Stargazer: Progenitor

Continuing the adventures of Captain Picard's first command!

Summary

 * From the book jacket:
 * Thirty years before the days of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Captain Jean-Luc Picard was thrust unexpectedly into command of another proud vessel: the USS Stargazer. Surrounded by a crew he doesn't entirely know or trust, the young Picard must answer the challenges of leadership...


 * While Picard and his senior staff accompany Chief Engineer Simenon to his homeworld of Gnala to undergo a ritual, his second officer, Elizabeth Wu, is left in command of the Stargazer. Responding to a distress call from a nearby star system, Wu finds herself in the middle of a mystery involving a damaged ship and a peculiar interstellar phenomenon – one that threatens to destroy the Stargazer if she can't learn its secret.


 * Meanwhile, on Gnala, Picard must help his friend undergo the ritual – and find out who is trying to sabotage their chances of completing it before they're all killed!
