Official Summary: After what seemed like a lifetime of waiting, the Remnants are back on Earth -- for better or worse. Yago has taken control of Mother and stranded the Remnants along with their ruthless enemies the Riders and Meanies to keep them company. Meanwhile, Jobs discovers that Earth has some ‘remnants’ of its own humans who don’t know any world other than the new Earth. Will the survivors of the Rock help the remaining Remnants? Or does a new enemy lurk on the horizon? Back-of-Book Summary: The Remnants have rediscovered Earth. But it's definitely not the earth they left behind more than 500 years ago. It's not the earth that was almost completely destroyed by an asteroid. Everything that's left is in ruins, and there doesn't seem to be any water or food. Jobs, Mo'Steel, Billy, and the others have to try to find a way to make this wasteland into a home. They don't have a lot of supplies. . . . or time. And there are devastating storms that stir up intense winds -- and horrible dreams. Dreams that are almost real. What the Remnants don't know is there's something beneath the surface of the ravaged planet. Something they never could have imagined. And it could give Jobs and the others the chance they'd been hoping for. The chance to survive.

Kahless the Unforgettable... For the last fifteen hundred years, the Klingons have revered him as the first Klingon emperor, the legendary warrior who united their people and taught them the meaning of honor. Myths and fables have grown around the memory of Kahless, but the truth of his incredible life has remained a mystery... until now. A clone of the original Kahless now holds the title of emperor. He thinks he knows all there is to know about his mighty ancestor, until the discovery of an ancient scroll throws the ancient stories into doubt and threatens to tear the Klingon Empire apart. Surrounded by treachery and rumors of revolt, he can trust no one—except Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Worf of the USS Enterprise. The ancient scroll reveals an unimagined past where a young Klingon warrior named Kahless risks everything to defy the tyrant Molor. At first Kahless wishes only to preserve his honor and the safety of his loved ones, but times and circumstances push the reluctant rebel leader toward a destiny greater than any he could have ever imagined.... The past collides with the present as the true story of the historical Kahless sparks a battle for control of the entire Klingon Empire. Yet even if Worf and Picard can prevent a civil war, the revelations contained in the scroll ensure that the Klingon Empire—and the rest of the galaxy -- will never be the same.
