By Michael A. Martin
To guard the shipment ships necessary to the continued lifestyles of the fledgling Coalition of Planets, the captains of the United Earth's Starfleet are ordered to interstellar wooden accountability, with little extra to do than ask "Who is going there?" into the darkness of house.
Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise™ seethes with frustration, considering if someone else can see what he sees. A mystery, closed, militaristic society, confident that their survival hangs via a thread, who view their acquaintances as a chance to their very life -- the Spartans of historic Greece, the Russians of the outdated Soviet Union, the Koreans lower than Kim Il-sung -- with just one target: reach final strength, irrespective of the fee. The little-known, never-seen Romulans appear to dwell by way of those related rules.
The captain realizes that the bond among the signers of the Coalition constitution is fragile and certain to snap if driven. yet he knows that the Romulans are opposed, and he believes they're the strength at the back of the shipment send assaults. If requested, Archer can provide no facts with no endangering his friend's lifestyles.
To whom does he owe his loyalty: his good friend, his international, the Coalition? And through settling on one, does he now not possibility wasting them all? what's the strategy to a no-win scenario?

Sample text
Archer nodded to Vance. ” Expecting Vance to start pushing back harder against Archer’s increasingly challenging tone, Mayweather was surprised when the freighter captain merely threw his head back and laughed. “My crew and I are probably responsible for a goodly number of those stories about dilithium-hungry Klingon raiders plundering the Gamma Hydra sector,” Vance said after he’d finally gotten his breathing back under control. “Spreading those kinds of tales tends to encourage my competitors to drill their wells somewhat closer to the safe green hills of Earth, as it were.
My cargo is already spoken for, so I can’t simply trade it away. ” “In the state she’s in right now, Captain, the Maru’s voyage is already over,” Burch said. ” Though Vance looked deflated, his tendency toward bravado hadn’t deserted him entirely. ” Except for the faint clatter of metal forks against lightweight aerogel plates, a sudden hush blanketed the room. The crewmen and technicians who were eating at the tables along the opposite wall made a show of ignoring the tableau, though they had to have heard every word.
Archer nodded in agreement as he studied the image on the screen. Like the few Klingon battle cruisers he had encountered over the past few years, this vessel possessed a long, narrow midsection, which terminated on its forward end at a small oblong command-and-control structure that abutted a much wider aft section, to which a pair of engine nacelles were attached. Unlike those other vessels, however, this craft’s hull seemed to display the wear of long, hard toil rather than the scars of combat, and was conspicuously bereft of overt weaponry.
