Fans of Peter David's bestselling “New Frontier” saga have been eagerly awaiting a new adventure featuring Captain Mackenzie Calhoun, Captain Elizabeth Shelby, and the crews of the Starships “Excalibur” and “Trident.” Now at last, Calhoun and Shelby return in an exciting page-turner that explores the past of both captains — while simultaneously confronting them with a perilous dilemma in the present. A crewman has been murdered aboard the “U.S.S. Trident,” and all evidence points to Ensign Janos of the “Excalibur.” Calhoun is reluctant to accept that Janos, a powerful non-humanoid whom the captain has known and trusted for years, could be a killer and immediately launches an investigation into the crime. But this troubling murder mystery soon escalates into a full-edged diplomatic crisis that threatens to pit Calhoun and Shelby against the entire United Federation of Planets — and the “Starship Enterprise”™. Meanwhile, the turmoil involving Ensign Janos forces Calhoun to recall his own tempestuous past, his rocky relationship with a young Elizabeth Shelby, and a long-ago exploit that may have everything to do with the deadly emergency that now confronts them all! “Stone and Anvil” is exactly the kind of compelling and original “Star Trek” adventure that Peter David's thousands of fans have come to expect from “The New Frontier.”

    “Transporter room, Heisenberg here,” came the voice of the transporter chief.
    “Heisenberg, I’ve just been informed,” she said with a menacing stare at the security heads, “that Mr. Janos is running amok somewhere within the ship. Lock on to his combadge, grab him, and then redirect him straight into brig five-A, would you please?”
    There was a brief pause and then his voice came back, sounding regretful. “We’ve got a lock on his combadge, Captain, but that’s all it is. It’s not giving us any life readings. He’s ditched his badge.”
    “Perfect. All right, then: Access ship’s internal sensors and locate his biosigns. There’s no one else on the Trident with readings like his. It shouldn’t take you more than sixty seconds to locate him.”
    “I’m…not so certain about that,” he replied.
    “Heisenberg, I don’t need uncertainty from you right now,” Shelby said. “Can you do it or not, and just for your information, the ‘or not’ is not intended as an acceptable option.”
