Books like Star Trek Enterprise - Daedalus by Dave Stern
On October 5, 2140, Starfleet launches its first warp‑5 vessel, the Daedalus, powered by a revolutionary engine designed by Victor Brodesser. Ensign Charles “Trip” Tucker III discovers a fatal flaw in the ship’s design, but Brodesser allays his concerns. The launch proceeds, only for the Daedalus to catastrophically explode in an ion‑cascade, killing everyone aboard.
Thirteen years later, haunted by the disaster, Trip serves as chief engineer aboard the USS Enterprise. A freak explosion cripples the ship during a surprise attack, forcing Trip to abandon both vessel and shipmates. As he prepares for a desperate rescue, he must confront the lingering ghosts of the Daedalus one final time.
