In a single moment, the lives of three men will be forever changed. In that split second, defined paradoxically by both salvation and loss, they will destroy the world and then restore it. Much had come before, and much would come after. But through all the events of their lives, both together and separately, nothing would define them more than that one, isolated moment on the edge of forever. James T. Kirk, displaced in time, allows the love of his life to die in a traffic accident, thereby preserving Earth's history. Returning to the present, he continues his career as a starship captain, opening up the galaxy. But as he wanders among the stars, he is haunted by that moment, and the incandescence that once filled his heart remains elusive. Now, facing his own death, the very fabric of existence collapses, forcing him to race through time itself -- until at last he comes full circle to that one bright star by which he has always steered.
DAVID R. GEORGE III wrote the Crucible trilogy for Star Trek's 40th anniversary as well as Olympus Descending for Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume Three. He previously visited DS9 in the novels The 34th Rule, set during the timeframe of the series, and in Twilight, set after the finale. His other Star Trek contributions include a first season Voyager episode, "Prime Factors," and one of the Lost Era books, Serpents Among the Ruins, which hit the New York Times bestseller list in Fall, 2003. Currently he is writing a novella for Star Trek: Myriad Universes: Shattered Light, coming in December, 2010, from Gallery Books.
In his almost nonexistent spare time, David enjoys trying his hand at new experiences, from skydiving to auditioning--with his lovely wife, Karen--for "The New Newlywed Game", from hiking a glacier in Alaska to belly dancing in Tunisia, from ocean kayaking in Mexico to having dinner at an actual captain's table somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Recently, he performed his first wedding ceremony--which he and Karen also wrote--marrying their friends Jen and Ryan Van Riper. David believes that the world is a wide, wondrous place, with exciting adventures waiting around just about every corner.
He remains free on his own recognizance.

这本书的叙事节奏把握得令人惊叹,从头到尾都充满了张力,仿佛握着一根紧绷的弦,生怕一不小心就会断裂。作者对人物心理的刻画细腻入微,每一个角色的挣扎、犹豫、以及最终的选择,都显得那么真实可信。我尤其欣赏作者如何通过环境描写来烘托人物内心的波澜,那种宏大叙事背景下的个体命运沉浮,读起来让人深思。这本书不仅仅是一个故事,更像是一面镜子,映照出人性中最复杂、最原始的部分。情节的推进如同抽丝剥茧,每一次揭示都恰到好处地调动了读者的好奇心,让人忍不住一口气读完,却又在合上书本时感到深深的怅惘。
评分从主题深度来看,这本书触及了许多当代社会中引人深思的议题,处理得既尖锐又富有同情心。它没有给出简单的答案,而是将那些沉重的道德困境摆在了读者面前,让人不得不去直面人性的灰色地带。我特别赞赏作者的勇气,敢于描绘那些不那么“光鲜亮丽”的真实人性,即便是主角,也充满了缺陷和矛盾,这使得角色更加立体和可信。每一次对社会现象的剖析,都像一把精准的手术刀,切开了虚伪的表皮,直达问题的核心。读完之后,我感到一种强烈的震撼,它迫使我重新审视自己对世界和他人的基本认知。
评分这本书的语言风格独树一帜,充满了诗意和哲思,读起来有一种沉浸式的体验。作者似乎对文字有着近乎偏执的掌控力,每一个词语的选择、每一个句子的断句,都经过了精心的打磨,达到了韵律与意义的完美结合。阅读过程中,我常常需要停下来,细细回味那些富有哲理的段落,它们像是散落在书页间的珍珠,闪耀着智慧的光芒。不同于市面上许多快餐式的阅读体验,这本书要求读者投入时间和精力去品味,去感受字里行间流淌的情感暗流。它不是那种一眼就能看透的通俗小说,而是一部需要反复咀嚼、细细品味的文学作品,每一次重读都会有新的感悟。
评分这部作品的结构布局堪称一绝,作者巧妙地运用了非线性的叙事手法,将过去、现在与未来的碎片交织在一起,构建了一个复杂而又引人入胜的故事迷宫。初读时可能会感到有些错乱,但随着情节的层层展开,那些看似无关的线索逐渐汇聚,最终形成一个震撼人心的整体。这种叙事上的大胆尝试,极大地增强了故事的深度和厚度,迫使读者主动参与到故事的构建之中,去拼凑和理解人物的动机与命运的轨迹。我必须承认,在某些转折点上,我完全没有预料到接下来的发展,作者的想象力和叙事技巧完全超出了我的预期。
评分这本书的氛围营造达到了令人窒息的程度,无论是背景设定还是情绪基调,都透露着一股独特的、难以言喻的压抑感和宿命感。作者似乎精通于运用感官描写来调动读者的情绪,无论是空气中弥漫的尘土味,还是远方传来的模糊声响,都构建了一个极其真实的场景。这种沉浸式的体验,让读者仿佛身处其中,亲身感受着角色所经历的煎熬与挣扎。它不是那种读完后让人感到轻松愉快的作品,相反,它会长时间地停留在你的脑海中,像一个挥之不去的梦魇,提醒着你故事中蕴含的沉重力量。这种持久的影响力,恰恰证明了作者卓越的叙事功力。
