Have Tech Will Travel

Join Starfleet's miracle workers for a wrenching journey through the new frontier in book one of the exciting Starfleet Corps Engineers series! Need a gigantic, marauding starship explored? Is your global computer system starting to break down? Call in the crack team from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. Overseen by Captain Montgomery Scott from his office at Starfleet Headquarters, the S.C.E. can build, rebuild, program, reprogram, assemble, reassemble, or just figure out everything from alien replicators to doomsday machines. Just don't expect them to perform miracles—unless they absolutely have to. Captain Picard and the U.S.S. Enterprise have defeated a gigantic marauding starship from parts unknown. Now that the immediate threat has been neutralized, the Starfleet Corps of Engineers has been called in to probe the vanquished hulk in search of both new technology and the secret of its mysterious origin. Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge temporarily transfers from the Enterprise to assist Captain David Gold and the crew of the S.C.E. ship, the U.S.S. da Vinci on this fascinating mission. La Forge works with Gold, Gold's first officer Sonya Gomez, and a top-of-the-line group of technical specialists to unravel the high-tech mysteries of the supposedly dead alien vessel, only to discover that the real danger has just begun!
