Commander Sonya Gomez is assigned to supervise a project on the crystal planet of Sarindar, helping the reclusive and hostile Nalori harness a valuable new ore. Morale is already low when two workers are killed by a monster known as a shii — a foe Gomez must stop before it kills again…
Long dismissed as a Nalori myth, the shii proves to be hauntingly real. The monster — invulnerable, powerful, and ruthless — carves a swath through the Nalori mining crew on the crystal planet of Sarindar. The project’s supervisor, Commander Sonya Gomez, must stop the beast before it slays the last of her workers — and her with them.

The da Vinci goes on a dangerous salvage mission to rescue the U.S.S. Orion from a gas giant. But as the mission spirals downward into tragedy, it might prove to be too much to handle, even for Captain David Gold and his crack team of Starfleet problem-solvers.
The U.S.S. da Vinci’s mission to salvage the U.S.S. Orion and the deadly Wildfire warhead has gone horribly wrong. Captain Gold and Security Chief Domenica Corsi are gravely injured, and the da Vinci is coming apart at the seams as it drifts ever deeper into the deadly atmosphere of a gas giant.
When a cultural observation probe malfunctions and crash-lands on a pre-warp world, the S.C.E. is sent in to destroy it before the technology falls into the hands of a civilization not prepared to cope with the potentially catastrophic dangers it contains.
The da Vinci’s latest mission involves bringing precious cargo to the Mu Arae system: an entire world that, through a miraculous feat of engineering, has been stored in a small, pyramid-shaped box. Unfortunately, a hostile species wants the pyramid — and its amazing technology — for itself, and won’t hesitate to go through the da Vinci to get it.
