This picks up where A TIME TO BE BORN left off. Picard, deemed guilty of cold-bloodedly destroying an ally's ship is kept for psychiatric observation, which makes him absolutely stir crazy. The woman in charge of him is a young woman named Colleen Cabot. Riker is put in temporary command of the Enterprise.
When more evidence is put forth that Picard did indeed do the right thing the Enterprise is sent back to that region of space where the confrontation happened, in order to find an entity that's able to mimic and take the shape of entire spaceships as takes their energy and destroys them.Wesley Crusher reveals himself first to his mother and then to the rest of the crew. He's now a being called a Traveler, able to go anywhere in the universe where he wishes by mere thought. He tries to influence the events that are affecting the Enterprise but in the end has to take a hands on approach to saving his old ship and her crew. But by directly changing events he's in danger of losing his new powers-and it's a sacrifice he's willing to make. Along the way he falls in love with a young woman, the psychiatrist who is legally in charge of Picard while he's still under observation. Of course, in the end they find the shape-changing creature and destroy it, Picard is reinstated as Captain and we find out what ultimately happens to Wesley Crusher, a long absent character from the series.Written by John Vornholt
