The writer-producer who created Mr. Spock and all the other Star Trek characters – who invented the starship Enterprise, who gave the show its look, its ideals – puts it all together again here in his first Star Trek novel! Their first five-year mission is over. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, all the crew have scattered to other jobs or other lives. Now they are together again on a fabulously refitted USS Enterprise as an incredibly destructive power threatens Earth and the Human race.
THE UNIVERSE HAS LESS THAN A CENTURY LEFT… UNLESS SPOCK CAN CHANGE HISTORY! The Enterprise is summoned to transport a dangerous criminal from starbase prison to a rehabilitation center: brilliant physicist, Dr. Georges Mordreaux, accused of promising to send people back in time – then killing them instead. But when Mordreaux escapes, bursts onto the bridge and kills Captain Kirk, Spock must journey back in time to avert disaster – before it occurs! Now there's more at stake than just Kirk's life. Mordreaux's experiments have thrown the entire universe into a deadly time warp. Spock is fighting time … and the universe is closing in on itself with the relentless squeeze of … THE ENTROPY EFFECT
When Captain Kirk and his crew are ordered to challenge the deadliest Klingon starship Terror, they think they're ready for anything. The defenseless Vulcan crew of a Federation science ship has been wiped out, and the Klingon battle cruiser has the USS Enterprise in its sights, ready to destroy it… But Captain Kirk can't seem to make decisions, Spock has started to throw temper tantrums. And Chekov has disobeyed vital orders. The crew of the Enterprise are losing their minds… one by one… all victims of… THE KLINGON GAMBIT…
