By: Stephen Goldin (Text taken from the January 1979 edition) Blast off with Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy and Mr. Spock as they hurtle through space with the crew of the Starship Enterprise. Plunge through an eerie pocket of spatial unreality as they risk death by radiation to save the endangered people of Epsilon Delta 4. See the marvels of Enowil, the mad gnomic master of an insane planet. Beware of treachery from the Klingons, if you would succeed your mission. (Text taken from the December 1984 edition) Captain's Log, Stardate 6191.8 I am faced with one of the most difficult decisions of my career. Three days ago, the Enterprise was ordered to proceed at maximum warp to Epsilon Delta 4, where 700 colonists are slowly dying of radiation poisoning. Our journey there was interrupted when Enowil, an eccentric being of unbelievable power, seized control of the ship, as well as one Klingon and one Romulan star crusier. Offering anything in his power to give as a reward, he has asked all of us for help in solving what he refers to as a 'private matter.' I've seen evidence of his power: it's incredible. If I decline, if I take the ship and leave, both the Romulans and the Klingons have a chance to obtain what could be an unstoppable weapon . . . and change the galactic balance of power. But if I stay, I am surely condemning the 700 colonists on Epsilon Delta 4 to a slow and painful death.
This novel is written in the same style as, "How Much For Just The Planet?" A very bizarre story, but none-the-less entertaining. It's a "mad world" alright. Check it out if you dare!
