But Captain James T. Kirk, displaced in time, must deal with a future not of his making when he and Captain Jean-Luc Picard decide to take some well-deserved time off. Arriving on Bajor to dive among ruins of an ancient sunken city, the captains join a group of scientists. Isolated with no hope of rescue, the entire group finds themselves the victims of a murderous stalker. Can Kirk save their lives and his own heart -- as he falls into the welcoming arms of a seductive and deadly alien commander who is intent on making Kirk her own ?
Now, with time running out for a dying child trapped in the scientists' camp and Picard missing after a diving disaster, Kirk must search his memories of the past to relive one of his earliest adventures. He is propelled into a harrowing personal journey that reveals the beginning of his path from young Starfleet officer to renowned legend... and a completely unsuspected threat to the existence of all life in the universe."
