ST: TNG Blaze of Glory

 

We all have many blazes of glory within our lives. No matter the size of our adventures we succeed. I began this book Wednesday April 8, 2026. It has 277 pages within it.

 

The Enterprise was going  to Star base 37 which was orbiting Artemis IV. Artemis was inhabited by the K'trail which were ancestors of the Vulcans and Romulans. They express more emotions than the Vulcans, however are not as aggressive as the Romulans. The vessel they are searching for has a cloaking device which makes it harder to detect. Laforge was shocked that the ship had cloaking capabilities and wondered how cost effective it was. Riker is suspicious of Ivan’s story. He suspects he’s unwittingly working with the Romulans.

 

The Enterprise reviewed a distress call from a merchant  and went to investigate. It was the Wyoming, a merchant vessel. Then the Blaze was firing at the Enterprise.

“It took a warrior’s courage to attack a clearly superior foe.”

Worf

Blaze of Glory

p. 48

Data recreated a holo program of Blackbeard and the swashbucklers to observe them and their reactions to new stimuli.

“To certain types of so-called abnormal personalities criminal activities often takes on the aspects of a competitive sport. The challenge is committing the crime and getting away with it, because it entails not only risks-or adventure, if you will-involved in commission or these crimes itself, but the competition with the authorities, themselves as well above the law or outside of it.”

Lieutenant Dorn

Blaze of Glory

p. 71

Lieutenant Dorn is being sent on an away mission with Data,  Geordi and Riker. Picard recorded the entire conversation on his communication badge, however he didn’t know he was working with the Romulans. The K’trail sector is to become part of the Neutral Zone, if the Romulans get their way.

“Merchant spacers were a tough and unruly lot and many merchant captains were not particular about who they recruited for their crews. The merchant space fleet had become a refuge for all sorts of borderline personalities-people who were fleeing from their troubles, social malcontents, hardened adventurers, even criminals who had gone to space to escape the authorities of their homelands.”

Blaze of Glory

p. 97

Riker, Dorn and Laforge went to a planet and saw some cybrids. These are cybernetic, augmented, bio-modified, hybrids. These were illegal in the Federation. But in other Quadrant of the Galaxy they still can be found. Kaitana was a cybrid, who thought Riker liked her. However she led the landing party to the bar they were looking for. Kaitana got the landing party a room but than backstabbed them and took them hostage.

Picard rescued Z'gral from house arrest and beamed them both up to the Enterprise.

“Why start a war when you can achieve your objective by other means.”

ST: TNG: Blaze of Glory

p. 148

Riker and his team were captured by Captain Blaze. Kaitana was fighting Riker on the Glory. Kaitana killed Dorn, but Blaze saved Riker and killed Kaitana.

“It’s tough to win when it seems the universe is against you.”

ST: TNG: Blaze of Glory

p. 238

The Romulans were decloking over K’trail.

The Glory was helping the Enterprise fight the Romulans.

“Life without risk is merely an existence.”

ST: TNG: Blaze of Glory

Map of Time

Time is one constant adversary that can never be stopped. It persists no matter how many barriers we try to put against it. I began this novel on Tuesday February 11, 2025. I completed this novel on September 5, 2025. It was written by Felix J. Palma. It has 609 pages.

Andrew Harington would commit suicide to eradicate the past. Andrew imagined that the moon was a place where the dead waited to carry on with the living.

“The sorrow that had cast a shadow over his soul has taken its toll over his appearance, too, for he could scarcely recognize himself in this aging youth, with hallowed cheeks, drawn cast eyes, and unkempt beard who stared back at him into a dried up swollen creature.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 10

“If, as he read somewhere, every man’s paradise was in a different place, Andrew’s was undoubtedly here, a place he had reached guided by a map not charted rivers or valleys but kisses and caresses.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 18

“What mysterious alchemy could make these illustrations appear more vivid than the real thing? The answer was obvious: the passage of time, which transferred the volatile present into the finished, unalterable painting called the past, a canvas man always executed blindly with erratic brushstrokes that only made sense when one stepped far enough away from it to be able to admire it at a whole.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 19

Andrew had a long time friend, Charles, who was his cousin. Charles bought his father a painting of a prostitute that his father adored. Andrew went to White Chapel a few days later to look for her because he felt so deeply in love with her. Andrew found the woman in the pub.

“From then on, he was convinced that the universe  dazzle mankind with volcanic eruptions, but had it’s own secret way of communicating with the select few people like Andrew who looked at reality as though it were a strip of wallpaper covering something else.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 32

Three prostitutes were killed for their money in the last month.

“A look it seems is a bottomless well of opportunity.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 43

Charles found out from the servants about Andrew’s love.

“No paradise is complete without a serpant.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 51

Jack the Ripper was the White Chapel Murderer. Andrew told his father about Marie and was disowned. Andrew found Marie killed by Jack the Ripper.

“For the first time Andrew realized that life, real life, had no connection with the way people spent their days, whose lips they kissed, what medals were pinned on them or the shoes they mended. Life, real life went on soundlessly inside our bodies, flowed like an underwater stream, occurred like a silent miracle of which only surgeons and pathologists were aware, and perhaps ruthless killers too. They were fueled by the breath of God.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 63

They caught Jack the Ripper who was a cook on a ship. He killed his own mother as soon as he could hold a knife. She was a prostitute.

Andrew started taking opium.

“How many people go through life without experiencing pure pain?”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 73

Charles wanted to help his cousin deal with his depression. Andrew was on the verge of committing suicide. Charles slipped him a note which read:

“Tired of traveling through space? Now you can travel through time, into the fourth dimension. Make the most of our special offer and journey to the year 2000. Witness an era only your grandchildren will live to see. Spend three whole hours in the year 2000 for a mere hundred pounds. See with your own eyes the future war between automation and humans that will change the fate of the world. Don’t be the last to hear about it.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 77

“We are aware that objects possess three dimensions: length, breadth and thickness; in order for the object to exist, in order for it to form part of this reality we find ourselves in, it needs duration in time as well as space. That is what enables us to see it and prevents it from disappearing before our very eyes. We live than in a four dimensional world. If we accept that time is another dimension, what is to stop us from moving through it? In fact, that is what we are doing.”

Charles

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 82

“Not everyone thinks time travel is a good thing for society."

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 92

“The problem is that we don’t travel through the time continuum. We travel outside it, across the surface of time.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 94

“Science enables man, reaffirms his control over nature.”

Felix J. Palma

Time travelling is one of mankind’s oldest desires.

Map of Time p. 95

When they stepped through to the other world Kaufman and Austin’s pocket watches stopped. When they returned  they started back up again. Their beards stopped growing as well in the other world.

“Gilliam discovered what was underneath the world, what was behind reality. He had discovered the fourth dimension.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 119

“With the whims of fate and not our own whims our future s were shaped.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 143

“Failure could be enjoyed just as much as prosperity.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 148

“Novels were not slices of life, but more or less controlled creations reproducing slices of imaginary, polished lives where boredom and the futile, useless acts that make us any existence were replaced with exciting episodes.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 165

“One should probably resign oneself to not expecting to much from this world, where we live in. Sometimes I think that if an angel were to be before a priest he would probably shoot it.”

Merrick

“Striving to reach a dream is never a waste of time.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 170

“Hypercube is a cube out of phase that contained every single of existence, all occurring at the same time—something that man's current three-dimensional version prevented him from seeing."

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 179

“For most people, the known world was a tiresome hostile place, but that was because they only could see part of it. Now people were consoled by the notion that, just a bland roast of meat is made tastier by seasonings, the unaware if they imagined if it was no longer reduced to what they were able to see, but contained a secret compartment that could somehow make it bigger. The fourth dimension gave their dull planet a magical feel, it conjured up the existence of a different world, where the desires that were impossible in the three-dimensional world might be realized.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time pp. 179-180

“Man was trapped in the timeline and could only move in time mentally or visualizing the future by means of his imagination. However he could free himself from this constraint if he had a machine, which, like the hot air balloon, enabled him to triumph over the impossible, that is to say to project himself physically into the future by speeding up time, or going back in time by slowing it down.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time

“This Garden of Eden (Wells created) was inhabitant by the extremely beautiful, slender Elo, the exquisite result of human evolution that had not only corrected the weaknesses of the species, but had taken the opportunity of ridding it along the way of ugliness, coarseness unpleasant features.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 183

“Intelligence could not thrive where there was no change and no necessity for change.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 184

Charles had traveled back in time to save Marie Kelley from Jack the Ripper. Andrew created another universe with Marie Kelley, but in doing so he couldn’t be with her.

“Just as a tree's roots grow around a rock, so the consequences of his actions, which could not simply vanish into thin air, had created another reality.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 220

“Perhaps those sounds we hear in the night, the croaking noise we assume are the furniture, are simply the footsteps of our future self watching over us as we sleep  without daring to disturb us.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 221

“It made him giddy just to think that at each crossroads, clutches of other Andrews were born, and their lives went on some time as his, beyond the moment when his life ended, without his being aware of it, because ultimately it was man’s limited senses which established the boundaries of the world. But what if, like a magician’s box, the world had a false bottom and continued beyond the point where his senses told him it stopped?”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 225

“Each man's life forms part of a vast tapestry, woven together with those of countless other souls keen to judge his actions not only in his face but behind his back.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 227

Claire had no intention of coming back from the year 2000, while Lucy did want to.

“Claire still recalled the smartly dressed boy with the sad, chubby face sitting at a desk, dipping his quill into the inkwell and drawing it across a piece of paper. The doll had traced each letter with alarming slowness of someone living outside time, even pausing occasionally to stare into space, as though waiting for another wave of inspiration.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 247

“Isn’t the future always the result of the past?

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 251

“Fate is fate.”

Map of Time p. 252

They created automotronic soldiers in the future. The automaton placed a crown on his head and called himself Solomon. Solomon had a mechanical army since he had killed the human overlord. They came out to pledge allegiance. Their were nannies, factory workers, to dull office workers even butler’s cooks and maids were read to follow him. He called them “the little ones.” The First Council of Automation in the Free World was formed. He kept two human, a male and female in a cage of solid gold to reproduce. A boy escaped the palace by playing dead and being thrown out with the garbage. He wanted to form a revolution against the automatons. So much so that it seemed bullets couldn’t stop him.

“The youth’s deep hatred of the automatons made him cling to life.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 373

They just time traveled to the year 2000.

“Fate is fate.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 285

“Humans were undoubtedly quicker but clearly far more fragile than these creatures, who had slowly but surely taken the planet, perhaps because they had the whole eternity to do so.”

Map of Time p. 286

“The one positive thing about war is that the way it united the human race as never before.”

Felix J. Palma

“Conjuring tricks dazzled us, they even make us think magic exists, but if we only saw how they did it, we’d ask ourselves how we could have been some easily fooled.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 306

“It’s an object that doesn’t move physically through the time continuum. It’s fixed in the future and from there it, well…it makes holes we can travel through to the other eras. Like holes in rocks …it digs tunnels through the fabric of time.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 333

Tom went to HG Wells house to ask for help in writing a love letter to Claire Haggerty for they had just made love.

“Persistent love does not last forever; it merely transforms to other bodies.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 369

Wells agreed to write the letter for Shackleton.

“Even fantasies must be plausible.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 388

“I want people to believe in my invention without realizing it’s an invention.”

Gilliam Murray

“Now I now that nothing brings two souls together than the act of kissing, awakening the desire for one another.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 398

HG Wells met Claire Haggerty. She was burying herself alive due to an illusion.

“It felt so good to let himself be enveloped by the protective mental of that immense unconditional love, the magic cape shielding him from life’s coldness, the icy indifference of every day that made his soul tremble, the incessant wind filtering through the shutters and seeping into his innermost depths.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 436

One of the most important thing in this world is to make a mark.

Tom was drowned by Murray and his men. He was rescued by Solomon. He saw Claire after and made love again.

“Distinguished gentleman and impressionable ladies, we have arrived at the closing pages of our thrilling Tale. What marvels are there still in store for you? If you wish to find out make sure your attention does not stray for an instant, because an even amazing discovery you will be able to travel in time to your hearts content, into the past as well as the future.

Dear reader if you are no coward, dare to finish what you have started?

We can guarantee

This final journey

Is well worth the effort!”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 445

“Science and it’s amazing creations would beat the rhythm to which humanity would dance.”

Collin Garrett

Felix J. Palma

“Science drives events, and mankind must adapt. Above all laws are to remain effective, we must update them to suit the changing faces of the world. Even so when it comes to time travel. We are at the dawn of an evolutionary era that will doubtlessly redefine the world as we know it, and whose inherent dangers are possible, or extremely difficult to judge.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 464

Wells made all of England curious about Time Travel, but he himself had no interest.

Felix J. Palma

Murray began reading to escape the drama of his fathers death.

“Purely by accident the way most things happen in life, you gave me a reason to carry on, a goal which, I were to achieve it would give me the longed-for fulfillment, the elusive happiness I could never obtain.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 484

“People see what they wish to see.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 492

Gilliam conned the Queen of England into believing he was a time traveler. She financed a palace in the Fourth Dimension, which she was going to use as a retreat, however it was never going to be completed, because of the Time War.

“In reality, all I’m doing is making people dream. Isn’t it a shame to think I could be punished for that?”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 484

Wells was to meet the mysterious time traveler at 50 Berkley Square in London. The  Time Traveler is a Librarian.

“During the next century, scientists, physicists, mathematicians, all over the world will become embroiled in the possibility or impossibility of time travel. Theories will abound on how to achieve it, all of which will run up against the immutable nature of the universe, which regrettably lacks many of the physical characteristics necessary for them to test their theories.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time pp. 521-522

“Even so, scientists in my time will refuse to admit defeat and will persist in finding a way of fulfilling man’s deepest longings to be able to travel along the time continuum in any direction he pleases. But all their efforts prove in vain. Do you know why? Because in the end time travel will not be achieved through science.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 522

“Man’s brain is equipped with some sort of superior awareness that allows him to move through time in the same way he moves through space. And even though he is far from being able to harness it, he can activate it which is already a huge accomplishment.”

Felix J. Palma

Map of Time p. 253

“As you can imagine, it was not before the Government created a department responsible for rounding up people showing this ability to study them and help them motivate their skills in a controlled environment. Needless to say, registration with the department was not voluntary. What government would people who possessed a talent to roam free? No, Homo temporis, as they came to be referred to, had  to be supervised. Be that as it may, the study of those affected did succeed in throwing some light on the strange phenomenon: it was discovered, for example, that the time travelers did not move through the time continuum at a constant speed until the inertia of the impulse was used and they came to a halt, as in the case of Mr. Well's machine. Instead, they moved instantaneously from place to place, leaping through the void as it were, only able to control whether they landed in the past or in the future through intuition, as with initial leap.

One thing seemed clear: the further they traveled, the more their energy was depleted after the journey. Some took several days to recover, while others remained in a comatose state from which they never recovered. They also discovered that if they concentrate very hard, they could transport objects and even people with them on their leaps through time, although the latter proved doubly exhausting. In any event, once they had understood as much as they could about the mechanism in the mind that enabled people to travel in time, the most pressing question, the one that had given rise to heated debates even before time travel became a reality, still remained to be answered: could the past be changed or was it unalterable? Many physicists maintained that if someone traveled into the past, say with the intention of shooting someone, the gun would explode in their hands because the universe would automatically realign itself. They assumed the universe must possess some sort of self-awareness designed to protect its integrity, which would prevent the person from dying, because they had not died.  However, by no means of a series of controlled experiments based on making tiny adjustments to the recent past, they discovered that time had no such protective mechanism. It was as vulnerable as a snail without its shell. History, everything that has taken place, could be changed.

A group of scientists built an observation platform in the Triassic Era of dinosaurs. The place where the world’s memory is stored is known as the library of truth.

“Parallel universes were meant to be a way of avoiding the temporal paradoxes that might occur if it turned out the past was not immutable, that it could be changed. What would happen, for instance, if someone traveled into the past and killed their grandmother before she gave birth to their mother?”

The Time Traveler took Wells, Stoker, and the rest to a Map of Time. This map had clippings of past, current and future events. The authors couldn’t tear themselves away from it  The truths it held were outstanding.

The  Time Traveling gene is a mutation. That is why only certain people can achieve this form of travel. The gene was handed down through the generations, meaning all time travelers have a common ancestor.

Marcus was a time traveler. However he stole first editions that were never published and kept them for himself.

“Time travel gives you the chance to do things differently.”

“According to the theory of multiple worlds, changes to the past do not affect the present, but create an alternative present, a new universe that runs alongside the original, which remained intact.”

“Sometimes the best way to find out what we want is to choose what we do not want.”

Wells threw horse manure on Gilliam's building and returned home.

“Parallel worlds Wells had completely forgotten about he had obliged to make up to save the young man’s life. But did they really exist? Did each of man’s decisions give rise to a different world? I fact it was naïve to think that there was only one alternative to each predicament. What about unchosen universes, the ones that were flushed away; why should they have less right to exist than others? Wells doubted very much whether the structure of the universe depended on the unpredictable desire of that fickle, timid creature called man. It was more reasonable  to suppose that the universe was far richer and far more immeasurable than our senses could perceive that when man was faced with two or more options, he inevitably ended up choosing all of them, for his ability to choose was simply an illusion. And sought, the worlds kept splitting into different worlds that showed breadth and complexity of the universe, worlds that exploited their full potential, drained all of its possibilities, worlds that evolved alongside one another, perhaps only differentiated by an insignificant detail such as how many flies were in each, because even killing one of these annoying insects implied it was a choice it was an insignificant gesture that gave birth to a new universe all the same.”
