A Time to Harvest by Dayton Ward

from BookOdyssey · host Book Odyssey - Admin

This text, presented as excerpts from the novel "A Time to Harvest", details a multifaceted Starfleet mission involving the USS Enterprise in the Dokaalan sector. The narrative follows Captain Picard and his crew as they attempt to aid the Dokaalan, a species whose homeworld was destroyed, leaving them to live in asteroid-based mining outposts while undertaking a multi-generational terraforming project on the planet Ijuuka. The crew must contend with a series of disasters at the outposts, the mysterious incapacitation of Commander Data and the disappearance of Commander La Forge, and a growing internal debate among high-ranking Starfleet officers about increasing military defense post-war. The primary conflict emerges as the Enterprise uncovers that Satarran shapeshifters have infiltrated the Dokaalan leadership and crew, attempting to subtly hijack the terraforming project to create a new home for themselves, leading to a climactic confrontation and the capture of the Satarran leader.
