The Kobayashi Maru by Julia Ecklar Pdf

A freak shuttlecraft accident -- and suddenly Captain Kirk and most of his senior officers find themselves adrift in space, with no hope of rescue, no hope of repairing their craft, or restoring communications -- with nothing, in short but time on their hands. Time enough for each to tell the story of the Kobayashi Maru -- the Starfleet Academy test given to command cadets. Nominally a tactical exercise, the Kobayashi Maru is in fact a test of character revealed in the choices each man makes -- and does not make. Discover now how Starfleet Cadets Kirk, Chekov, Scotty, and Sulu each faced the Kobayashi Maru...and became in turn Starfleet officers.

Kobayashi Maru by Michael A. Martin,Andy Mangels Pdf

To protect the cargo ships essential to the continuing existence of the fledgling Coalition of Planets, the captains of the United Earth's Starfleet are ordered to interstellar picket duty, with little more to do than ask "Who goes there?" into the darkness of space. Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise™ seethes with frustration, wondering if anyone else can see what he sees. A secret, closed, militaristic society, convinced that their survival hangs by a thread, who view their neighbors as a threat to their very existence -- the Spartans of ancient Greece, the Russians of the old Soviet Union, the Koreans under Kim Il-sung -- with only one goal: attain ultimate power, no matter the cost. The little-known, never-seen Romulans seem to live by these same principles. The captain realizes that the bond between the signers of the Coalition charter is fragile and likely to snap if pushed. But he knows that the Romulans are hostile, and he believes they are the force behind the cargo ship attacks. If asked, Archer can offer no proof without endangering his friend's life. To whom does he owe his loyalty: his friend, his world, the Coalition? And by choosing one, does he not risk losing all of them? What is the solution to a no-win scenario?

The Art of Leadership by Michael Lopp Pdf

Many people think leadership is a higher calling that resides exclusively with a select few who practice and preach big, complex leadership philosophies. But as this practical book reveals, what’s most important for leadership is principled consistency. Time and again, small things done well build trust and respect within a team. Using stories from his time at Netscape, Apple, and Slack, Michael Lopp presents a series of small but compelling practices to help you build leadership skills. You’ll learn how to create teams that are highly productive, highly respected, and highly trusted. Lopp has been speaking and writing about this topic for over a decade and now maintains a Slack leadership channel with over 13,000 members. The essays in this book examine the practical skills Lopp learned from exceptional leaders—as a manager at Netscape, a senior manager and director at Apple, and an executive at Slack. You’ll learn how to apply these lessons to your own experience.

Star Empire is the Federation's most powerful new weapon—a dreadnought, first in a class of super-starships— capable of outgunning a dozen Klingon cruisers, or subduing a galaxy. On the eve of her maiden voyage, Star Empire is stolen by terrorists who demand a rendezvous with the Starship Enterprise™—and with Lieutenant Piper, stationed aboard Kirk's ship on her first training cruise. Now Piper must discover why her friends from Starfleet are among the terrorists...and why they insist the ship was stolen not to attack the Federation—but to save it!

The Romulan War: To Brave the Storm by Michael A. Martin Pdf

The Romulan Star Empire engages in all out war against Earth, determined once and for all to stop the human menace from spreading across the galaxy. Earth stands alone. The Coalition of Planets has shattered, with Vulcan, Andor, and Tellar abrogating the treaty. Their pledge to come to the mutual defense of any power that is attacked has been shunted aside. Horrified by how easily the Romulans can seize control of their advanced starships, turning them into weapons, Andor and Tellar have joined Vulcan on the sidelines. Humanity is now the only thing that stands between the Romulan Star Empire and total domination of the galaxy. To drive humans from the stars, the Romulans employ ruthless and murderous tactics...and even dare to strike on the Vulcan homeworld with the hopes of demoralizing their Vulcan brethren. Heartened by their victories, the Romulans carry their all-out war assault closer to the heart of humanity—Earth. But the tattered remains of Starfleet stand unwavering, with the resolution that never again would any enemy strike ever reach Earth. On the front lines of the Earth- Romulan War is the United Earth flagship, the Starship Enterprise. Her captain, Jonathan Archer, has seen his vessel of exploration become a battleship. Once hailed for his work bringing the Coalition of Planets into existence, Archer is now a pariah. Undaunted, the captain keeps fighting, searching for allies and determined to do his duty: to save Earth and forge a new federation of planets.

Star Trek - Enterprise 3: Kobayashi Maru by Michael A. Martin,Andy Mangels Pdf

Um die Frachtschiffe zu beschützen, die für den weiteren Fortbestand der noch jungen Koalition der Planeten unerlässlich sind, erhalten die Captains der Sternenflotte der Vereinigten Erde den Befehl, als interstellare Wachposten zu fungieren, die nicht viel mehr zu tun haben, als "Wer da?" in die Dunkelheit des Alls hineinzurufen. Captain Jonathan Archer von der Enterprise schäumt vor Frustration und fragt sich, ob nicht sonst noch jemand sehen kann, was er sieht. Eine geheime, autarke, militärische Gesellschaft, die davon Überzeugt ist, dass ihr Überleben am seidenen Faden hängt, die ihre Nachbarn als Bedrohung für ihre bloße Existenz ansieht - die Spartaner des antiken Griechenlands, die Russen der alten Sowjetunion, die Koreaner unter Kim Il-sung - und die nur ein Ziel kennt: die ultimative Macht zu erlangen, egal zu welchen Preis. Die kaum bekannten, nie gesehenen Romulaner scheinen nach eben diesen Prinzipien zu leben. Der Captain erkennt, dass das Bündnis zwischen den Unterzeichnern der Koalitionscharta zerbrechlich ist und unter Druck schnell zerreißen könnte. Aber er weiß, dass die Romulaner feindselig sind und glaubt, dass sie die Macht hinter den Angriffen auf die Frachtschiffe darstellen. Doch Archer kann keine Beweise dafür liefern, ohne das Leben eines Freundes zu gefährden. Wem schuldet er seine Loyalität: seinem Freund, seiner Welt, der Koalition? Und wenn er sich für eine Sache entscheidet, riskiert er dann nicht, sie alle zu verlieren? Wie lautet die Lösung für eine aussichtslose Situation?

The Good That Men Do by Andy Mangels,Michael A. Martin Pdf

Pax Galactica. Enemies become allies. Old secrets are at last revealed. Long-held beliefs and widely accepted truths are challenged. Man turns to leisurely pursuits. In this golden age, two old friends are drawn together. They seek to understand, and wonder how what they have long believed, what they have been taught, was never so. Over two hundred years ago, the life of one of Starfleet's earliest pioneers came to a tragic end, and Captain Jonathan Archer, the legendary commander of Earth's first warp-five starship, lost a close friend. Or so it seemed for many years. But with the passage of time, and the declassification of certain crucial files, the truth about that fateful day -- the day that Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker III didn't die -- could finally be revealed. Why did Starfleet feel it was necessary to rewrite history? And why only now can the truth be told?
