DC Comics’ Star Trek: The Next Generation title, from writer Michael Jan Friedman, earned acclaim from fandom and critics alike, but those 80 issues were not the only tales featuring Jean-Luc Picard and company. This volume collects The Next Generation Specials #1–3, featuring stories by Friedman and other talented scribes, including popular Star Trek writers Diane Duane, Tony Isabella, Kevin J. Ryan, and Chris Claremont.

Guinan helps a friend open a bar, Worf shows Alexander what it means to be Klingon, Ensign Ro’s court-martial is explored, and DC reveals a day in the life of Data’s cat. Plus, Jame Finney and T’Kir return from Debt of Honor, Montgomery Scott helps Morgan Bateson of the USS Bozeman acclimate to the 24th century, Geordi La Forge reunites with an old friend, and Captain Koloth seeks revenge on Scotty for his tribble-caused disgrace. As a bonus, Diane Duane and Ken Penders offer the scripts to their stories (dialogue from which had been inadvertently removed during production), enabling readers to experience these tales the way they were always meant to be—with all of their dialogue intact.
