Fortunate Son

Captain Jonathan Archer, son of the warp engine pioneer Henry, assembles a crew and takes the new starship Enterprise out into the heavens.

In one short year, Jonathan Archer, captain of the starship Enterprise NX-01, has made a name for himself and his crew, both with his Starfleet superiors and perhaps less favorably with mankind's alien neighbors.

After a devastating attack on Earth kills seven million people, Captain Archer and the crew of the NX-01 venture into the Delphic Expanse to seek out those responsible.

Upon returning home after preventing a second Xindi attack, Enterprise explores cultural shifts on Vulcan; forges alliances with Earth's neighbors in the face of Romulan aggression; deals with a plague inside the Klingon Empire; explores the Mirror Universe; and overcomes xenophobic elements to lead an interstellar community.
