Publisher Description
Continuing the milestone 50th anniversary celebration of Star Trek—a brand-new novel of The Original Series featuring James T. Kirk, Spock, and the crew of the USS Enterprise!
Investigating a series of violent raids by a mysterious predatory species, Captain James T. Kirk discovers that these events share a startling connection with the First Federation, a friendly but secretive civilization contacted early in the USS Enterprise’s five-year mission. Traveling to the First Federation in search of answers, the Enterprise suddenly comes under attack from these strange marauders. Seeking refuge, the starship finds its way to the true home of the First Federation, an astonishing collection of worlds hidden from the galaxy beyond. The inhabitants of this isolated realm are wary of outsiders, and some accuse Kirk and his crew for bringing the wrath of their ancient enemy down upon them. When an attempt to stave off disaster goes tragically wrong, Kirk is held fully accountable, and Commander Spock learns there are even deeper forces that threaten this civilization. If Kirk and Spock cannot convince the First Federation's leaders to overcome their fears, the resulting catastrophe could doom them all!
Customer Reviews
A great sequel to a great episode.
Although a bit longer than I think it needed to be, this book felt like an episode of the original series–with a much larger budget. We even get fist fights and prison breaks! There's even an attempt to bridge the original and animated series. All in all, an entertaining read, with excellent characterization of the original crew, and a message we could all stand to heed in this current political climate.
Fantastic novel!
It is rare that a good TOS novel comes our way, let alone an exceptional one! Christopher L. Bennett ties a classic episode into a new story that is well written, and a lot of fun to read! Highly recommended!
