Search Worlds Without End

The technical specialists tackle a failed prison facility, battle a super-computer, save an entire race and attempt to cure a virulent plague in this stunning collection. The intrepid ingenious Starfleet Corps of Engineers return with four new challenging adventures.

In NO SURRENDER the S.C.E. try to salvage a failed prison facility in a political firestorm, as the failure was due to sabotage by a group of political agitators.

CAVEAT EMPTOR finds the corps contesting an ancient super-computer in a simple rescue mission gone horribly wrong.

In PAST LIFE they must save the Evorons from certain demise when a radical faction sets out to destroy any evidence the Environs have that aliens visited the world before civilisation began.

And in OATHS a questionable malaise plagues the chief medical officer of S.C.E., Dr. Elizabeth Lense. Can she find her way out of depression to determine a cure to save her shipmates and an entire planets population from a deathly virus?

Having recovered from the catastrophic events of Wildfire, the Starfleet Corps of Engineers team on the U.S.S. da Vinci meets its new second officer: Mor glasch Tev, an arrogant Tellarite who's the best there is -- and he knows it.

Even as Captain Gold and Commander Gomez get used to their acerbic new officer, the S.C.E. team faces crises in its own solar system. A strange vessel appears in the middle of San Francisco that the S.C.E. must deal with -- aided by engineers extraordinaire Montgomery Scott and Miles O'Brien. Then they have to help the Venus terraforming team -- a mission that brings Bynar computer expert Soloman to a difficult crossroads.

That's only the beginning of the challenges for the Corps as it faces a Ferengi with a time machine, a prison colony in a black hole -- and a mission from the Dominion War that comes back to haunt the da Vinci crew in more ways than one....
