Encounter at Farpoint — David Gerrold

SPACE...THE FINAL FRONTIER. THESE ARE THE ALL-NEW VOYAGES OF THE U.S.S. ENTERPRISE!

Gene Roddenberry, the man who created the original STAR TREK television series, now brings the magic of STAR TREK to a brand-new, even more exciting future--a future with a dazzling new starship and a whole new cast of STAR TREK characters!

CAPTAIN'S LOG, STARDATE 41254.7: The U.S.S.ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-D is en route to Cygnus IV--the edge of the known galaxy. There, we will rendezvous with the ship's new first officer and other command personnel, and proceed with our mission: discover the truth about Farpoint Station, a starbase facility built: by the inhabitants of Cygnus IV, a starbase of unparalleled size and complexity...and infinite mystery.

And the success or failure of this, our first mission together, may well determine the course of human exploration across the galaxy for centuries to come...
