Product Description
Just as swiftly, the probe implodes and crashes on the planet surface, but the remnants provide no clue as to its origin. Who are the attackers, and what provoked them?
Aboard the Starship Enterprise™, Captain Jonathan Archer learns of the destruction. His ship is called home; it is uncertain whether its mission of space exploration will continue.
But before Enterprise reaches Earth, Archer is abruptly kidnaped from the bridge by the time-traveling enemies he has encountered before. He finds himself aboard a Suliban vessel, face-to-face with his old nemesis, Silik, a high-ranking indiviual in a battle known only as the Temporal Cold War. Silik leads him to his master, a mysterious humanoid from the far future.
The humanoid claims that the attack on Earth was just a test; and the next attack will destroy Archer's home planet...unless he and the Enterprise crew stop it.
To do so, they must enter a region of space called The Expanse - an area so dangerous that no ship has ever emerged from it unscathed. Vulcan crews were driven to bloodthirsty madness, Klingon crews were anatomically inverted, their internal organs exposed outside their bodies...while they still lived. Many vessels were lost, never to be heard from again.
Archer faces the greatest crisis of his career: Should he believe Silik's time-traveling master, and expose his ship and crew to the perils of The Expanse, in hopes of saving Earth from destruction? And can he convince Starfleet Command and the Vulcan High Council to let Enterprise go to face her biggest challenge?
About the Author
She is the author of a plethora of Star Trek™ books; as Jeanne Kalogridis(her evil alter-ego), she is the author of the acclaimed Diaries of the Family Dracul trilogy, and the historical fantasy The Burning Times.
He was a Xindi warrior, of his culture's highest class, and out of a sense of decorum he had worn his ceremonial armor on this, his last mission, though he would not need it, and though it could not protect him from his fate. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic book version of the series episodes!,
By
This review is from: The Star Trek: Enterprise: The Expanse (Paperback)
And especially interesting because of the Xinti, who, as anyone who watches the television series, knows are responsible for millions of dead humans on Earth. As fascinating as "The Expanse" episodes were, this novel brings the newest addition to the Star Trek legacy out in ways only a novel can. This book following the ENTERPRISE and company ranks with other sci-fi books: "Stranger in a Strange Land", "Puppet Masters", "2001", "2010", "Rendezvous with Rama", "Ringworld", all the "Star Trek" novels of course and all "Star Wars" books too, as well as books as new to the genre as "Advent of the Corps" and others.

ST - Enterprise: The Expanse,
By Joe Zika "Khemprof" (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Star Trek: Enterprise: The Expanse (Paperback)
Star Trek - Enterprise: "The Expanse" a novelization by J.M. Dillard based on the episodes "The Expanse" and "The Xindi" written by Rich Berman and Brannon Braga follows these episodes quite well. I saw the episodes after I read the book and I must say that I enjoyed the book much better."The Expanse" starts out with a partial destruction of Earth as seven million people die from Florida, to Cuba, to Venezuela and that a probe from the planet Xindi is to blame. As this probe crashes to Earth, Archer and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC NX-01 are being recalled to Earth and are refitted for a rather gruelling mission. "The Expanse" has good charater interaction and you get a good feeling that you begin to interact with the crew when reading this book. There is good character involvement between Jonathan Archer and his crew as they are in spacedock around Earth and the interaction to the next mission. As the Enterpise and her crew are coming to Earth they are intercepted by a Suliban ship from the future and yes, who else but Silik is the one to bring Archer aboard his ship to hear "a humanoid" from the future tell Archer what's in store for the Earth. "The Expanse" moves along quite quickly and you'll find that you've finished the book in short order as the NX-01 is sent to the Delphic Expanse to find the homeworld of the Xindi. The Xindi are a race of 5 different species all of which are intelligent... primate, reptilian, marsupial, insectoid and sea creatures simular to a dolphin. All of the races work together in a government simular to a republic, but they've been tipped as to what happens to their homeworld in 400 years in the future and there is a temporal rift that may occur. I enjoyed this book as it was a quick read and highly entertaining I gave this book a 4 star rating for its entertainment value and I would suggest that you read the book before you see the episodic television. You'll appreciate the action-adventure much better. All in all, the was an adventure where there is a crisis and Archer must make decissions that will affect the crew and the future of Earth.

Archer and crew sets out to stop the Xindi,
By
This review is from: The Star Trek: Enterprise: The Expanse (Paperback)
After much bashing by media crtics and some fans the Enterprise series finally decides to go where no man has gone before with an urgent mission to stop an enigmatic race called the Xindi from destroying Earth.After Earth is ravaged and 7 million are dead the Enterrpise (NX-01)is recalled to Earth by Starfleet. But before that they must first deal with the Renegade Klingon named Duras who wants revenge from Capt. Archer. The story then focuses on the NX-01's journey to find a Xindi who may be able to aid them in locating the Xindi. I wont give the rest of the story away so go watch the episode or read the book. Just remember this series is not as bad as everyone says and that now I believe the stories will be more ambitious and live up to all Star Trek fans demands.
