Piper has come a long way since her time serving on the original USS Enterprise under Captain James T Kirk. (Dreadnought! and Battlestations! by Diane Carey)
Although she and her friends went different ways for a time, she served with distinction as the First Officer of the USS Hood under the then Captain Smillie (who would go on to become the C-in-C) before taking command of the Constitution-class USS Exeter for a five year mission of her own. Upon her return to Earth she was offered the new USS Ingram – a ship with more than one secret. She quickly changed its name and, with her old friends once more ably assisting her, she found herself thrown immediately in the deep end – a plot to destabilise the fragile peace between the Federation and Romulus. Can Piper figure out what is going on before time runs out?
