  Gazing into the azure light of the sensor display, Stano looked perplexed. "None of them are crossing the border, even though there's nothing ahead of them. What're they waiting for?"

  Nogura harrumphed as he walked away. "Don't worry, Doctor. Even at the ass end of space, I'm sure you'll still find something to bitch about."
  Xiong shouldered his way through the slow-shuffling line of his former colleagues as they trudged in a queue down the gangway to the S.S. Linshul. The departing scientists and their family members were burdened with far too much luggage, all of it hastily packed in order to meet their deadline for expulsion from Vanguard. Some of them towed rolling suitcases, others portered bulging duffels on their backs. Most of the banished researchers also lugged overfilled shoulder bags, while the few young children caught up in the mix carted smaller bags and, in a few cases, desperately clutched stuffed animals, as if they feared the Starfleet security personnel shepherding the group aboard the Linshul might confiscate plush bears and velveteen rabbits simply out of spite.
  Halfway down the gangway, Xiong saw Carol Marcus, who appeared to be traveling light: all she had was an overnight bag over her left shoulder and her tow-haired seven-year-old son, David, clinging anxiously to her right arm. Xiong called out to her, "Carol! Hold up!"
  Marcus handed off her son to Doctor Tarcoh, who had been behind her in line. "Kalen, would you take David aboard and show him to my cabin for me?"

conversations.value: Lest I forget, my sincere thanks also go out to all the editors who have worked on the Vanguard series over the past seven years. In addition to Marco, this roster includes Margaret Clark, Jaime Costas, and Ed Schlesinger. Thanks also to one of our most ardent fans, the knowledgeable John Van Citters, our licensing contact at CBS Consumer Products. And, lest I not get my royalty checks on time, I offer my gratitude to my agent, Lucienne Diver, for dotting my I's, crossing my T's, and vetting the pesky fine print in my publishing contracts.
  Keeping one's facts straight is one of the hardest things to do when writing for such a vastly developed shared universe as Star Trek. As such, I am indebted to the many fine sources of information that help me remain in step with both the series' canon and the vast web of continuity shared by the current line of novels: The Star Trek Encyclopedia and Star Trek Chronology, by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda; Star Trek Star Charts, by Geoffrey Mandel; and the wiki-based reference websites Memory Alpha and Memory Beta.
  Mack's upcoming novels include a Star Trek: The Next Generation trilogy and a new original supernatural thriller. He resides in New York City with his wife, Kara.
