A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'4/5' Starburst #358 Jan 2008
'This millennia-spanning tale - the fourth in the Titan series - also has some great characterisation and plotting that surely spells a great career ahead for author Geoffrey Thorne...' Star Trek Magazine #137 April/May 2008
"I have the perfect solution for those who want their Star Trek fix - go to your nearest bookshop and start reading the many Star Trek novels...There's a universe of adventure out there" Reader's letter, Star Trek Magazine
STAR TREK MAGAZINE
August/September 2005
"Star Letter: STAR TREK lives on in your local library" [name of article]
"A lot of fans are going to spend the next few years awaiting a new series. However, I have the perfect solution for those who want their Star Trek fix-go to your nearest bookshop and start reading the many Star Trek novels...I know that some might say that novels are a poor substitute for a live-action TV series, but I disagree. There's a universe of adventure out there...What I'm saying is that the movies and TV shows are not the be-all and end-all. I truly believe that if Star Trek fans were to check out the many novels published, they would be very happy with what they see and it would help pass the time until Star Trek's inevitable return to the big and small screens."
-Stephen Parry, letter to the editor
Response: "If you haven't tried picking up a Star Trek book recently, give it a go!"

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The fourth novel in the bestselling Star Trek Titan series!

Fate: It is an idea as old as life itself. Do our choices shape the future, or is it the other way around? And if the path we walk is predestined—if the way we are to meet our end is knowable—what might that knowledge compel us to do?

Titan's travels take it to a world at the edge of reason. Orisha is a planet whose people have lived for centuries beneath an unfathomable celestial body in their sky. From the moment it first appeared, the object was thought to be something unnatural, an ill omen that has made them feel watched, exposed, vulnerable—provoking a primal fear that has steered the course of their civilization. The Orishans call it "the Eye," and because it has consistently defied every scientific attempt to decode its true nature, many are convinced it represents an intelligence that is studying their world...and perhaps waiting to destroy it.

But the secret behind the Eye threatens Titan as well as Orisha...and it holds a special meaning for one member of Captain Riker's crew in particular, whose lifelong quest to balance faith and scientific truth is tested against the harsh, unblinking glare of inevitability.
