:First Officer Una finds herself fighting to survive an untamed wilderness where dangers lurk at every turn. Young Cadet Nyota Uhura struggles in a volcanic wasteland where things are not as they seem. Science Officer Spock is missing altogether. And Pike gets the chance to fulfill a childhood dream: to live the life of a cowboy in a world where the tools of the 23rd century are of no use.
:Yet even in the saddle, Pike is still very much a starship captain, with all the responsibilities that entails. Setting out to find his crewmates, he encounters a surprising face from his past – and discovers that one people's utopia might be someone else's purgatory. He must lead an exodus – or risk a calamity of galactic proportions that even Starship Enterprise is powerless to stop...
