The “Gateways” project showcases six of Pocket Books most popular Trek writers with a very ambitious project: a miniseries that links together the four pre-Enterprise television shows plus the book series New Frontier and Challenger and the S.C.E. e-books, allowing seven different crews plus several guest stars to work together on the same project. As we learn in Susan Wright’s original series novel ‘One Small Step’, a species called the Petraw discover ancient gateways that permit travel across vast distances of space at the speed of thought. In the next generation, a mysterious species claiming to be descendants of the Iconians puts those gateways up for sale to the highest bidder, opening them all in the process to allow hundreds of incursions throughout the galaxy. Every power in the Alpha Quadrant scrambles for possession of the powerful technology.
