	On a business trip to Pittsburgh, detectives Matthew Sikes and his Newcomer partner, George Francisco, stumble on what appears to be an unusual homicide. It isn't long before the case leads them to a frightening world of abuse and violence that set in motion the series of horrifying murders born of an unremitting hate--murders that target only the innocent. With bodies piling up and time running out, Sikes and Francisco must race against the clock to stop the killing -- and face a terrifying monster from beyond the stars! Alien Nation #7: Extreme Prejudice by L.A. Graf (Pocket Books, 1995) ISBN 0-671-79570-8
	Milennia ago, an apocalyptic battle was fought in the Alpha Quadrant. The losers were banished, but what became of the victors? The Federation is threatened by this ancient mystery when a battered and broken version of the Defiant is found, frozen for five thousand years, in an icy cloud of cometary debris.  Captain Sisko and the crew of Deep Space Nine are summoned to answer the most baffling question of their lives: how and when will their ship be catapulted back through time to its destruction? And does its ancient death mean that one of the combatants in a primordial battle is poised now to storm the Alpha Quadrant? Only the wormhole holds the answer--and the future of the Federation itself may depend on the secrets it conceals. Book Three in the most gripping crossover epic of all time!

	A freak shuttlecraft accident -- and suddenly Captain Kirk and most of his senior officers find themselves adrift in space, with no hope of rescue, no hope of repairing their craft, or restoring communications--with nothing, in short, but time on their hands. Time enough for each to tell the story of the Kobayashi Maru-- the Starfleet Academy test given to command cadets. Nominally a tactical exercise, the Kobayashi Maru is in fact a test of character revealed in the choices each man makes -- and does not make. Discover now how Starfleet cadets Kirk, Chekov, Scotty and Sulu each faced the Kobayashi Maru...and became in turn Starfleet officers. Star Trek #47: The Kobayashi Maru by Julia Ecklar (Pocket Books, 1989) ISBN 0-671-65817-4
	Sent to the icebound planet of Nordstral to investigate a mysterious outbreak of insanity, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise find themselves drawn into another, even deadlier mystery upon their arrival. A team of research scientists has disappeared on Nordstral's frozen wasteland, leaving no clue to their whereabouts, and no hint of their fate. While Uhura and Chekov tackle the mystery surrounding the scientists' disappearance, Kirk and McCoy search for the truth behind the outbreak of mental illness. But both teams soon find themselves in danger as the planet undergoes a series of massive earthquakes and electromagnetic disruptions. Unable to contact the Enterprise, both teams must fight for their lives as they try to solve the mystery of Nordstral-- before the world tears itself apart! Star Trek #60: Ice Trap by L.A. Graf (Pocket Books, 1992) ISBN 0-671-78068-9
	The disappearance of Andorian scientific genius Muav Haslev fuels tensions between the Orions and Andorians, coming dangerously close to full scale war. Captain Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are called to Starbase Sigma One, located on the edge of Andorian-Orion space, to patrol the sector as a deterrent to hostilities. On arrival, the crew encounters an inexplicable series of events, beginning with missing equipment and shipboard malfunctions. After a deadly transporter accident, Kirk suspects sabotage--suspicions that are confirmed by the mysterious murders of three Federation officials... Star Trek #62: Death Count by L.A. Graf (Pocket Books, 1992) ISBN 0-671-79322-5
	When a covert Elasian mining operation interferes with a Federation geological expedition, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the starship Enterprise are dispatched to the planet Rakatan to mediate between the rival parties. The Elasian Dohlman claims that the planet and its dilithium deposits are hers. But the geologists warn that if Rakatan Mons -- the galaxy's largest stratovolcano -- should erupt while the Elasians are mining its flanks, no amount of dilithium will save them. While Lt. Commander Uhura and a landing party struggle to determine if the Dohlman's claim is true, Captain Kirk puts his ship on the line to keep the two sides from each other's throats. Soon, however, concerns over the planet's ownership are overshadowed by the arrival of a hostile Elasian armada and a cataclysmic volcanic explosion on the surface that threatens all parties with a deadly shower of destruction... Star Trek #68: Firestorm by L.A. Graf (Pocket Books, 1994) ISBN 0-671-86588-9
	It began with The Lost Years, the long-awaited story of what happened to Captain Kirk and the legendary crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise when their original five-year mission ended. Now, it is more than a year later, and Kirk and his crew have settled into their new, separate assignments. But when Sulu and Chekov find themselves framed for murder and treason, the two officers are forced to go into hiding. As Admiral Kirk and Uhura frantically search for evidence to prove Sulu and Chekov innocent, they uncover a plot that threatens the very foundations of Starfleet. The web of conspiracy is woven tighter as the real culprits and Federation agents close in on the fugitives. Unsure of whom to trust and with time running out, the former Enterprise shipmates must once again rely on each other to find the truth and prevent the Federation from facing utter destruction. Star Trek #70: Traitor Winds by L.A. Graf (Pocket Books, 1994) ISBN 0-671-86913-2 /TD>
	More than any other television show, more than any other motion picture series, Star Trek has for nearly thirty years been the most popular space adventure of all time.
