One hundred years ago, 4 crewmembers of the U.S.S. Enterprise™ crossed the dimensional barrier and found a mirror image of their own universe, populated by nightmare duplicates of their shipmates. Barely able to escape with their lives, they returned, thankful that the accident which had brought them there could not be duplicated...or so they thought. But now the scientists of that empire have found a doorway into our universe. Their plan is to destroy from within, to replace a Federation Starship with one of their own.

Continuing their exploration of the Odyssean Pass, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the starship Enterprise discover what they at first believe is a previously uncharted world, with a civilization still recovering from the effects of global nuclear war. An astonishing priority message from Starfleet Command warns that there's more to this planet than meets the eye, and Picard soon realizes that the mysteries of this world may well weave through centuries of undisclosed human history....

Als sich eine neue Bedrohung in Form einer Macht offenbart, die so fremdartig und feindselig ist, dass Verhandlungen unmöglich scheinen, bittet eine Gruppe von Planeten, die nicht der Föderation angehören, die Sternenflotte, sie zu verteidigen. Und die Anführer der Föderation nutzen die Gelegenheit, einen Ruf als interstellare Macht aufzubauen.
