The Temporal Integrity Commission was created in order to put back what has been changed, either by design or inadvertently, due to time travel or temporal disjunctions and interphases. In the thirty-first and thirty-second centuries, Temporal Agent Richard Malcolm Daniels protects the original timeline while feeling his morals and his objectivity slipping away.

This series is shaped, to a large extent, by music. Music sets scenes and orients the reader to time and place, and is also used to shape plots and characters and follow along the true, real historical figures who flit in and out of the stories. The overall theme for the series is Joe Jackson - Got the Time.

This four story series takes place shortly before and after Spock's Kolinahr experience. A strange chain of events will ultimately lead him into a life-changing relationship. Image from ST: TMP publicity photo.

Stardate 44000.4:  The Federation starship USS Enterprise, under the command of Captain William T. Riker, failed to recover Captain Picard and destroy the Borg cube.  Instead, the cube assimilated Earth, turning Sector 001 into another Borg colony world.

With the seat of the Federation now in ruin, the rest of the Federation members moved quickly, calling out to every neighboring race, asking for assistance.  The next target on the Borg's agenda was Vulcan, and while Starfleet did it's best to fend off the incoming cube, it was the Klingon High Council which acted to save the lives of over a billion Vulcan citizens, by evacuating them from their homes.

After the assimilation of Vulcan, it was clear that each of the Federation member worlds could easily be their next target.  It was then that K'mpec came forward with the might of the Klingon Empire and took the reins of the remaining mobile forces, including Starfleet (what was left of it).  The surviving members of the makeshift Federation Council voted unanimously to accept the Empire's leadership, by forming a new body of government: the Galaxy Alliance.
