Now the sun is failing quickly, and the "Starship Enterprise(TM)" has just one chance to evacuate the eeing refugees. Captain Jean-Luc Picard must succeed in delicate negotiations with the only people who can help them: a prickly neighboring species known as the Tsorans.

But the shuttlecraft didn't land on Fandre; it crashed. Now, cut off from Tsora and the "Enterprise, " the survivors of the disaster face the ultimate struggle for survival. Without the aid of tricorders or phasers, Riker, his royal charge, and their would-be rescuers must ght for their lives with the only weapons they can muster -- spears and "bat'leth, " tooth and claw.
