The Ceti Alpha Paradox

The crew of the Herodotus arises to find their future is gone. In its place a hellish landscape ruled by a superhuman known to be dead for over a hundred years. Khan Noonien Singh is back and he rules the Federation. Thorrin and his crew must vernture into the past to learn how and why this has happened.

A bootstrap paradox is when events in the past and future cause each other in a loop. For centuries it has been questioned how Ceti Alpha Six was destroyed. The crew is shocked to learn that they caused it, and now they know what happens when they fail at their mission.

To save the past, someone on the Herodotus may lose their future.
