By: Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath (Text taken from the April 1977 edition) CAPTAIN KIRK IS DEAD - LONG LIVE CAPTAIN KIRK! Spock, Dr. McCoy, and the other crewmen of the Starship Enterprise experience a stunning double shock. The first painful blow is Captain Kirk's tragic death. Then, Captain Kirk's miraculous rebirth reveals the most awesome force the Enterprise has ever encountered. Spock is forced into a desperate gamble for Kirk's human soul against Omne - the ultrahuman emperor of life beyond life, and death beyond hell . . . A nerve shattering voyage into unknown terror with the Starship Enterprise. (Text taken from the February 1993 edition) Poker is a game best played with a straight face and steely nerves. Now Spock must play the most dangerous game of all. At risk: the sovereignty of the Federation. The stakes: Captain James T. Kirk.
Omne is definitely one of the most powerful enemies Kirk has ever faced, which makes for some good story telling. This was a pretty good book, although somewhat long-winded in its descriptions at times. It's been many years since I read this novel so perhaps it's time to re-read it to fully appreciate the story.
