Description:

The U.S.S. da Vinci is sent to Vemlar to aid in the construction of a new research-and-development facility, run by an interstellar business tycoon named Rod Portlyn. But there is more to Portlyn's business dealings than meet the eye, as a group called Taru Bolivar is trying to sabotage the Vemlar project.

Soon the combined crews of the da Vinci and the Starship Enterprise find themselves embroiled in a conflict that may lead to disaster!

Notes

"The story involves the da Vinci being assigned to construct facilities on a non-member planet that the Federation is helping transform from a farm world into an industrial/scientific research center, and Things Go Horribly Wrong." -- Keith R.A. DeCandido, editor
