Star Trek: Destiny

Gods of night, mere mortals, and lost souls.

• 4.5 • 97 Ratings

Publisher Description

The omnibus edition of an epic crossover trilogy uniting characters from every corner of the Star Trek universe, and revealing the shocking origin and final fate of the Federation's most dangerous enemy--the Borg. DESTINY #1: GODS OF NIGHT THE BORG RETURN—WITH A VENGEANCE. Blitzkrieg attacks by the Borg leave entire worlds aflame. No one knows how they are slipping past Starfleet’s defenses, so Captain Picard and the crew of the Enterprise have to find out—and put a stop to it. Thousands of light-years away, Captain Riker and the crew of the Titan follow bizarre energy pulses to a mysterious, hidden world. But what they find there is a figure out of history: a Starfleet captain long thought dead. At the same time, in the Gamma Quadrant, a new captain and her crew investigate the wreck of the Earth starship Columbia NX-02, missing in action for more than two centuries. Four starships. Four captains. Four lives about to intersect—and discover their shared Destiny. DESTINY #2: MERE MORTALS IT’S A CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS. The Borg have found a secret passage through subspace and are using it to attack the Federation. But the passage is one of many that the Enterprise crew finds inside a nebula, and Captain Picard and Captain Dax must find the right one—and lead a counterstrike to stop the impending Borg invasion. Meanwhile, Captain Riker and the Titan’s crew are held captive by the reclusive and powerful aliens known as the Caeliar. The Titan’s freedom hinges on the action of fellow prisoner Erika Hernandez, commander of the long-lost Earth starship Columbia. Hernandez has lived among the Caeliar for centuries—enduring disasters, accidental time-travel, and interstellar exile. After so long as their prisoner, will she dare to fight for her freedom? Or is an eternity in captivity her inescapable Destiny? DESTINY #3: LOST SOULS THE FINAL BATTLE HAS BEGUN. An armada of several thousand Borg cubes has wiped out a fleet of ships sent by the Federation and its allies. The Collective’s goal this time isn’t assimilation—it’s extermination. Captain Picard, Captain Riker, and Captain Ezri Dax unite in a final desperate bid to halt the Borg’s genocidal march through known space. But their three starships—the Enterprise, the Titan, and the Aventine—are no match for the Borg armada. Or are they? With them is Erika Hernandez, former captain of the Columbia. She has powers and insight gained from centuries of living with the aliens known as the Caeliar. She can end the Borg threat forever—or transform it into an unstoppable menace that will devour the galaxy. Destruction or salvation—only one can be her final Destiny.

Customer Reviews

Simply a classic.

David Mack has written a modern day Star Trek classic with this ultimate final confrontation with the Borg!

An epic saga with one minor annoyance

Mack tells an epic tale that spans millennia and the range of human emotion. I love how he jumps around from starship to starship and perspective to perspective; it all works together and adds many dimensions to a story that revolves around....well...destiny. The only criticism I have about books by this author is the constant need to describe how attractive the women are at every opportunity, even when the scene is a firefight and billions of lives hang in the balance. I get it, they're attractive. It's a bit distracting but it's a small complaint in an otherwise compelling work that is hard to put down.

Great read!

Great read! Interesting twists. I thoroughly enjoined this trilogy.

Star Trek: Destiny

Collected omnibus edition cover image.

Star Trek: Destiny is a trilogy of novels by David Mack released late in 2008 .

• 1 Description
• 2.1 Translations
• 3.2 Connections
• 3.3 External link

Description [ ]

The series is a crossover featuring elements from Star Trek 's : The Next Generation , Titan , Deep Space Nine , Voyager and "elements from Trek’s past" (referencing Star Trek: Enterprise ' ), "coming together in an ambitious tale that will shape the future of the Star Trek universe".

The trilogy also features the Bacco administration from the novel Articles of the Federation , and makes references to the crews of the USS Excalibur from Star Trek: New Frontier , and the USS da Vinci from the Corps of Engineers series.

The trilogy is a continuation of the arc of Borg stories begun in the TNG relaunch , set in February of 2381 following the events of the TNG novel : Greater Than the Sum . The story also draws inspiration from an image from the 2007 Ships of the Line calendar which showed the wreckage of the Columbia (NX-02) being inspected by 24th century Starfleet personnel.

The trilogy has a significant impact on the Star Trek universe, which is followed up on in four subsequent books: A Singular Destiny by Keith R.A. DeCandido , deals with the political fallout of the trilogy; Full Circle by Kirsten Beyer , which fills in the gap between the previous Voyager novel Enemy of My Enemy and Destiny and establishes a new direction for that series; Over a Torrent Sea by Christopher L. Bennett , in which the Titan crew return to their mission of exploration; and Losing the Peace by William Leisner , a TNG novel dealing with the immediate aftermath within the Federation. Rough Beasts of Empire begins at the end of the series, and reveals where Benjamin Sisko was during the invasion.
