Long ago, even before the days of myth and legend, our worlds belonged to them. Now they want them back…

Captain Kirk is stunned when the Federation receives an urgent plea for help—from the Klingon Empire. A mysterious starship has invaded Klingon space and resisted all their efforts to destroy it. Establishing contact with the stranger’s ship, Kirk discovers that it is only the vanguard of a vast alien fleet obsessed with conquering the Klingons, the Federation, the Romulans, and all who dwell in the space that was once their own.

The Invasion has begun…

Excerpt

“The tales are true. The demons have returned.”

General Kellen of the Klingon Empire spoke to his crew, his normally calm voice brimming with terror and anger. “They have come back, and they are on that ship out there.”

“It will take all of us to defeat them,” the general continued. “Call the Empire for reinforcements. Track that ship, but do not go near it. I will go for help.”

“For help?” his first officer asked. “From where? From whom?”

“We need a demon to fight demons,” the general said at last. “I will get one. I will get Captain James T. Kirk.”
