    • In seguito agli scontri avvenuti quasi un secolo prima tra una minacciosa razza aliena, le Furie, e la forza congiunta della Flotta Stellare con i Kingon, la Federazione ha deciso di stabilire un avamposto nello spazio conquistato. Ma ora, dopo decenni, le furie sono tornate, intenzionate a riprendersi ciò che era loro. Nel frattempo la nave stellare Idaho sta trasportando un carico prezioso: i fantocci appartenuti all'equipaggio della nave d'invasione aliena che il Capitano Kirk aveva distrutto un secolo prima. Per le furie quelle bambole sono tutto ciò che trascende la vita eterna: sono la loro anima. Per conquistarla sono pronti a tutti: usare la loro arma micidiale, quella di proiettare paura nelle menti dei loro nemici. L' Enterprise del capitano Picard e tutto il suo equipaggio vengono inviati per fronteggiare queso terribile nemico e salvare la Federazione e per farlo dovranno domare le loro più recondite paure, quelle che per secoli hanno accompagnato il cammino delle razze umane. L'invasione continua.

    • Sudden disruptions in power and other major services sends a city into chaos. In the blink of an eye, the modern technological world fails. Is it a government plot? Experiment gone wrong? A foreign cyber attack? Alien invasion? A mystical incursion from beings beyond this dimension? Who knows? Now the noise and the bustle of the city has vanished and an eerie silence settles over the urban landscape. Within, there are stories of human violence, depravity, and desperation, but also heroism, selflessness, and sacrifice. Silence in the City is an anthology of speculative tales asking what happens when a city, and all of modern civilization, is plunged into darkness.
