Ref. : Novel #2
Release date : January 2002
Author : Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch
Summary : May 2151. In their first few weeks in space, Captain Jonathan Archer and the crew of the Enterprise have already discovered several new species and explored strange new worlds. But each planet brings new discoveries... and new dangers. The Fazi, whose ultraregulated culture ranges from strict conversation protocols to unvarying building designs, inhabit half of a planet discovered by Enterprise. But after a disastrous first contact with the ruler of the Fazi, Archer must depend on Vulcan science officer T'Pol and communcation specialist Ensign Hoshi Sato to help him mend relations with the people of this planet, and unravel the mystery of the other creatures living on the world.
Remarks : First original novel on the series. Double story mixing Archer, T'Pol and Hoshi on the planet on one hand, and an excellent idea of parallel role game story onboard the Enterprise between Ensign Elizabeth Cutler (whose actress has died at the end of 2003), Travis Mayweather and Alex Novakovich (the unfortunate transportation accident in the episode 'Strange New World', season 1 ep.4).
Format : pocket book, paperback (indic. price 7 USD, 6 BRP).
