Chain of Attack (2000)
“SULU, now!" Kirk snapped, even before Spock had finished speaking.Acknowledging the command only by his actions, Sulu stabbed at the controls, and the Enterprise surged ahead, warp drive engaged within seconds.In another second, the relativistic starbow in the viewscreen was replaced by the computer-generated star field and the now slightly off-center alien craft."Destruction of alien craft no longer imminent, Captain," Spock said. "The overload sequence has apparently been aborted!""A bluff?" ...Kirk wondered aloud, relieved but not yet relaxing. "Or perhaps they were only simulating an overload.
