Book description
A routine survey of the planet Alpha Octavius Four turns disastrous as
Spock is attacked and poisoned by a huge creature and Kirk's landing
party is trapped underground by a violent earthquake. As Spock fights
for his life in sickbay, Scotty organizes a search for Kirk and his men.
However, rescue efforts must cease when the U. S.S.
Enterprise
is called away to the Beta Cabrini system where a mining colony is
under heavy attack.
At Beta Cabrini, the U. S.S. Enterprise
faces off against a Marauder named Dreen -- a man that Spock had
watched his former captain Christopher Pike defeat years before.
Fighting the effects of the poison, Spock struggles to his feet and
takes command of the ship. Soon, Spock and Dreen are locked into a
deadly game of cat and mouse -- a game driven by mad revenge that can
have only one survivor!
Michael Jan Friedman is the author of nearly sixty
books of fiction and nonfiction, more than half of which bear the name
Star Trek or some variation thereof. Ten of his titles have
appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. He has also
written for network and cable television, radio, and comic books, the
Star Trek: Voyager® episode "Resistance" prominent
among his credits. On those rare occasions when he visits the real
world, Friedman lives on Long Island with his wife and two sons.
He continues to advise readers that no matter how many Friedmans they
know, the vast probability is that none of them are related to him.
