Enterprise - Broken Bow

About “Enterprise - Broken Bow”

Nearly ninety years after Zefram Cochrane's warp flight and first contact, humans have been guided by Vulcans in the development of the first warp five engine. This engine is installed aboard Earth's first warp five starship, Enterprise, commanded by Captain Jonathan Archer, the son of the engine's chief designer. When a Klingon shuttlecraft crash-lands in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, Enterprise's launch date is moved up to return the sole survivor, Klaang, to his people. Despite opposition from Vulcan Ambassador Soval, Admiral Maxwell Forrest orders Archer to assemble his crew and prepare for departure in three days. The story is set in the 2001 novel by Diane Carey.
