Book description
Every thirty-three years, a rift in space connects the Federation with
a mysterious race called the Calligar who live on a planet hundreds of
light years away -- much too far to travel in a Starship. Captain Kirk
and the U. S.S.
Enterprise
are dispatched to transport a Federation delegation of diplomats,
scholars and scientists who will travel to Calligar directly during the
brief period of time that the rift will be open.
Mr. Spock leads the
Federation party as they travel by shuttle through the rift just as a
group of the aliens arrive in Federation space. The meetings go
smoothly until the Calligar take Spock's party hostage and Kirk
discovers that the aliens are keeping a deadly secret. With angry
Tellarite and Andorain fleets ready to attack the Calligar, Kirk must
save Spock and the others before war breaks out and the rift closes
for another fifty years.
