"From the Publisher
"Created by the most brilliant and eccentric intellect in the Federation, the android Data has always believed he is unique--the one true fulfillment of a dream to create children of the mind. But is he? Investigating the mysterious destruction of a new android created by Starfleet, Data and the crew of the "Enterprise" uncover startling secrets stretching back to the galaxy's dim past."
A very fun trip in the Star Trek universe."
