Isaiah Tremaine

Captain Father Isaiah Tremaine

"The best salute to Star Trek...that's not a Trek story! It's an adventure where no other Trek tale has gone before." "A brilliant metafiction. For Trekkers it's a treasure chest of references to Star Trek, cleverly laced in a terrific story about a present-day earth family with every day real problems." "Red alert! Battle stations!!" I helped my beaten and bloodied seventeen-year-old brother get to his station on the bridge. We were in trouble; all sensors and monitors verified that our home was about to be attacked! Captain Father recounts the undertakings of an unlikely family of twenty-first century adopted children as seen through the eyes of its newest member, Houston Robinson. Houston has as much to learn about his new brothers and sisters as he does about his new home, an earthbound starship called the Lexington. Though different in age and culture-some with troubled pasts-these young people join forces to defend their home and each other. And along the way they come to adore their lovingly eccentric father and his uncanny fascination with Star Trek.
