Das Ephrata-Institut, eine intellektuelle Denkfabrik am äußeren Rand des neuen Grenzlands wird vom Kreuzzug angegriffen. Mit Gravitationswaffen wollen dessen Mitglieder das Universum von seinen diversen Glaubensgrundsätzen befreien. Captain Kirk und die Besatzung der U.S.S. Enterprise eilen zur Hilfe und findet sich bald darauf in einem Konflikt mit dem Kreuzzug wieder. Während sich Kirk und Spock zum weit entfernten Heimatplaneten des Kreuzzugs beamen, ist Sulu hinter feindlichen Linien gefangen und Uhura muss die möglicherweise schwierigsten Entscheidungen ihrer Karriere treffen.

Selbst Jahrhunderte später werden die letzten Jahrzehnte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts - von denen, die die Wahrheit kennen - immer noch als das dunkelste und gefährlichste Kapitel der Menschheitsgeschichte betrachtet. Es gibt noch viele offene Fragen über die schrecklichen Eugenischen Kriege, die während der 1990er auf der Erde tobten. Es war ein apokalyptischer Konflikt, der die Zivilisation an den Rand eines neuen finsteren Mittelalters brachte. Als eine uralte und verbotene Technologie die Menschheit erneut verlockt, muss Captain James T. Kirk tief in die Geheimnisse der Vergangenheit vordringen, um den wahren Ursprung der berüchtigten Eugenischen Kriege zu entdecken ... sowie den Ursprung des Mannes, der zum vielleicht gefährlichsten Gegner wurde, dem er sich jemals gegenübersah. Die Kinder von Chrysalis sind erwachsen geworden und demonstrieren rasch, dass größere Fähigkeiten zu größerem Ehrgeiz führen. Das bemerkenswerteste Exemplar dieser neuen Superrasse scheint der charismatische Khan Noonien Singh zu sein. Dieser intrigiert hinter den Kulissen der Geschichte als Kopf einer weltweiten Verschwörung, und schnell erstreckt sich Khans Macht über ein Viertel des Planeten. Doch das ist nur der Beginn seines großen Plans. Khan ist entschlossen, die Menschheit unter der aufgeklärten Herrschaft einer genetischen Elite zu vereinen und träumt davon, seine übermenschlichen Geschwister zur totalen Weltherrschaft zu führen.

Seven of Nine nimmt an einer archäologischen Expedition auf einen Planetoiden im Delta-Quadranten teil. Plötzlich nehmen die Ereignisse eine katastrophale Wendung und Seven wird quer durch Zeit und Raum transportiert. Sie findet sich auf dem Planeten Yusub wieder – Auge in Auge mit einer der größten Legenden der Sternenflotte: James T. Kirk. Kirk weiß besser als die meisten, dass schon ein einziger aus der Zukunft Gestrandeter eine Gefahr für die Zeitlinie darstellen kann. Daher machen er und Seven sich an das gefährliche Vorhaben, sie in ihre eigene Zeit zurückzuschicken. Doch es gibt Leute, die hinter dem Wissen her sind, das Seven besitzt. Und nichts wird sie bei dem Versuch aufhalten, es in Besitz zu bringen – selbst wenn das bedeutet, die Kontrolle über die Enterprise übernehmen zu müssen.

Versteckt an Bord der U.S.S. Enterprise befindet sich ein Geheimnis, das von Captain zu Captain weitergereicht worden ist – von Robert April über Christopher Pike bis zu James T. Kirk. Jetzt hat die Rückkehr der geheimnisvollen Frau, die man einst als Nummer Eins kannte, dieses Geheimnis ans Licht gebracht. Kirk und seine Besatzung müssen alles riskieren, um eine Mission zu beenden, die vor vielen Jahren mit April begonnen hat … Vor fast zwanzig Jahren statteten April und seine Besatzung dem Planeten Usilde einen Besuch ab, der sie ein schwerwiegendes moralisches Dilemma führte. Heute zwingt das Vermächtnis dieses schicksalhaften Ereignisses Kirk dazu, eine riskante Reise zu dieser verbotenen Welt anzutreten – die sich tief in einem von den Klingonen beanspruchten Territorium befindet!

Kirk muss tief in die Geheimnisse der Vergangenheit eintauchen, um den Ursprung dieser Kriege und des gefährlichsten Gegners, dem er je gegenüberstand, zu entdecken. Im Jahr 1974 initiierte ein Konsortium von Wissenschaftlern das Chrysalis-Projekt, ein geheimes Genforschungsexperiment zur Schaffung künstlich verbesserter Menschen – einer Superrasse, die die Kontrolle über den Planeten übernehmen sollte. Gary Seven, ein Undercover-Agent einer fortschrittlichen außerirdischen Spezies, ist alarmiert über die Ziele des Projekts. Gemeinsam mit seiner Kollegin Roberta Lincoln und der geheimnisvollen Isis setzt er alles daran, die heimtückischen Pläne zu vereiteln und die drohende Gefahr für die Zukunft zu beseitigen. Doch möglicherweise ist es bereits zu spät, denn eine Generation von Übermenschen wurde bereits erschaffen.

For generations, an apocryphal cabal has controlled Gotham from the shadows, wielding fear and violence through its undead assassins, the Talons. THE COURT OF OWLS. Dating back centuries, its leaders are men and women of wealth and influence who meet in secrecy, hiding their identities behind stark white masks. Employing science and alchemy, they sought to kill Bruce Wayne who, as Batman, dealt them their greatest defeats. Even then they faded back into the darkness, and he could not eliminate them entirely. Now, Gotham City is plagued with a series of brutal murders in which mutilated bodies are burned almost beyond recognition. Batman and his allies--including Nightwing and Batgirl--quickly realize that the Talons have returned, yet the reason for the killings remains tauntingly unknown. As the heroes seek answers, their path stretches back more than a century. Should the Owls obtain what they seek, it could grant them power that no one could counter. With each moment that passes, more victims appear. Batman must stop the Talons before they kill again.
