title: Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Fury Scorned
author:  Pamela Sargent 
description: With their sun about to go nova, the people of Epictetus III face utter annihilation. Although the <i>U.S.S. Enterprise</i><sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup> has come to lead the rescue operation, there is no way to evacuate a population of over one hundred million, leaving Captain Picard to make an agonizing decision. Should he try to salvage the planet's children, its greatest leaders and thinkers, or its irreplaceable archeological treasures? No matter what he decides, millions must be sacrificed -- unless another solution can be found.

  Sitting up in Bed and Running  
  His Fingers Through His Hair.
  
  “Sorry to bother you, sir, but we’re being hailed by an unidentified cargo
  vessel. Whoever’s in command wants to speak with you—and you alone.”
  
  “Very well,” said the captain. “I will take it here in my quarters.”
  
  “Aye, sir.”
  
  Instantly, the Federation insignia on the screen—a disk displaying a field of
  gleaming stars resting in the embrace of twin laurel wreaths—gave way to a
  different image entirely.
  
  It was that of a woman, and a very beautiful woman at that. She had long black
  hair gathered into a ponytail and eyes the color of rich, dark chocolate. And
  it wasn’t the first time the captain had seen her…
  
  Though the last time had been in another galaxy.
