Set after the Borg Invasion of the Alpha Quadrant, the U.S.S. Titan led by Captain Riker resumes its deep space exploration and discovers an aquatic world (kind of like the one Voyager visited in the season 5 episode Thirty Days). Except this oceanic world is filled with truely bizarre but intelligent alien creatures. The crew sets out to try and communicate with the creatures but with little success. When an asteroid threatens the waterworld, the crew of Titan try desperately to warn the oblivious inhabitants of the coming danger. Bennett commits the cardinal Star Trek sin: Writing a Trek story that only nerds or Trekkies could understand or appreciate. Undeniably well researched, this book is filled with geographical and ecological science. But unfortunately this has resulted in pages and pages of dry exposition filled with near incomprehensible scientific jargon and Trek's trademarked technobabble.
