Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Toward the Night
ByPublisher Description
The action-packed third novel in the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds series based on the thrilling Paramount+ TV show.
Captain Christopher Pike and the USS Enterprise crew venture to the edge of the Klingon Empire, where they uncover mysterious subspace echoes near a volatile “flare star” dangerously located in a disputed area of the star system. As the Enterprise diverts from its course to track the echoes, Spock leads a daring landing party to investigate the source of the subspace echoes, navigating dangerous ionic radiation that renders the Enterprise’s transporters too risky to use. What they find are city ruins and minimal life signs, but definite evidence of starship-grade metals in a single location…quite possibly a crash site.
While Uhura continues to investigate the subspace echoes, Spock and his team conduct their ground search, first finding shocking signs of alien life and later, the wreckage of an old Starfleet cargo modules from the era of the NX-01 Enterprise. Upon further investigation, they discover the USS Baldwin, an old warp-5 starship declared missing almost a century ago. No trace of the Baldwin or her fifteen crew members was ever found…until now.

4.0
“This was a great book. Definitely my favorite of the Strange New Worlds tie in books. James Swallow is one of my favorite Star Trek authors and he perfectly captured the feel of an episode of this series. In addition there are a huge amount of connections to Star Trek: Enterprise and even 2016’s Star Trek: Beyond that are adeptly used to both enhance the story on the page and reinforce existing character arcs from the series. Well done.”
“Fun! Really a good adventure!”
