What if everything you know about Star Trek... is wrong? The death of Spock. The loss of Vulcan. The uneasy peace with the Klingons. They weren't supposed to happen this way. Captain James T. Kirk carries a secret burned into his mind by Spock Prime himself-a warning that the timeline has been corrupted and the Starfleet future we've believed in is hanging by a thread. To put history back on course, Kirk must defy Starfleet, revisit forbidden moments in Trek history, and trust two of the most unpredictable forces in the galaxy: the Guardian of Forever and Q. The mission? Restore Vulcan. Prevent war. Protect the friendships and victories that define the Federation. The risk? One wrong step, and everything-every episode, every film, every character fans love-vanishes from existence. Restoring the Timeline is more than a story. It's a chance to step inside a hidden chapter of Star Trek lore-to see the choices that could save or erase the universe you thought you knew. For lifelong fans, this is the book that dares to ask: What would you sacrifice to protect the Star Trek you love?
