Books like Star Trek - The Face of the Unknown by Christopher L. Bennett
In this Star Trek adventure, Captain James T. Kirk investigates violent raids by a mysterious predatory species that point to the First Federation—a friendly but secluded civilization first contacted by the Enterprise. When the Enterprise seeks answers, it is attacked by the marauders. The crew finds refuge in the First Federation’s true home, a hidden collection of worlds beyond the galaxy. The isolated inhabitants fear outsiders and blame Kirk for inviting the enemy. A failed attempt to avert disaster and Spock’s discovery of deeper threats place the Federation—and the crew—at risk.
