Star Trek: Deviations--Threads of Destiny Cover A (Alvarado)

This special one-shot puts Lieutenant Nyota Uhura at center stage. In the 23rd century, she explores distant star systems with the Enterprise crew - with the mission to communicate and to build bridges to new life in the galaxy.

But in the 20th century, people worked to build understanding among themselves: African Americans led the civil rights movement and used their voices and acts of protest to end racial segregation and discrimination. Through the Guardian of Forever, Uhura is pulled back in time - to the year 1963. There she joins all those fighting for equality and justice and realizes anew why her work as communications officer may be the most important of all.
