"In the exotic jungles of an alien world, mankind fights for control of the galaxy!"

There are miles of transport tubes under the skin of every starship. It is the Science Officer’s job to keep them in working order. This becomes critical when: • the first Extra-Galactic Emissary gets stuck in a buckled tube, deep in the bowels of USS Skipjack. • Skipjack is caught in a huge herd of space-dragons that could easily crush the ship. • a MAX might barrel through the tubes, rip out the buckled section, and blow everyone aboard to Kingdom Come. • Armed pirates invade the ship, determined to kidnap the Emissary from the Federation. • And when standing off the port bow is an unknown, immensely powerful alien armada. Simply silently, waiting. The emissary is dying, Marik. Get it out before it dies. No pressure.

When the only child of the empire's heir is kidnapped, the U.S.S. Skipjack's captain must act fast, especially when he discovers that the child's alien father is his second officer. Original.

In search of rare historical data, the crew of the USS Skipjack go back in time to observe Earth during World War II and the planet Eisernon on the eve of its devastating One-Day War. Original.
