Pocket Books' Strange New Worlds competitions have drawn many thousands of entries from aspiring Star Trek writers. Now, by popular demand, comes a third collection of prize-winning fiction by writers whose enthusiasm for, and knowledge of, the Star Trek universe is second to none.

From the mountain of submissions received, editor and established Star Trek author Dean Wesley Smith has selected the winning stories, each one chosen for their combination of originality and style. These tales rocket across the length and breadth of Federation time and space, from the days when Captain Kirk first went 'where no man has gone before', to Captain Picard's exploration in the USS Enterprise D, to Captain Sisko's command of space station Deep Space Nine, to Captain Katherine Janeway's epic journey in the USS Voyager. Find out what happens in the Star Trek universe when its fans are allowed to take the helm!
