Fire with Fire (German Feuer gegen Feuer) is a Star Trek: Prometheus novel co-written by Christian Humberg and Bernd Perplies, released in July 2016 in the German language; the English translation started appearing in bookstores on November 22, 2017. It is the first book in the series.

Description[]

Nahe der Grenze zum Klingonischen Reich ereignen sich mehrere brutale Terroranschläge, die Tausende von Toten fordern.
Wer steckt hinter den Angriffen? Sind es Fanatiker aus dem fremdartigen Volk der Renao, das im benachbarten Lembatta-Cluster siedelt? Oder hat der zwielichtige Typhon-Pakt seine Finger im Spiel? Die Sternenflotte entsendet die U.S.S. Prometheus, ihr kampfstärkstes Schiff, in die Grenzregion, um das Rätsel zu lösen, bevor der nächste Krieg in der Galaxis ausbricht.

English version:

A mysterious terrorist organization has carried out several attacks against the Federation and Klingon Empire. Tensions are running high in a region already crippled by conflict. The perpetrators are tracked to the Lembatta Cluster, a mysterious region of space whose inhabitants, the Renao, regard the Alpha Quadrant's powers as little more than conquering tyrants. The Federation are desperate to prevent more bloodshed, and so have sent their flagship, the U.S.S. Prometheus, into the Cluster to investigate the threat before all-consuming war breaks out.

Summary[]

Starbase 91 is destroyed in a terrorist attack and a group calling themselves the Purifying Flame from the reclusive Renao species claim responsibility. The USS Prometheus is assigned to investigate: Its captain, Richard Adams, lost his niece Karen in the attack and its crew includes the only Renao in Starfleet, Lieutenant Jassat ak Namur.

Further attacks destroy the Klingon mining planet of Tika 4b and an observation station on Cestus III. The Klingons despatch the IKS Bortas, commanded by Captain Kromm, a drunken member of a noble family, to assist the Prometheus, accompanied by Alexander Rozhenko. Spock is also sent as a Federation special envoy.

Examination of the wreckage of Starbase 91 suggests that the attackers used Romulan ships and explosives to launch a suicide attack. Spock has Thokal, a colleague in the Unification movement and former Tal Shiar member, investigate and determine that the Renao have acquired surplus equipment that went missing when the Imperial Romulan State was re-absorbed into the empire.

The Federation and Klingon personnel search the Renao homeworld, Onferin, but Prometheus chief of security Lenissa zh'Thiin and chief engineer Jenna Winona Kirk (great-great-niece of James T.) are captured by the Purifying Flame along with their Klingon colleagues, and held hostage so both Starfleet and the Klingons leave the planet.

Jassat reluctantly reports two old friends as Purifying Flame sympathisers and the Klingons capture and torture them, learning the location of the Purifying Flame stronghold. Kromm leads a joint operation to attack the base and the terrorists flee in space craft. The Prometheus and Bortas intercept them and rescue the hostages but many escape using a space-folding technique. Spock performs a mind meld with a captured terrorist and learns the Renao are being influenced by someone. The two ships head further into the cluster in search of answers.
