Synopsis:
Struggling to come to terms with the aftermath of their devastating mission to Galvan VI, the surviving members of the crew of the da Vinci fight to put their lives back on track, battling to heal old rifts, deal with their emotional fears, confront new crises, and face the demons from the past to build a new future, in a collection of stories by Scott Ciencin, Keith R. A. DeCandido, Kevin Dilmore, Heather Jarman, and Dayton Ward. Original.
About the Authors:
Keith R.A. DeCandido was born and raised in New York City to a family of librarians. He has written over two dozen novels, as well as short stories, nonfiction, eBooks, and comic books, most of them in various media universes, among them Star Trek, World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Marvel Comics, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity, Resident Evil, Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, Farscape, Xena, and Doctor Who. His original novel Dragon Precinct was published in 2004, and he's also edited several anthologies, among them the award-nominated Imaginings and two Star Trek anthologies. Keith is also a musician, having played percussion for the bands the Don't Quit Your Day Job Players, the Boogie Knights, and the Randy Bandits, as well as several solo acts. In what he laughingly calls his spare time, Keith follows the New York Yankees and practices kenshikai karate. He still lives in New York City with his girlfriend and two insane cats.
Still reeling from the knowledge that Star Trek was a live-action series before it was a Saturday-morning cartoon, KEVIN DILMORE is continually grateful for his professional involvement on the fiction and the non-fiction sides of the Star Trek universe for nearly a decade. Since 1997, he has been a contributing writer to Star Trek Communicator, penning news stories and personality profiles for the bimonthly publication of the Official Star Trek Fan Club. He has written for magazines including Amazing Stories, Star Wars Kids and FLIcK. Kevin’s interviews with some of Star Trek’s most popular authors appear in volumes of the Star Trek Signature Editions, published by Pocket Books. On the fictional side of things, his short stories include "The Road to Edos" in the Star Trek: New Frontier anthology No Limits and "Home on the Strange," the first installment of Reality Cops: The Continuing Adventures of Vale and Mist for Phobos Books. With Dayton Ward, he has written the Star Trek: The Next Generation novels A Time to Sow and A Time to Harvest, a story for the anthology Star Trek: Tales of the Dominion War, eight installments of the continuing e-book series Star Trek: S.C.E. and the short story "Enemy Unknown!" for Rocket League—The Thrilling Roleplaying Game by Playus Maximus. Kevin lives in Kansas City, MO.
Heather Jarman lives in Portland, Oregon, where she supplements her day job as a tired mommy with her writing career. Her most recent contributions to the Star Trek fiction include "The Officers' Club," the Kira Nerys story in Tales from the Captain's Table, and Paradigm, the Andor novel in Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume One.
By night Heather flies to distant lands on black ops missions for the government, where she frequently breaks open industrial-strength cans of whupass on evildoers.
Dayton Ward served for eleven years in the U.S. Marine Corps before discovering the private sector and the piles of cash to be made there as a software engineer. He got his start in professional writing by placing stories in each of Pocket Books’ first three Star Trek: Strange New Worlds anthologies. He is the author of dozens of Star Trek novels, many written in collaboration with coauthor Kevin Dilmore. He recently penned a tie-in to the cult classic television series The 4400, and is currently at work on a new Star Trek novel to be released in Fall 2010.
Though he currently lives in Kansas City with his wife, Michi, he is a Florida native and still maintains a torrid long-distance romance with his beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Readers interested in contacting Dayton or learning more about his writing, or who simply need proof that their website is cooler and better looking, are encouraged to venture to his Internet cobweb collection at www.daytonward.com.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Used. Breakdowns (2005) Scott Ciencin, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Kevin Dilmore, Heather Jarman, Dayton Ward Pocket Books / ISBN: 1416503269 / Condition: Used (systems failing, story core intact) Welcome to Breakdowns , a Star Trek: S.C.E. (Starfleet Corps of Engineers) omnibus in which the galaxy?s premier fixer-upper squad rushes around space tightening bolts on the universe while everything?ships, stations, people, plans?cheerfully falls apart. Think: interstellar IT support meets emergency call-out engineers, except with more warp cores and fewer polite helpdesk emails. This particular copy staggered into Crappy Old Books after one or more previous tours of duty, which means it is gloriously, unapologetically Used . Not ?collector mint.? More ?has been read during lunch breaks, on trains, and at least once while someone was meant to be working.? Inside, you?re getting multiple adventures from a whole crew of authors and characters, including: Hyper-competent engineers desperately trying to prevent catastrophic systems failure while the universe loudly insists on a full reboot. Captains who call S.C.E. in only after pressing all the buttons marked ?temporary workaround? and ?ignore warning.? Alien tech that absolutely does not come with documentation, yet somehow still gets plugged into the main power grid. The ongoing proof that in Starfleet, engineers are basically the difference between ?noble crew exploring the stars? and ?spontaneous debris field.? Inside this copy, lovingly retailed by Crappy Old Books, you may also find: A creased spine, like a stress fracture acquired during multiple high-tension away missions (or just years of being opened a lot). Corners that are slightly blunted, as though the book has bounced around in the bottom of a rucksack with keys, receipts, and a half-melted chocolate bar. Pages that have mellowed from shiny fresh white to a dignified ?starship-operations-manual beige,? giving it that authentic ?issued long before Stardate whatever? feel. A faint sense that at least one previous reader muttered ?reroute power to the plot? under their breath at some point. This is not austere, chin-stroking sci-fi. This is problem-of-the-week, fix-it-with-a-spanner-and-technobabble storytelling: If something can explode, overload, short-out, or phase out of normal space, it probably will. If a solution involves improvising with parts that definitely weren?t designed for that, someone on the S.C.E. team will try it anyway. And if a situation appears calm, that simply means the proximity alarms haven?t caught up yet. Perfect for: Star Trek fans who secretly know the real heroes are the engineers keeping the pretty ships in one piece. Readers who like brisk, pulpy, episodic adventures stacked back-to-back in one satisfyingly chunky volume. Anyone who?s ever worked in tech support and felt, deep in their soul, that they belong in Starfleet. People who prefer their paperbacks slightly scuffed, as if they?ve already been through at least one temporal anomaly and a coffee spill. Is this copy mint? Absolutely not. You?re shopping at Crappy Old Books , where ?mint condition? is treated with the same suspicion as experimental alien hardware plugged into a perfectly good warp core. What you are getting is a battle-tested, comfortably worn, fully readable omnibus of Starfleet calamities and clever fixes?ready to be deployed to your sofa, your bedside table, or your ?I?ll totally just read one more section? reading nook. Adopt this used copy of Breakdowns . Let the Starfleet Corps of Engineers reassure you that whatever breakdowns you?re dealing with?printer, Wi-Fi, life?they could be worse. You could be doing repairs outside a starship. In hard vacuum. On a deadline. Seller Inventory # 345
