In 2368 the U.S.S Kansai responds to a distress call from a refugee camp on a desolate world. The away team is ambushed and injured and begins a running firefight thought the underground caverns to avoid death; or worse, assimilation, from the Borg.

As the firefight with the Borg cools and reheats Lieutenant Commander Vi'vra and Nurse Svea Bergman give in to their mutal dislike for one another and an entirely new firefight erupts...

Captain Sandhurst encounters an old nemesis in an unexpected venue. Conventional wisdom says time heals all wounds. Conventional wisdom has apparently never met Captain Terrence Glover.

What if an unforeseen incident forced Jim Kirk to remain on the family farm in Iowa, never to  become Starfleet's most celebrated captain?  Response to Gibraltar's Alternate Reality challenge.  This isn't my usual fare - it's dark, and gritty, and it hurts right up to the end...

Wolf 359: The lone Borg cube, led by former Starfleet captain Jean-Luc Picard, cleaves a path for Earth through a fleet of thirty-nine Starfleet vessels. Not a single one of them survived the attack, and over ten thousand officers and enlisted lost their lives. In the immediate aftermath of the attack, Lieutenant (jg) January McKenna of the late starship Roosevelt, survives in an escape pod.

In Earth orbit, the Galaxy-class starship Enterprise-D, faces off with the cube. And loses. Attempting to destroy the cube by ramming it, the resulting explosion leaves the cube only half-damaged and fully operational. The famous crew of the Enterprise has died, and now it's up to the rest of Starfleet... and the entire Alpha Quadrant... to deal with a frightening fact: The Borg have invaded Earth.

This is the novella that kicked off the popular online multi-player game, Where No One Has Gone Before. From an idea by Todd James.

The finale to The Fracture and the last long Seleya story I have written.

Part Three of the Star Trek: Gibraltar series.

Captain Sandhurst volunteers his ship and crew for a Federation mission of mercy led by Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise. They are headed back into the Briar Patch in order to stop the slaughter of the Son’a and Ba’ku at the hands of the Alshain. This once powerful race, recently allied to the Federation during the Dominion War, is now bent on ethnically cleansing their newly acquired territory. The crew of Gibraltar discover that the situation is both more complicated, and more tenuous than anyone had imagined.  The story includes cameos of Dnoth's USS Independence and David Falkayne's USS Sutherland.
