''Federation'' tracks three different timelines. In the 2060s, a [[ANaziByAnyOtherName fascist movement]] called Optimum is sweeping across Earth, and a physicist named Zefram Cochrane is caught in the crossfire between Optimum's [[TheDragon dragon]] Colonel Adrik Thorsen and LaResistance.
{{Meanwhile|InTheFuture}} in 2267, [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Captain James T. Kirk]] of the USS ''Enterprise'' (NCC-1701) receives a distress signal from Zefram Cochrane, whom he met earlier that year ([[http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Metamorphosis_(episode) TOS: "Metamorphosis"]]).
[[MeanwhileInTheFuture 99 years later]] in 2366, [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Captain Jean-Luc Picard]] of the USS ''Enterprise'' ([=NCC-1701D=]) acquires an apparently Borg artifact from a rogue Romulan ship, containing a computer entity that rapidly takes over the ''Enterprise''.
As the two crews struggle to fulfill their missions, destiny draws them closer together until past and future merge -- and the fate of each of the two legendary starships rest in the hands of the other vessel...[[note]]source: book blurb[[/note]]
