Books like Star Trek Vanguard - Harbinger by David Alan Mack
The damaged USS Enterprise, returning from its historic first deep‑space mission, docks at the newly erected Starbase 47—later called the Vanguard—in the remote Taurus Reach. Captain James T. Kirk and his crew are drawn into a complex conspiracy as they suspect that the Federation’s sudden interest in the region, so far from home territory and near the xenophobic Tholian Assembly, may have sinister motives. When a catastrophic event threatens the entire starbase, Kirk, Spock, and key Enterprise specialists team up with Vanguard’s crew to investigate and contain the disaster, uncovering the true purpose of the new space station and its implications for life throughout that part of the galaxy.

The mystery of the Taurus Reach is about to be revealed.
Ancient secrets lie on the fourth planet of the Jinoteur system, and three great rivals are fighting to control it. The Federation and the Klingon Empire want to wield its power; the Tholian Assembly wants to bury it.
But the threat stirring on that distant world is more dangerous than they realize. The Shedai, who ruled the Taurus Reach aeons ago, have risen from their ages of deathlike slumber – to gather, marshal their strength, and take their revenge.
To keep Jinoteur from falling into enemy hands, the crews of Starbase Vanguard and the USS Sagittarius must risk everything: friends... loved ones... their own lives. But the sacrifices they make may prove too terrible for them to bear.
