment to their new lives and new missions in an Alpha Quadrant more than nine hundred years in the future. Discovery is reconnecting with various worlds where the cataclysmic event known as "the Burn" has decimated Starfleet and, with it, the United Federation of Planets. As the crew struggles to come to terms with their present reality, their devotion to duty hides the emotional stress that could impact their effectiveness-- and even threaten themselves or others. Then Discovery picks up a distress signal located in a nearby star: a plea that harbors roots from their past lives in the 23rd century. The signal leads to an entirely new crisis, plunging them all into mortal danger. -- adapted from back cover
