      The first time Jeremy died, his body was mangled almost beyond recognition in an airliner crash on an isolated mountainside. But something found him there, something that had fallen to a lifeless earth billions of years ago. It entered him. It studied him. It repaired him. And, slowly, it began to...improve him.The second time Jeremy died, the repair took only minutes. And Jeremy began to realize that, in a way he couldn't possibly understand, he could repair others, just as he himself had been repaired. An aging aunt, dying of cancer in the farm home where she had raised him. A dog, struck down by a car. A girl he had known in high school, suffering from cystic fibrosis."Healing," others called it.A "gift."But healing-even resurrecting-others was neither easy nor painless.Nor safe, either for himself or his friends.And it was leading inexorably toward his third-and final-death...

      Years before Valerie Hamilton came to Hazleton, Martin Forster's young bride, Sandra, was terrorized and murdered. The killer was never found, and now the same cruel threats that culminated in Sandra's murder are being duplicated¡ªwith Val as the target. But who is making them? And why? At first she is more annoyed than frightened, particularly since the threats are preceded by an obvious if pointless practical A fake notice of Val's engagement to Forster published in the Hazleton Tribune. But she starts to worry when friends tell her she bears a startling resemblance to Sandra. She even begins to wonder if her decision to move to Hazleton in the first place was entirely her own, or if she had been subtly tricked into it¡ªby someone who also saw the resemblance. Someone like Sandra's killer.

      Der Planet Krantin und sein gesamten Sonnensystem ersticken in einem Staubnebel. Die Bevölkerung ist bis auf wenige Millionen umgekommen und hat sich in eine letzte überkuppelte Stadt zurückgezogen. Auch der Versuch, zumindest einem Teil der Krantinesen eine Zukunft zu ermöglichen, ist gescheitert: Die vor hundert Jahren gebauten Generationenschiffe werden keine besiedelbare Welt erreichen können. Captain Jean-Luc Picard bietet die Hilfe der Föderation an, stößt aber zunächst auf Unglauben und Mißtrauen. Doch als die Enterprise fremde Raumschiffe entdeckt, die urplötzlich auftauchen und verschwinden, muß Picard vermuten, dass die systemweite Umweltkatastrophe von Aliens herbeigeführt wurde. Schritt für Schritt kommen der Captain und seine Crew dem Rätsel auf die Spur. Doch als sie gerade den Schlüssel in der Hand halten, werden sie verhaftet...

Auf den Hilferuf des chyrellkanischen Premiers hin wird die Enterprise in das Krisengebiet entsandt. Regierung wie Rebellen versuchen, Captain Kirk auf ihre Seite zu ziehen. James Kirk muß jedoch bald entdecken, daß beide Parteien ein hinterhältiges Versteckspiel betreiben.

      Druhá kniha z řady Star Trek - Nová generace. Setkání posádky Enterprise se zbytky tzv. Stavitelů zpočátku vypadá katastrofálně, ale pak se ukáže, že lze vše vyřešit ku prospěchu všech. "Vy jste stavitelé?" Než Geordi nebo Dat stačili vymyslet odpověď, zřejmý vůdce trojice ostře mávl na toho, jenž promluvil, a pak se narovnal a podíval se přímo na třpytící se stříbro Geordiho visoru. "Pojďte," vyzval je škrobeně, snad dokonce ustrašeně. "Bude nám nesmírnou ctí, když nám dovolíte přivést vás k našemu vůdci. Jeho Celoživotním přáním bylo získat před smrtí příležitost setkat se s těmi, kteří dokázali zařídit, že mohl zabránit zničení našeho světa."
