From the Publisher

Beverly Howard is in big trouble at the Academy. They've just begun their first year as Starfleet Medical Cadets, and already Beverly and her roommate Claire Voy are one step from probation. Commander Max Wiley, who teaches the holodeck simulation course in Medical Emergencies, caught them skipping class to visit an excavation in nearby San Francisco. He took them to the Admiral's office and has put them on notice. One more slip and they're out!

When Claire's partner in her Medical Emergencies class is injured, Commander Wiley blames Claire for the accident. But was it an accident? It is the Commander's word against Claire's. Wiley has no reason to lie -- or does he? Beverly's own investigation takes her from the computer labs to the Admiral's office. Now Claire's future hangs in the balance unless Beverly and Data can find a way to clear her -- without being expelled themselves!END

About the Author

Patricia Barnes-Svarney Patricia Barnes-Svarney turned in her rock hammer for a word processor many moons ago -- and hasn't looked back since. Her nonfiction credits outweigh her fiction credits, and you can often see her name lurking in science magazine articles and along the bindings of books for young readers and adults. As you can tell from this book, she loves to cook; plus, she enjoys reading, rock hunting, astronomy, birding, herb gardening, and hiking. She lives with her husband, countless stuffed animals, and sundry squirrels in Endwell, New York. Her great dream is to someday discover the Theory of Everything -- and she hopes it somehow involves chocolate.
