Excalibur - Peter David

With the sudden complete destruction of the USS Excalibur, Starfleet has lost one of its finest starships. But the crew of the Excalibur have lost much more - their captain, and their home. Now, as they mourn their ship and Captain Mackenzie Calhoun, First Officer Elizabeth Shelby and the remaining crewmen of the Excalibur wait to hear what new assignments and adventures will take them far apart from one another.
For Lieutenant Soleta, this means a painful reunion with her Romulan father, while Zak Kebron and Mark McHenry are sent undercover to investigate a series of mysterious alien abductions on a low-tech world. Going their separate ways throughout the Alpha Quadrant, the Excalibur's survivors must face their diverse challenges and dangers on their own. The ship may be history, but the adventure continues...
