My rating: 5 of 5 stars
he story focuses on Doctor McCoy reluctantly taking the helm of the Enterprise while Captain Kirk joins the away team on a newly discover planet where he subsequently disappears. There is a lot to like about this book. The author builds a strange world with three evolved species, all of them completely original and fascinating. The character portrayals are picture perfect – Bones is sarcastic and irritable, and Spock is officious and pedantic. It’s no surprise that commanding the star ship turns out to be far more complex and dangerous than expected when Kirk disappears and Klingons and space pirates pose deadly threats. This is one of the top Star Trek books that I’ve read and on the Star Trek book scale I give it five stars.
