Publisher Description
The Excalibur has been destroyed, the victim of insidious sabotage. Last seen on board only moments before it was blown to bits, Captain Mackenzie Calhoun was assumed lost with his ship. Now First Officer Elizabeth Shelby has been granted a command of her own, the USS Exeter, where she will discover exactly what kind of a captain she is meant to become.
But what about Calhoun? Unbeknownst to Starfleet, the resourceful Xenexian officer escaped the cataclysmic demise of the Excalibur, only to end up marooned on the primitive outback world of Yakaba. There he eventually befriends Rheela, a woman with the strange and inexplicable ability to summon rain for her parched and struggling frontier community.
Rheela’s powers, however, have made her the target of jealous and avaricious enemies. They will stop at nothing to seize control of her special gifts—or destroy them forever. Trapped on a hostile world, unable to contact Starfleet or even let Shelby and the others know he is still alive, Calhoun is drawn into a life-or-death struggle against relentless foes.
Full of unexpected twists and surprises, Restoration is a major turning point in the ongoing saga of Star Trek: New Frontier.

"I read this book and didn't care about it the first few chapters, but as I kept reading it grabbed me and I couldn't put it down. The New Frontier books are all great and Peter David is one of the best writers that Trek has. "

" I'd have given this a higher rating if only I didn't find Shelby's character so unlikeable that I don't want to read about her at all. Too bad her part of the story had to be in the same book with Calhoun's. "

" Enjoyable, though not as strong as the other Excalibur books. The ending almost pays that out, however. "
— Shannon, 6/17/2011 -
" Excellent conclusion, bringing together events from the previous ten books and others in the Trek universe as well. As the series progresses, the characters develop in fascinating ways. "
