By: Kathleen Sky (Text taken from the April 1981 edition) Death Stalks The Corridors Of The Enterprise When Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock barely survived the mission to Delta Gamma Four, the deadly planet whose beautiful blue flowers destroy the mind and ravage the soul, Chief Medical Officer McCoy felt something was dangerously wrong - just how wrong, he didn't realize. For when the Enterprise takes on the alien members of a sensitive Federation diplomatic mission, the ambassadors are murdered one by one. The angel of death is visiting the ambassadors. (Text taken from the July 1985 edition) Captain Log, Stardate 6982.3 The quarantine of the Enterprise continues. There has been no indication of the self-proclaimed Angel of Death on Station Detente One; his or her activities are confined to my ship, and to those ambassadors opposed to the Romulan peace treaty. Three have now died - three deaths that I, as commander, am ultimately responsible for. We are dealing with a being of supernatural abilities: the most sophisticated Starfleet technologies are unable to detect, much less stop it. Until we do solve the mystery of this Angel of Death, my ship must remain where it is: motionless in space, my crew and the ambassadors on it targets for a being whose existence I cannot explain.
A murder mystery on the Enterprise! This is a genre not often visited by Star Trek, but when it does it provides pretty good drama. I enjoy a good murder mystery and this one doesn't disappoint. Having the ambassadors on board is a definite 'Journey to Babel' rip-off, but I can forgive that. Wait until you find out who the bad guy is!
