Books like Star Trek The Next Generation - The Buried Age by Christopher L. Bennett
Jean‑Luc Picard’s name is legendary for commanding the USS Stargazer and later the flagship Enterprise. Yet the nine years leading up to the Enterprise’s maiden mission to Farpoint Station have long been shrouded in mystery. The story uncovers that decade, beginning with the loss of the Stargazer and a brutal court‑martial that made Picard question his future in Starfleet.
Undeterred, Picard turns to his passion for archaeology and ventures into a buried age of ancient galactic history. There he awakens a remarkable woman frozen in time since before Earth's dinosaurs. This living survivor, an immortal with a secret of cataclysmic scale, sets Picard on a perilous path:
With the help of a brilliant but naïve android, an insightful Betazoid, and an enigmatic El‑Aurian, Picard confronts passion, betrayal, and the farthest reaches of explored space—all while attempting to prevent the ancient survivor’s dangerous plans.
