    COSMIC CRUSADE  
    The Infinite Threshold   
    The summary of this audiobook is as follows: 
    Captain Zara Okonkwo, a former xenoarchaeologist of Nigerian-Canadian heritage, commands the UFS Meridian on an exploration mission to the Theta Serpentis sector. Her diverse crew includes First Officer Keth'miran, a Vulcan-Andorian hybrid who balances logic with emotion; Science Officer Lyra Chen-Okafor, a brilliant young quantum physicist; Chief Engineer Naia Vel'tar, whose Betazoid-Risian heritage allows her to sense machine "emotions"; Security Chief Thane Zh'kaareth, a former Andorian Imperial Guard; and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Yuki Tanaka-Okafor, who specializes in cross-species medicine. 
    The crew discovers a massive crystalline structure called the Threshold, which broadcasts complex mathematical patterns across space. They are contacted by Vel'keth, a Zephyrian guardian who explains that the Threshold is an ancient test created by beings called the Architects. The structure offers access to advanced knowledge that could heal worlds damaged by the Romulan supernova disaster, but only to species that prove themselves worthy through trials of wisdom, courage, and unity. 
    Despite the risks—some who attempt the trials never return—Okonkwo decides to proceed, motivated by the potential to help millions of refugees still suffering from the galactic catastrophe. The crew enters the Threshold, where they encounter the Architects, ancient beings who maintain a vast repository of knowledge from civilizations across the galaxy. 
    The first trial, the Challenge of Wisdom, presents an impossible moral dilemma: save half the population of a doomed star system or watch them all die. Rather than accept this false choice, the crew devises a third option—using the stellar flare's own energy to power a planetary defense system, turning the threat into the solution. This demonstrates their refusal to compromise their principles even when faced with seemingly impossible circumstances.
