Numa missão de rotina, a Enterprise encontra uma estação espacial Romulana a deriva dentro das fronteiras da federação. Explorando a estação sem vida, a tripulação encontra aparições fantasmagóricas voando nas fronteiras da visão. Logo a Enterprise tambem fica sem energia e Kirk e sua tripulação precisam resolver o mistério das estranhas aparições antes que a nave sofra o mesmo destino da estação. |...| [From the book jacket]: 'While on a routine mission to retrieve a research drone for recycling, the USS Enterprise encounters a Romulan space station adrift within Federation borders. Exploring the lifeless station, the crew finds ghostly apparitions flitting at the edges of sight.
Soon the USS Enterprise is also inexplicably without power. Captain Kirk and his crew must now solve the mystery of the strange apparitions before the Starship suffers the station's fate.
The situation becomes desperate when a Romulan warship arrives looking for the station, and the Romulan Commander accuses the Federation of treachery. Before Captain Kirk can save the Starship Enterprise from complete destruction, he must avoid becoming drawn into a deadly shell game-- a game that will leave no winners and no survivors'.'
