Books like Star Trek Gateways - What Lay Beyond by Peter David
The Gateways, created by the transcendent Iconians, provide instantaneous transport across the galaxy. Their sudden reactivation disrupts diplomatic relations and draws the leaders of the Federation into a crisis of unprecedented scope.
The story follows a roster of celebrated Star Trek captains—James T. Kirk, Jean‑Luc Picard, Kira Nerys, Kathryn Janeway, Calhoun, Shelby, and Nick Keller—each of whom tunnels through a Gateway in hopes of finding answers or a way home. Their journeys expose them to unfamiliar environments and unforeseen challenges as the once‑inaccessible wonders of the Gateways and the Iconians themselves threaten to alter the Milky Way.
Written by six authors famed for their Star Trek works—Diane Carey, Peter David, Keith R. A. DeCandido, Christie Golden, Robert Greenberger, and Susan Wright—this collaborative volume brings the long‑running Gateway saga to a gripping conclusion.
