Synopsis

An unforgettable adventure starring Captain James T. Kirk and Spock from Star Trek: The Original Series.

Just over a year ago, Captain James T. Kirk was lost to the Nexus while saving the USS Enterprise 1701-B from destruction. Aboard the science ship Intrepid II, Captain Spock, commanding some of his old crewmates, must face the loss of his closest friend. But while still in mourning for one friend, he must come to the aid of another.

Decades ago, Spock had teamed up with David Rabin, the young son of a Starfleet captain, to fight an attempted coup on Vulcan that would have turned the planet’s people away from the path of logic. Now a Starfleet officer, Captain David Rabin has been assigned to a harsh desert world much like Vulcan, where the Federation is determined to protect the lives of the inhabitants. But Rabin’s efforts are being sabotaged and he desperately needs Spock’s help. Spock joins him to face an enemy out of their past and confront deadly Romulan treachery. In the process Spock will decide if the path of his life now leads back toward the family traditions he had once sought to escape.

Goodreads review by Jerry on January 09, 2024

Reading about both young Spock and a post-Generations Spock is interesting. However, the different timelines were confusing, and there were too many references to movies, especially for a story that takes places centuries into the future. So, this was a mixed bag.......more

Goodreads review by Jamie on September 02, 2019

Two alternating story arcs follow Spock, one "present" day and one as an adolescent, as he attempts to quell violent, xenophobic uprisings with troubling origins. The story line following the younger Spock is particularly interesting, following events directly leading up to his making the decision t......more

Goodreads review by Lois on June 20, 2019

This was really interesting - the main story point is what is up above, with the crazed, emotional Vulcan that Spock and the fellow Starfleet captain from his past had to deal with on a tough planet. But the best parts were the side stories or issues - because this is when he begins on the path that......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on April 09, 2011

It demonstrates a great command of Vulcan and the character of Spock, especially in its opening chapters. Nevertheless, it's not as engaging as either "Spock's World" or "Vulcan's Glory"...though it tries to move mountains in order equal their reputations. Strangely enough, it seems a bit redundant......more

Goodreads review by J. Aleksandr on May 20, 2021

Most satisfactory. Never could get into Star Trek books as a kid - something about seeing literally walls of them at used book stores turned me off, as well as the lack of fixed canon. (I gave up on Star Wars when Lucasfilm reset the canon for The Phantom Menace; I'm a nerd, not a geek). Notwithstand......more
