Chief Arthur S. MacPhearson, a Starfleet security officer with mysterious Vulcan and possibly Romulan heritage, is thrust into a chaotic mission on the planetoid Detente II. Amid fragile Federation–Romulan peace talks, Mac must navigate disorganized command, suspicious allies, and his own haunting visions. As Klingon forces plot destruction and Romulan intelligence officers test his resolve, Mac’s loyalty, heritage, and tactical skill become the linchpin in preventing a galactic catastrophe.

This is a tale of espionage, diplomacy, and identity—where the line between ally and enemy blurs, and one man’s past may hold the key to the future.
