The genesis of a new series: the novelization of the first-ever episode of ENTERPRISE tells the pioneering story of Captain Jonathan Archer and his crew on their first exploration of space. It is the twenty-second century, and the dawn of man's greatest adventure. Under the watchful eye of the Vulcans, Earth has been preparing its flagship, the groundbreaking starship Enterprise NX-01, for her inaugural voyage into interstellar space. When a mysterious alien fugitive - a Klingon - is almost killed in Broken Bow, Montana, the Vulcans argue that mankind is not ready to meet other races and the launch should be postponed. But Captain Jonathan Archer refuses to be deterred. Determined to take the Enterprise to the stars he musters his crew and readies his ship to take the stranger home. Archer is given the assignment - on condition that a Vulcan officer accompanies his crew. It should have been a quick and easy mission...but when the Klingon is abducted by a snatch squad of deadly Suliban, the Enterprise is pulled into a conflict that reaches not only across whole star systems but centuries as well.

Chapter One
Thirty Years Later...
OKL'HMA!
Failed! I have smashed my craft, and now I flee to live!
Die here? In rows of weeds and seeds? This is no way to die! Suliban! The savage pawns must not have what I know. Escape is not cowardice! Run! Thus he ran from the smelling wreck of a noble craft that had carried him so far, whose flawed intakes he had not been able to mend in time. The wreck would distract them. It was Klingon to its core and it would serve till the end, spewing a curtain of smoke to hide him in the stalks.
Who was on this planet? Who had made the stalks into rows as tidy as a mOghklyk's spine plait? What beasts were here who built the land into squares, the buildings into squares, and the fences into squares? Were they also square?
Klaang ran, ran like a fear-driven child, but with anger also, which kept him leaping harder with each step. The gravity here -- he could run faster than on Qo'noS. His bulky body served better here and seemed young again. He knew he was big, even for a Klingon, but here he sensed an advantage. Suliban animals would lose him in this weed field.
Then the blasts began, and he knew he was wrong. The stalks beside him burst into flame and withered, blackened. A glance over his shoulder told him they were after him even through the smoke and weeds. He saw their mottled faces, heard their weapons, and sensed their insult.
"Hah!" A burst of new energy, driven by the stink of burning plants, drove him faster toward the square buildings he had seen as his craft rushed overhead to its death. A good death in battle for a good old craft, to go ferociously into the dust and flame with scars of Suliban attack. The future would know about it.
The Suliban weapons spat bitter fire at Klaang as he ran. The alien countryside lit up in great expanses. Ridiculously, he tilted toward each shot; escape would be preferred, but if there was no escape, he wanted to die boldly. He was running to save the mission, after all, not himself. His conscience and his duty were in conflict.
But to die with Suliban disruption in the back -- who would tell how it really had been for him? Why he died with wounds in his back?
Could he run backward?
He was about to try when a port opened in the nearest building and an alien emerged, bright in the face and round in the body, with hairless chin and narrow shoulders and cloth on its head. Shock broke across its expression, and it disappeared back into the swinging port.
Klaang angled away from that building and went for the silver tower to the side. It was windowless and tall, suggesting an inner confusion and a possibility of darkness in which to conceal himself.
The door was large enough for him, made of thin metal and bracings. He pushed it shut and slammed the rod that obviously bolted the door.
Would Suliban be stopped? Klaang stepped back into the darkness and looked at the door. A thin sliver of light around the perimeter proved the door was not tight. Suliban would flatten through it.
He had seen the disgusting sight before. He began to feel his way around, and found a ladder.
By the time he heard the Suliban dislocating their skeletal structure to melt under the door -- actually, he heard their shuffles as they reassembled, but in his mind he saw the meltdown -- he was bursting out another door, high in the silver tower. Another roof!
Yes, he had seen this nearby small building, and now it was here to help him! He held his breath, and leaped.
His soles slammed onto the tiny roof, breaking the plated material that warded off weather. In his mind, he endured a quick guess about what kind of weather would come to a place like this.
Then he was on the ground again. He lost balance for a moment as he spun around and drew his disruptor. Now! He would get a shot at them! They were inside that port he had just come from, trapped in the metal tower! A disruptor shot would charge those metal walls and force the Suliban out the other end, where Klaang would be waiting for them!
He leveled his disruptor and fired a single salvo at the open portal he had just come from.
Rather than a simple charge, what came out was a gout of sheer fireball. The tower rumbled at its base, then blew to splinters with a great throbbing roar.
Explosives! Why would these aliens keep volatiles in a field of stalks?
Klaang staggered, shocked, blown backward by the unexpected detonation. He stared at the instantly burning wreckage and wondered why a simple tower would get a noble death, just for hiding volatiles.
But the Suliban would have no more interest in him. Not those two Suliban.
"Top ryterr!"
Momentarily confused, Klaang stumbled and turned to see the slope-shouldered alien now standing two steps from him, with a weapon aimed at Klaang's breastplate.
"Aymeenut!" the alien cried.
Klaang tried to make sense of the sounds, which seemed to have some Klingon inflections, but he made much more of the stance. "Rognuh pagh goH! Mang juH!" Would the alien understand his warning?
The alien's face crinkled. "May'v nodea mityer sning, muttay gerrentee i nowow tuze iss!" Why had this creature interfered in the quarrel of others? What kind of people were these? In a rage of insult and irritation, Klaang slapped his thighs and ranted, "HIch ghaH! Oagh DoO!" He was about to spit out his further opinion, when the alien proved him completely wrong by opening fire.
An energy stream bolted from the weapon and caught Klaang in the chest. As he sailed through the light and bright air to the place where he would die in the stalks, he silently thanked the interesting alien for a wound in front. At least future ages would know he hadn't died running.

A nice read about the beginning of Starfleet.
By Roger J. Buffington
"Broken Bow" is the novelization of the first episode of the television series "Enterprise" and it is a quite enjoyable read. It is approximately 150 years from now. Mankind has made first contact with the Vulcans, and later a few other intelligent races, but Earthmen are still the "new kids on the block" and humans are just beginning to venture out into the stars in a significant way. Starfleet is very new, and mankind's mentors, the Vulcans, disapprove of these upstart humans getting loose outside of our Solar System.
The novel delves into the politics of the construction of the Enterprise and Starfleet, both of which the Vulcans believe are premature, more than the initial television episode did. I personally find the setting in "Enterprise" to be more interesting and enjoyable than that in either The Original Series or The Next Generation (both of which I very much enjoyed!) simply because it has a wonderful "New Frontier" feeling to it. The new warp technology means that Starfleet has very little knowledge of what lies "out there," the other technology is new and sometimes quirky. The transporter is "safe for biotransport" but no one relishes the idea of riding the darned thing, which I can understand. Most races that Enterprise will encounter are new to mankind, and offer new challenges and opportunities. In this episode, humanity meets up with the Klingons, which is never an easy thing to do!
The prose in the novel is good, and this is a very decent read for fans of "Star Trek" and the "Enterprise" concept.

Excellent adaptation of a fine episode.
By James Yanni
In this book, Diane Carey once again demonstrates what she is capable of when not attempting to show how cute and clever she can be with the language. In many of her earlier works, her writing was almost indecipherable due to a tendancy to try to find new, unusual uses for perfectly good words. More and more, in her recent efforts, she has gotten away from this quirk, and the result has been some truly fine writing; this is one of the best so far. The story itself is not as good as her story in "Day of Honor, Ancient Blood", but that isn't her fault. In this case, she is writing a novelization of an existing episode, and she does a solid, workmanlike job of it. The episode is good, just not as good as the best ideas that Ms. Carey has had on her own. This story is an excellent introduction to the "Enterprise" characters and storyline, and Ms. Carey's treatment of it is very worthwhile reading.

Good read
By Broncomaniac
Nice read with familiar cast of characters. Good job of re-telling the pilot episode with additional details.
