Seekers: Point of Divergence (Star Trek Seekers Book 2)

A thrilling Star Trek novel following two of Starfleet's best starships on a quest to discover the secrets of a mysterious, uncolonized region.. The Tomol are a primitive civilization occupying a lone island on a remote world. Their culture is an enigma, centered on every member's commitment to a painful, fiery self-sacrifice upon reaching maturity. But one of their clan has shunned this obligation, triggering a transformation into a new, powerful life form. Answering the distress call of the U.S.S. Sagittarius - which has crashed on the planet following a fierce battle with the Klingons - Captain Atish Khatami and the crew of the U.S.S. Endeavour must now attempt a rescue mission ... even as they are locked in battle with the evolving, increasingly malevolent Tomol who, if allowed to escape their home world, pose an imminent threat to the entire galaxy.
