Star Trek: Titan — Sight Unseen<\/strong> by James Swallow, published in 2015<\/p>\n Admiral Riker wants to take his ship the Titan back out to deep space on an exploration mission. But Fleet Admiral Akaar has a different plan — Riker is now sector commander, Alpha Quadrant frontier zone. While on their way they receive a distress call from the Dinac, whose ships are made of wood. Commander Vale is given a promotion to captain, and a new first officer is brought aboard — Commander Sarai, who everyone distrusts because of her work with disgraced President Ishan.<\/p>\n This action-packed story features Riker, Troi, Tuvok, and Melora Pazlar.<\/p>\n It’s about interacting with beings very different from you.<\/p>\n The aliens from the scariest episode of The Next Generation<\/strong> are back — the ones from subspace who kidnap people in their sleep.<\/p>\n The previous novel in the story of the 24th century is Star Trek: DS9 \u2014 Sacraments of Fire<\/strong><\/a>.
