Future Imperfect by L.A. Graf (The Janus Gate Trilogy, Book 2)

The Drake rides the bow wave of an explosion over Tesseract Fortress.
(Hm, this is a scene worth revisiting later, with more detail and accuracy.)



So there's this scene with altChekov and Sulu...
As quickly as they had moved, it still hadn't been quick enough. They landed in the midst of a circle of weapons, and behind each gleaming metallic barrel was a lean, angular face taking aim with unemotional efficiency. Sulu felt a disorienting wave of disbelief--it was like facing an execution squad of multiple Spocks--but he drew himself up and made his expression as austere as he could, to match theirs. After one swift glance around to make sure there weren't any Gorn or Klingon supervisors in sight, Chekov did the same.

 ...And that picture--of a solemn-faced Sulu standing up against a crowd of well-armed Romulans--interested me. But as I was trying to figure out the positions of the Romulans, it dawned on me: I stink at crowd scenes. Cringe. Didn't even bother trying out different poses/angles/etc for this one.











   Sulu & altChekov flying a Gorn shuttle with another shuttle's warp core on board. Okay, this may be one of those that reeeally needs context to make sense.
