Eine neue, epische Trilogie, die ihren Anfang während dem Film mit der Originalbesatzung - "Auf der Suche nach Mr. Spock" - nimmt, und sich bis in "The Next Generation" erstreckt! In dieser ein Jahrhundert umspannenden Trilogie ist Rache wirklich ein Gericht, das am besten kalt serviert wird. Die Allianz zwischen den Klingonen und der Föderation steht auf Messers Schneide. Die Unbesungenen, ein klingonischer Kult, wüten durch die Galaxis, schlagen im Schutz ihrer getarnten Bird-of-Preys zu.

Als 2285 der klingonische Commander Kruge im Kampf gegen James T. Kirk auf dem Genesis-Planeten fiel, stürzte das ein mächtiges Haus ins Chaos - und es blieben einige tickende Zeitbomben zurück: Das Phantomgeschwader, eine geheime Einheit fortschrittlicher Bird-of-Preys; eine verschworene Gruppe loyaler Offiziere, die sein Erbe bewahren wollten; und der junge Korgh, sein abgesetzter Erbe, der bereit war, ein ganzes klingonisches Leben lang auf seine Vergeltung zu warten.

Hearing of the outbreak of hostilities between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire, Captain Christopher Pike attempts to bring the U.S.S. Enterprise home to join in the fight. But in the hellish nebula known as the Pergamum, the stalwart commander instead finds an epic battle of his own, pitting ancient enemies against one another - with not just the Enterprise, but her crew as the spoils of war.

The Klingon-Federation alliance is in peril as never before. Lord Korgh has seized control of the House of Kruge, executing a plot 100 years in the making. The Klingon cult known as the Unsung rampages across the stars, striking from the shadows in their cloaked Birds-of-Prey. And the mysterious figure known as Buxtus Cross launches a scheme that will transform the Klingon Empire forever.

When Klingon commander Kruge died in combat against James T. Kirk on the Genesis planet back in 2285, he left behind a powerful house in disarray - and a series of ticking time bombs: the Phantom Wing, a secret squadron of advanced Birds-of-Prey; a cabal of loyal officers intent on securing his heritage; and young Korgh, his thwarted would-be heir, willing to wait a Klingon lifetime to enact his vengeance.

Nothing is new or original in Christianity. That is the important thesis demonstrated in Christianity Before Christ.

By day, his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, wonders whether there may someday be a future beyond skulking the city’s rooftops or the cavernous halls of his stately manor alongside the ever-dutiful Alfred Pennyworth. But even after death, the Clown Prince of Crime’s imprint can be seen in more than just the pavement.
