Description:

Somewhere, in a place that is both everywhere and nowhere, lies a tavern that is only open to captains. From throughout time and space, these captains come to share in their libation of choice and in their camaraderie--and the only price they have to pay is to tell a story...

In this follow-up to the best-selling Captain's Table series of books, nine new Star Trek captains belly up to the bar to tell their tales of adventure and romance, of triumph and tragedy, of duty and honor, of debts paid and prices exacted, including:

Jonathan Archer of Enterprise (NX-01), as told by Louisa Swann
Chakotay of the U.S.S. Voyager, as told by Christie Golden
David Gold of the U.S.S. da Vinci, as told by John J. Ordover
Kira Nerys of Deep Space 9, as told by Heather Jarman
Klag, son of M'Raq, of the I.K.S. Gorkon, as told by Keith R.A. DeCandido
Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Stargazer, as told by Michael Jan Friedman
William T. Riker of the U.S.S. Titan, as told by Michael A. Martin & Andy Mangels
Elizabeth Shelby of the U.S.S. Trident, as told by Peter David
Demora Sulu of the U.S.S. Enterprise-B, as told by David R. George III

From the weekly episodes of Enterprise to the monthly adventures of S.C.E., from the best-selling novel Serpents Among the Ruins to the best-selling series New Frontier, from the past tales of Stargazer to the new stories of Titan, from the glorious exploits of I.K.S. Gorkon to the post-finale chronicles of Deep Space Nine and Voyager, come nine new stories from the nine newest members of Star Trek's finest and bravest shipmasters.

Notes

"loDnI'pu' vavpu' je" is Klingon for "Brothers and Fathers".
