Star Trek novelist Diane Duane sends the Enterprise to a Federation-sponsored stellar sailing race - and sabotage is on the horizon. Comparisons between starship commanders and ancient sailors have been a staple motif in Star Trek ever since James T. Kirk quoted poet John Masefield in "The Ultimate Computer". Now, Jean-Luc Picard and his crew find themselves involved in a deep-space yachting race. Diane Duane returns to Star Trek accompanied by artist Deryl Skelton. Duane's Romulan-centric novels are hugely popular, and in DC's miniseries Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ill Wind, the author proves why she's such a fan favourite.
