Series background & context
Star Trek: Gateways is a crossover event built around ancient Iconian portals that suddenly reactivate across the galaxy. The Gateways can send ships and people across impossible distances, which sounds useful until worlds, governments, and crews begin to lose control of where anyone will end up.
The series reaches across several Star Trek lines, including The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, New Frontier, and Challenger. Different commanders enter different portals, each facing a separate problem while trying to find a way home.
The whole galaxy is pulled into the same mystery.
Christie Golden is one of six writers on What Lay Beyond, the concluding volume. The book brings the scattered threads together and turns attention back to the Iconians, the ancient builders of the portals. It is designed as a handoff between several casts rather than a single-protagonist novel.
This is best for readers who enjoy franchise-wide events and seeing different corners of Star Trek connect. Start with the earlier Gateways books for the complete build-up, or read What Lay Beyond as a fast-moving finale with an all-star format.
