The Borg travel back in time in an attempt to assimilate Earth in a time before the Federation. The Enterprise follows them back and seemingly destroys the Borg sphere, but it isn\u2019t long before they realize that the Borg are still active and are tying to stop the flight of Zefhram Cochran\u2019s first warp ship, the Phoenix; a flight that results in the first meeting between Humans and Vulcans. While one part of the crew fight to stop the Borg taking over the Enterprise, the others work to ensure that the first contact happens.<\/p>\n

Synopsis:<\/span><\/p>\n

Writers:<\/span> Dan Abnett &amp; Ian Edginton \/ Artists:<\/span> Cary Nord &amp; Scott Koblish<\/p>\n

While travelling back to their own time following the events of Star Trek: First Contact, the Enterprise-E is diverted into the 20th Century of a parallel universe due to the actions of a time traveler known as Kang the Conqueror. The crew of the Enterprise joins forces with the mutant heroes known as the X-Men to foil Kang\u2019s plans, and to repair the temporal rift. (The story continues in Star Trek: The Next Generation\/X-Men: Planet X, a Pocket Books novel by Michael Jan Friedman.)<\/p>\n

Side Note: Whenever I mentioned I was working on a book about Star Trek comics, this was invariably the first comic that most people recalled. Interestingly there were two distinct and opposite reactions (1.) They hated the book with a passion, the idea of mixing the Trek and Marvel universes being a total anathema; or (2) they thought the idea of having Capt. Picard and Professor X meet was the coolest thing ever as both characters had been played on screen by Patrick Stewart.<\/span><\/p>\n
