The Ashes of Eden (comic)

==Summary==
;From the back cover
:Somewhere on the Klingon frontier lies the heart of a secret weapon. It is known as the Children of Heaven. Many believe possessing it will make you immortal, invincible, unconquerable.
:The people of Chal believe their planet is doomed. Once their home was a paradise; now their very existence is threatened. They send out one exceptional woman to seek a defender, a hero.
:In the dark silent skies of the Federation, a grand lady is numbering her last days. The ™ is being decommissioned. Her crew is scattered across the stellar winds.''
:James Kirk, the quintessential starship captain, finds himself without a ship. The barren years stretch endlessly before him. A man without a home, a hero without a mission, a legend living life without purpose.
:In one extraordinary moment, James Kirk turns his back on everything he has ever known. He becomes the hero that the Chal seek. That act entangles him in a web of intrigue that reaches from the halls of Starfleet to the home world of the Klingon High Council — sealing James Kirk's fate as a marked man.
Shortly after the Khitomer Conference (), James T. Kirk decides to resign from Starfleet as his old Starfleet Academy nemesis Androvar Drake is appointed commander-in-chief of Starfleet Command. Lacking any drive in his life, Kirk accepts a last chance for adventure with the seductive young Teilani who wants him to protect her paradise planet; so Kirk and Scotty take the mothballed USS Enterprise-A and head for Chal where a secret Starfleet cabal seek to exploit the planet for all its fountain of youth properties. The rest of the former Enterprise crew hitch a ride on Hikaru Sulu's and together the crew once again save the universe. The Enterprise-A is destroyed while defending the Excelsior from Klingon battle cruisers under the direction of Admiral Drake.
