Star Trek: Defiant, Vol. 2: Another Piece of the Action - by Christopher Cantwell (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Spinning directly out of the Star Trek ongoing comic series, Defiant, Volume 2 continues this bold new storytelling future!

Arc two of the acclaimed Star Trek: Defiant series is collected here!

Still reeling from the battle on Qo'noS, Worf and the Defiant crew have been ordered to return to Starfleet headquarters. Despite their heroic actions, the Federation can't celebrate the crew's involvement in the fight against Kahless and the Red Path. In fact, the Federation is cornered by their tenuous relationship with the Klingon Empire. To save the alliance, they're forced to discharge Worf and his crew! With the unspoken, unwritten agreement that they'll operate with full Starfleet authority...completely off the books.

Disavowed from Starfleet, Worf and his crew set out in their new roles as secret bounty hunters for the Federation. Their targets: untouchable criminals protected by treaties and alliances. They'll take on villains from across Star Trek's history such as an individualized ex-member of the Borg Collective, a time-traveling con man from The Next Generation, and an alien gangster from Sigma Iotia II.

This volume collects issues #8-11 and the Defiant: Annual.
