;From the book jacket:
:October 5, 2140. After a half-dozen years of research and testing, Starfleet prepares to launch its first warp 5 vessel – Daedalus. Propelled by a radical new engine designed by Earth's most brilliant warp field theorist, Victor Brodesser, the new ship will at last put the stars within mankind's reach.
:But on the eve of her maiden voyage, a maintenance engineer, Ensign Charles Tucker III – "Trip" to his friends – discovers a flaw in Daedaluss design. When he confronts Brodesser, the scientist – as charismatic as he is brilliant – eases Trip's concerns. The ship launches on schedule, and as Trip watches in horror, it explodes in a catastrophic ion cascade reaction, killing all aboard.
:Thirteen years pass. Still haunted by memories of that disaster, Trip now serves as chief engineer aboard . When a freak accident cripples his vessel, leaving her helpless before a surprise attack, Trip is forced to abandon ship – and his shipmates. As he is on the verge of mounting a desperate rescue attempt, however, a shocking turn of events forces him to confront the ghosts of Daedalus one final time.
