In the turbulent aftermath of the Earth-Romulan War, the newly commissioned USS Pathfinder sets out on its maiden voyage, tasked with investigating a string of mysterious starship disappearances in the Federation’s frontier. Commander Isobel Beaumont, haunted by memories of battle and equipped with experimental technology, joins Captain Lorcan Teague and a diverse crew as they plunge into Sector Nineteen—a lawless expanse where danger lurks behind every asteroid. When a cryptic distress call warns them to “stay away from the siren’s call,” the crew must unravel a deadly subspace mystery, confront old allies turned adversaries, and face the possibility that the greatest threat to the Federation may come from within. Duty, loyalty, and survival collide in this gripping tale of exploration, intrigue, and the enduring spirit of Starfleet.
