"Exit Strategies" (Episode 202): With Nietzschean warships on their tail, Dylan, Beka, Tyr, and Rev Bem are forced to crash land the Eureka Maru on a ice planet.

"A Heart for Falsehood Framed" (Episode 203): "Finders, keepers" is the rule on Pierpont Drift, a colony of Chichin thieves. But when the loot is the Hegemon's Heart, a sacred relic of the bug-like Than, Dylan must play mediator to avoid a war.

"Last Call at the Broken Hammer" (Episode 205): Isabella Ortiz was a great leader before the Kalderans destroyed her government and drove her into hiding. She would make a powerful addition to the Commonwealth... if Dylan can find her. The search leads to the Broken Hammer, a tough bar where the shots come from guns, not bottles.
Editor's Note
Based on the writings of STAR TREK creator Gene Roddenberry, the sci-fi television series ANDROMEDA stars Kevin Sorbo (of HERCULES fame) as Dylan Hunt, captain of the sentient starship Andromeda Ascendant for the All-Systems Commonwealth, a galaxy-spanning near-utopian government. Ordered to the far end of a galaxy to rescue a star system from a rapidly approaching black hole, Hunt and his crew become frozen in time for 300 years until a passing ship awakens them. To their dismay, they find that the Commonwealth government has fallen apart and the various member galaxies now exist in utter chaos under a militant organization known as the Nietzscheans. The series follows Hunt and the Andromeda crew as they cope with their new environment and attempt to restore order while fending off the hostile forces who wish to destroy them. This volume includes episodes 1-5 from the series' second season.
