It’s now up on the Simon & Schuster website, as well as on my site and Amazon.com, so now I’m posting it here for those of you who don’t do the whole Facebook/Twitter thing — the back-cover copy of my upcoming novel Star Trek Vanguard: Storming Heaven.

“I WAS THERE UNTIL THE END, MATE.
THE BITTER, BLOODY END.”

Vanguard is under siege. Surrounded by enemies, Admiral Nogura sends the scout ship Sagittarius to find an ancient weapon that might be the Federation’s only hope of stopping the alien threat known as the Shedai.

Qo’noS is wracked by scandal. Councillor Gorkon fights to expose a Romulan plot to corrupt members of the Klingon High Council, only to learn the hard way that crusaders have few allies and even fewer friends.

Tholia teeters on the brink of madness. To prevent Starfleet from wielding the Shedai’s power as its own, the Tholians deploy an armada with one mission: Kill the Shedai — by destroying Vanguard.

THE EPIC SAGA’S
EXPLOSIVE FINALE

Publication is scheduled for Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Be on the lookout for more Vanguardian goodness here on my blog, as I build up to the finale by offering glimpses into the series’ development, some of the “paths not taken”, and the various creative inspirations that helped me bring the series to life.
