In the ruins of a San Francisco still being rebuilt after the Breen's assault on Earth, a Starfleet Corps of Engineers away team pulls a strange crystalline artifact from the wreckage — and one careless touch triggers a massive, inexplicable displacement. Montgomery Scott and Miles O'Brien join the da Vinci's engineers in tracking down what the object did and how to undo it, in what became Christopher L. Bennett's first published Star Trek fiction.
