George III, published in 2014<\/p>\n<p>Captain Demora Sulu of the Enterprise-B is exploring the planet Rejarris II. A pre-warp civilization existed there at one time but they&#8217;ve vanished. A landing party finds a layer of ash over everything but no destruction. Then they find a crater from an impact, which explains the state of the world &#8212; but not where the inhabitants went.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s about investigating a mystery, and also shows what happened to Captain Hikaru Sulu and the Excelsior when they went missing 11 years earlier.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a terrific story. Admiral John Harriman also shows up.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve read 15 of George&#8217;s books.
